Me too. I put them in a category with Tim Murtagh for some reason
Iirc TRJ only got his chance because of injuries, then his International career was cut short by injury itself. Shame because he started well & it would have been nice to see how far he could have gone.

Bit harsh on Ben who was still only 24 when he died an a very good cricketer.
True enough and ironically Ramps averaged 40 against Australia

His career has been mythologised due to his untimely death. He was a good, young county player but debatable if he was international standard. His form dipped massively after being dropped for England and he lost his place in the Surrey team.
Sam Curran was the same age when he made his England debut and has been head and shoulders better than Hollioake was.

Without thinking 'ouch' at the same time.

Craig White had a good quick ball knocked the badge off Martin crowes helmet iirc
Good shout. Decent county pro, got called up v West Indies in 1995 at the age of 34.
His whole career peaked at this moment
Got out first ball to Ambrose
Made 3* off 39 balls in 2nd innings. Never played again
On the face of it, a bizarre selection completely inline with the revolving door policy in the mid-90s

He’s the first name most people come out with whenever people mock the England teams of the 90’s but they can never take it away from the lad. As the article suggests, he’ll always have that tag ‘ex-England cricketer’.Igglesden receiving end of life care

Surely 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

Got a game as 4th or 5th seamer and a hard hitter batting 6 (good old fashioned allrounder) then all of a sudden they discovered at the end of the day he could nearly touch 90mph

His cousin was my head teacher at junior school, lovely lady!

Not so much rabid but could move it around lovely with his left arm swing.
One of them players who was nailed on for 70+ wickets most seasons iirc. But never did a jot at test level

Was he before or after Simon Brown? They seemed to try out every left armer before settling on Mullally
