What's Omari Banks up to these days?
Paki fast bowler Fazl e-Ahkbar
That is a deadset cracker.
Interestingly after hearing Mahendra Nagamootoo's name, I looked him up last night. Now I know genetically, even in the small nations your probability of being a test cricketer is minimal so for him to represent the Caribbean shouldn't be understated.
However when you have two uncles who between them hit 160 first class hundreds, 27 in Tests, 11000 runs at 46, probably fair to say you've not made the most of your genes when you only play a handful of tests and don't particularly impose yourself.

Had the odd batting stance right? With his ass sticking out.

Owais Shah killed it for th Hurricanes one season. Him and Travis Birt single handedly got them huge scores.
Gurinder Sandhu is on the way to featuring in this thread.

Marvan definitely shouldn't be anywhere near this thread. Played 90 Tests (16 centuries, 17 centuries) and 268 ODIs (11 centuries, 59 fifties) in a 17-year international career. One of Sri Lanka's greatest players.

I feel like he lost his way a bit when he started experimenting with bowling spin. Not sure whose idea it was, but it was a bit random and unnecessary for a 6'4" pace bowler to be doing that.
Still fairly young (same age as Pat Cummins), so has plenty of time to get it right, but like Cummins, needs to get FC games into him to develop further.
How long before Callum Ferguson reaches this thread? Going to be a one test player for sure.
Not at all. Was a very good player. Just a name I wanted to throw out there

Kaluwitharana and Gurusinha are great players for SL that are forgotten.
Funnily enough Kalu is sort of revered for what he did in the ODI game - and to a degree it's fair enough because aside from Mark Greatbatch, no one had ever really been as aggressive as he was in the early overs in the 95-96 tri series, but his overall career in the short format didn't really match his talent.
He actually finished with quite a decent test record though and I think possibly scored a ton on debut against Australia in 92-93, the same series where Warne began to make a name for himself.
The Guru was a really solid cricketer. made a boxing day test 150 after getting smashed in the seeds.
Along with Aravinda and Arjuna Ranatunga he probably gave them their first real spine in the top order.

Then Hobart signed him up for two years and everyone worked out Shah could only score on the leg side and he was ******* hopeless the other two years.

Any South Africa off spinner belongs in this thread, like the nothing all-rounders England use to produce.

Earl Spalding. A lot of people may not know or remember he played first class cricket for W.A. Took 4/37 in the second innings of his first game (including the late David Hookes caught behind) to lead W.A to a 21 run outright win.
In his second game W.A were chasing an outright win and he was #11. W.A looked home but lost their 7th and 8th wickets 6 runs shy. They got home by two wickets and he wasn't required. As an out and bunny, I know from talking to him years ago he was more nervous sitting with his pads on that day than in most situations on a football field.

Steve Nikitaras. Few games for NSW, few games for WA, ended up captaining Greece.
