Unluckiest Cricket Player

[King Pietersen]

Yeh, MacGill, or Andy Flower, could have been seen as one of the best batsmen of his era if he was playing for a top test nation. Really really good player.

Vinod Kambli. Was in top form till his ankle injury. Never could make come back after that as Laxman cemented his place in side.

I'd say Yuvi, in terms of a test place.

I'd say Yuvi, in terms of a test place.

That's not unlucky he has a few flaws in technique minor ones though...

I'd say Shoaib Malik he has to capitain Pakistan.

 

[.Mob]

No, the only reason that he doesn't get in because Laxman has a better temperament and he knows when to play his shots, if any gap opened in the middle order, Yuvi would definitely get in.

I agree about Mail, to be honest, if they lose the test series now, he is definitely going to be the scapegoat for the Pakistani board.

They don't come much unlukier than Simon Jones. Fought his was back from that horiffic knee injury, proved himself to be one of the top fast bowlers in the world in 2005, and has hardly played since. Poor guy.

 

[Punk_Sk8r]

Oh and also whole of Pakistan team is unlucky....

 

[Adarsh]

I don't think that most players who are injured are unlucky. It's due to bad fitness, or bad bowling technique. Eg. Flintoff, or Bond. If you keep getting injured then it's not bad luck - it just means that that aspect of cricket is letting you down.

 

[Sureshot]

Ben Hollioake, Umer Rashid, Manjural Islam, etc.

That's the stupidest thing i've ever heard.

Simon Katich hands down. No competition.

How is it? Flintoff's way of bowling with his ankle position is why he gets injured, and Bond's action probably contributes a lot to injuries. I'm not sure about this but people with more economical action ie McGrath, Clark, Vaas probably don't get injured nearly as much.

Flintoff certainly, with the way he points the left foot the wrong way has been the cause of his ankle injuries.

Bond put in everything when he bowls and such stress on the body would certainly contribute to injury.

The more economical bowlers as Drew mentioned don't put as much effort in regarding pace, so they obviously have less injuries.

Sourav Ganguly: The best captain of india..........got dropped because of off-form in 2005.......made a fairytale comeback nearly two years later............. but good things never last long. Look at him now..................really very very sad.

Sourav Ganguly: The best captain of india, made a fairytale comeback in 2007 but good things never last long. Look at him now..................really very very sad.

What's sad?

He's made a great comeback, is it because he's not captian?
