Owais Shah - Completly overrated
Jimmy Ormond- Not his fault there wasn't really anyone else to pick

[Manormanic]

Ormond survives for his shirp to Mark Waugh...and for the fact that Smith, Igglesden, McCague, Brown and Giddins were all worse!

[wasted_talent]

how about: pattison who played one test for england?

and the tall mohammed irfan who played one odi for pakistan last time they were in england

[Manormanic]

I reckon Pattinson mighthave done alright in more suitable conditions!

Owais Shah - Completly overrated
Jimmy Ormond- Not his fault there wasn't really anyone else to pick

Shah got 80 odd in his first test match - scrub that. Fat Jimmy has to be in the mix for sure but didn't he come up :-

Ormond was involved in a notable piece of sledging; when, in a Test match against Australia in 2001, Mark Waugh asked him, "Mate, what are you doing out here? There's no way you're good enough to play for England." Ormond replied "Maybe not, but at least I'm the best player in my own family", a reference to Waugh's brother Steve, who was the captain of the Australian team.[1]

He only averaged 92 with the ball and had a personality, got to be worse cricketers than Jimmy.

[Johnny]

11 year old me got to see my first test matches during the '93 Ashes, but gutted with some of the selection that went on...

Lathwell?
McCague?
Igglesden?

At leat some of the other unheard of's came good in the end (Thorpe and Hussain)

Chris Schofield might well get in a worst XI

[dhackett89]

can't think of a full team yet

but there would be big competition in the spin bowling stakes as well as the numerous aussie and south african no hopers in recent years we should think about chris schofield or alex loudon

[Manormanic]

Min Patelmight keep him out...

[procricket]

Which keeper

Blakey or Paul downtown or Kamran Akmaal

Alan wells

[uknsaunders]

Gavin Hamilton need I say more?

[The_Bird]

Ian Salisbury must be up there

[procricket]

Right lets start at the beginning opening bats

Mine are

Latherwell
And Clayton lambert

[uknsaunders]

Chris Adams
Ian Salisbury - anybody that can take 1 or 2 wickets on turners in Pakistan and get outbowled by Giles deserves an automatic inclusion. That said he actually batted ok!

[dhackett89]

floyd riefer as skipper for me
with gavin tongue
and lionel baker as seam options
