test eleven out of players that were full of potential and never really delievered on the international stage

This is my side, what is yours?

1)Wasim Jaffer
2)Neil McKenzie
3)Mark Ramprakash
4)Michael Bevan
5)Shoaib Malik
6)Graeme Hick
7)Parthiv patel (wk)
8)Beau Casson
9)Darren Powell
10)Suiliemn Benn
11)RP Singh

Hasn't McKenzie got a pretty decent test record?

he was better than his record suggested, and wasnt consistent enough

Average, of 37 from 58 tests seems pretty good to me...

Ramps is a good shout though, tremendous county batsman who never truly translated his form to the international arena.

average of 37 for an opener in tests isnt great

Bevan definitly deliverd in the ODI scene i would say, not sure about tests never really saw anything of him, probably why you've put him there.

Tendulkar .......

Nick Knight was a flop in Test, after being a fine ODI player.

Irfan Pathan, the new Kapil Dev, quickly became the new Ajit Agarkar

As many could maybe say, Rob Key and Chris Read maybe...?

Jack Russell perhaps?

i probably should have swapped hick and bevan in the batting order

Stuart Law
Brad Hodge
Matthew Elliott
Greg Blewitt

Simon Jones
Alex Tudor

Both very talented but had their careers seriously curtailed because of being fragile.

Stuart McGill? Probably the second best leggie in the world for most of his career, but had the misfortune of being the same nationality as the best one (ever?).

i wouldnt say that simon jones, didnt fullfill his potential... because although his england career got cut short he was fulfilling his potential, i dont think he qualifies for this, but i think your right about tudor

I agree with CF on this occasion

Oh, I've no doubt that at least for the 05 series, Jones was a really good bowler - it was more that his career has been so hampered by injury that he didn't have a great Test career.

SiJo averaged 27 in Test Cricket
He was definitely better than in just one series.
