I didSurely someone has mentioned Mike Smith by now?
Picked because it would swing at Headingley, didn't swing once and Thorpe dropped Matthew Elliott off him who went on to make 199![]()
That’s the first name that came to mind for me. He finished a test batting average of 25, and got 4 wickets at exactly 50 a piece.Tim Munton. 2 tests against Pakistan in the early 90s. His son now plays in the NEPL for Felling.
Hardly in the 1990s thoughColin Milburn. Larger than life!
Duh!Hardly in the 1990s though
Aye - Poor Ollie only got to see two months of the 1990s.Hardly in the 1990s though
My first game I ever attended was a testimonial for him at Ropery Lane (it was against Greenside maybe 1975?).Yes, such a shame.
He was a great character.
I saw him playing as pro for Chester Le Street after his accident
The fielding, less soMy first game I ever attended was a testimonial for him at Ropery Lane (it was against Greenside maybe 1975?).
I remember he never scored many and spent most of the remainder of the game in the bar.
Bet he would have loved batting in the T20.![]()
God there were some shocking allrounders picked for England in the 90s werent there. If you could get 20 runs down the order and bowl a few right arm dobbers you were sure to get a chance.Vince Wells and Matthew Fleming -neither played Test cricket but both represented England in ODIs in the 1990s.

all will have been SEB on this thread but jesus.... utter tosh cricketers. Mike Watkinson.![]()
Yeah he was a right arsehole AH too. Bit of a slogger batting 7 and would hoy some 70mph dobbers down and slower balls under the guise of being a seam bowler. Trash.Adam Hollioake was one of the worst examples of playing for the right county. He was bloody awful. Bopara just the same.
