Truly dreadful English cricketers of the 21st century

[Dexter]

Ed Joyce and Boyd Rankin were terrible anarl and we had the cheek to steal them from Ireland.

 

[Jack Torrance]

James Vince
Dawid Malan
Dom Sibley
Zac Crawley

Their averages for England are atrocious.

Wouldn’t say they are truly dreadful. Malan in particular has been a fine white ball cricketer for England

Ben Duckett was a truly terrible pick to open the batting once upon a time.

Good shout, there were some strange picks that tour, I’ll throw in Zafar Ansari and Gareth Batty

 

[Silly Point]

Liam Dawson

i guess it's how you read the question. to me it's players who were genuienly bad and didn't deserve a cap, not players who were great but couldn't perform in international cricket otherwise surey ramps needs a mention somewhere

I was drunk to be honest. So I'm glad it's just coherent

Dom Bess

I have a feeling he will never play for England again, is clearly finding the other wickets other than Taunton not the same.

 

[WCC]

Jake Ball is shocking like

 

[Eggman]

Look no further than Derek Pringle

Definately, but he was a 20th Century Boy.

I'm surprised it took 9 posts for Saj to get a mention.

Ian Ward for me, poor player and a poor tv pundit who has somehow landed on his feet (Surrey connection ?)

Liam Dawson

I think he’d have been a decent bet on those raging turners earlier this year. Accurate and reliable, which was all you needed out there. Can hold a bat too.

Same argument could have been made for Samit Patel.

 

[KGC83]

James Bracey. Absolutely atrocious.

 

[The Breen Machine]

Most have already been mentioned but Mal Loye looked absolutely shit when catapulted into the limited overs side.

Anthony McGrath was rank average too.

 

[smoker]

Sajid Mahmood
James Bracey
Luke Wright
Usman Afzaal
Ian Ward
Jimmy Ormond
Ronnie Irani
Richard Dawson

 

[WCC]

Anyone remember that Darren Pattinson, 30 year old Aussie who had only played 11 first class games

 

[TheRey]

(red bell) - Johnny Bairstow.

Ian Ward may have been a poor England player, but is a excellent tv pundit imo comes a across as a natural tv presenter

I can’t stand his ‘style’

Add Chris Silverwood to the list of poor players

Yes, he is James Pattinson's elder brother.

Won the CC with Notts then disappeared

Tin hat on

May or may not have been fishing with that one

You just had too didn’t you

I just had to reply you win

Only described be his peers many times as a freakish talent!!!

Out of the 7 fastest hundreds in odi history for England he only has 4 of them.

Truly dreadful he has not got all 7

Tbf he is spectacular in white ball, arguably the best we've ever had.


Nowhere near in Tests though (albeit despite Chunks wind up should be nowhere near this thread)
