Dunno anyone who's had a similar career prejectory to me. Starts off randomly gun, gets dropped and plots around like an old man, hits back in form, gets a recall, does average to decent on recall.
Yeah, but I eventually gave up on that as I'd otherwise have a stroke with the amount of people who make the false comparison. It's like the treating seasons as years thing.
Nah his FC record >>>> mine, besides I haven't performed as crap as he did since recall. I see myself as being Taufeeq Umar, thinking about it.
So... Burridge - Umar (solid if unspectacular opening bats who got dropped from their sides but came back reasonably) Vago - Hayden (Queenslanders, openers, gun at domestic but crap at higher levels until the quality decreased) Herd - Cowan (fringe FG for a long time, recently found his feet) Gemmell - M Waugh (gun bat, gun slipper, and decent offie, but who is often unreliable in tough conditions and is randomly weak against offies) Hornby - Pietersen (former bowlers, turned them into gun bats after leaving their provinces, but true loyalties under question) Popovic - S Waugh* (showed initial talent as an all-rounder, but his batting has shown more ability recently) B Read - White (a reasonable but underachieving all-rounder. Bowls decreasingly relevant leggies) J Read - Ramdin (solid but unspectacular wicket-keeper) Tyson - Hadlee (bowling all-rounders who wrecked shit up for their higher level side) Taylor - Tahir (leggies who have always been good but have recently taken the next step up) Rocker - Harmison (former solid performers, have fallen by the wayside recently but still occasionally produce good performances) * circa like 1993.
A player who succeeds at the top level, but is extremely average in the lower grades or domestic. *awaits various names from Cribbert*
