Haha quality, anyone got any stories of players who joined their club promising big things but then turned out to be fairly bad?

We had a South African about 3 years ago, he said he played 2 divisions below the franchises back in South Africa and he was awful. After not getting picked in our third team, he left for a local team and he was quoted in saying that he had been a coach of the SA national team. He left that team and now he's at another team and looking at their stats he's done nothing!

We had a overseas from South Africa about 5 years ago, Roger Telemacus. He actually played for the South African 1 day side and played in the game where they chased down Australia's huge total. Hardly got any runs or wickets. Shocking.

Our overseas is still in Tasmania after pocketing £700 for the air fare then worked out he'd applied for a tourist visa then got nicked for drunk driving!. No pro so every team in the food chain takes a hit

I know Adrian personally. But it's an ongoing story, which I don't want to make comment on - there's been enough hearsay and chat already.

He has a first class ton doesn't he?

He sub pro'd at Preston last year - didn't score any runs then either.

Surprised Lancs let him go though - they have quite a threadbare squad this year.

The report made out that he's rubbish! Even though he retired hurt for 10 against Durham, he survived 60 balls against one of the best bowling attacks in the country... he must be able to hold a bat.
