What is your criteria for international.

There have been some poor players from the weaker nations and 2nd tier playing in World Cups etc.


Or start with who played for England in 2013??

That will be the England players that beat New Zealand and Australia then?

Ajmal, Williamson or Senayake for getting to international level bowling by chucking it?

Williamsons clearly a batsmen, and a good one at that!

So it is ok to chuck it if you can bat?

Samit Patel for England
Sreesanth for India
Khwaja for Australia - not saying he is a bad player just been a bit useless on International level

Hey, we've got one of this guys that likes to read a post, realise it doesn't agree with him, so make something completely different up in his head and reply to it!


He's a part time spinner, so because his action has been declared illegal, it doesn't make any off his batting achievements suddenly worthless, and him now declared rubbish at cricket.

But them I suppose your original post was done to get "likes", in a topical but controversial type of way.

Hey, we have someone who thinks he is all big and clever because he thinks he knows more than everyone else and will happily show a lack of respect to others because he sits behind a keyboard and types a bit.

The topic states 'worst' and does not define it as 'rubbish'.

Williamson bowls (or used to) at international level until he was shown to be a chucker.

That is cheating, and in my book, the worst type of cricketer.

And I am a Yorkshireman who has this person in our County team for most of the summer, so I am aware of his quality with the bat.

To even mention his name in the "Worst ever..." is just ridiculous. You are not a cheat if you are allowed to bowl then get tested and asked to stop bowling. You have an issue with your arm that needs to be addressed. Don't be a complete knob.

I will accept that Williamson is not rubbish as he can bat, I was generalising in the above.

I presume that you don't class Senayake or Ajmal as a cheat either?

You're up early?  Shall we get this back on track?

Who is the most 'rubbish' international.

I think you need to have some criteria.

Must play a minimum of 5(?) international matches
Has to be from a test playing nation
Have to give the reason why, not just a name?

Im going to say this bloke:
http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh/content/player/55882.html (http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh/content/player/55882.html)

purely because I played against him a few weeks back and he wasnt even the best batsmen on the pitch and more importantly he had 6 overs bowling at me and couldnt get me out or even look remotely like getting me out. If you didnt know who he was was you wouldnt have guessed that he had played any sort of professional cricket let alone Test match cricket.

He did do Michael Clarke though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE2tdQP9U9Q (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE2tdQP9U9Q)

Please be joking  ???.

Well clearly Dernbach tops the list, not much debate there. Possibly even Mark Ramprakash if we're discussing international cricket only? Just couldn't convert that county class to  the higher level.

Williamson is a decent bat which is the reason he was selected. It's up to the skipper if he wants to bowl him but he does chuck it. Proven! Ok to clarify let's stick within the main 6/7 cricketing nations. Not including the likes of zim, bang etc.

Come on ladies...no fighting!

Carberry isn't the worst because he scored a few runs! I'm talking players that have been a total flop!
