Obscure Players That You Remember

Lloyd Mash. Played 25-odd games and averaged 25 I think for Victoria? Actually played a bit of ECA

One letter away from having a substantial test career.

Read that as Marsh at first.

Was gonna ask why his dad Rod didn't put him in the Test team.

I played Dowling Shield with St Kilda CC when they had the old district club affiliations, Craig & Davison we’re playing then and I think Craig played some cricket for Victoria. Craig didn’t really give anyone the time of day but Davison was a pretty good guy.

Ian Wrigglesworth - played a few Shield & one day games for Victoria. Bowling all-rounder who I enjoyed watching as a young kid.

Mark Ridgway - Tasmanian paceman who was at some point quite quick. However, I caught him at the tail end of his career where he was famous for bowling off a 6-7 step run up.

Did Zimbabwe ever play their 3 sets of brothers in the same side? (Paul & Bryan Strang, Guy & Andy Whittall, Grant & Andy Flower)

I've found three Tests that they all played. There are at least a few more than 5/6 played.

Wrigglesworth - he used a Kippax bat from memory and was known amongst myself and two mates as ‘Ian Wobblesvalue’ thanks to his exceptionally good last name. Apparently his grade numbers were colossal and he’s got a kid that’s pretty good.

Sehwag seems to be on the trend too.

Ravi Rampaul.

Ravi Rampaul.

Rampaul is actually still playing, a combination of his own unwillingness to drop a few kilos and - surprisingly, the WICB’s poor management of him - led to him playing far less test cricket than his ability probably should have demanded. He was like a slightly defected bowler from the Steyn production line. Willing to go for runs to chase wickets, only about 10km/h slower so less effective.

I remember him destroying us in an ODI in India once. Could be dangerous on his day but was inconsistent for the most part.

He ended up in hospital in Perth after he lost around 5kg’s in a day bowling at the WACA in high 30’s temperatures.

Was assaulted in Melbourne during the 2000/01 tour of Australia I believe.

The replies to the Sehwag tweet made me check the stats of Roger Twose. He actually averaged close to 39 in ODI cricket, which is higher than I thought.

Why did Pedro Collins and Jermaine Lawson play so few tests? They were decent if memory serves me right.

Lawson had a really dodgy action. He ended up in the US.
Collins just wasn’t that effective. His brother (Fidel Edwards) was a good wicket taker but could be smashed as well.

Twose could really play. Was a very intelligent cricketer, just wasn’t cut out for tests and probably didn’t have the ‘glamour’ factor as an ODI cricketer. Had a great Shannon Noll-style flavour saver

Featuring on the same tour of Australia, for his only Test - Gavin Tonge.
