[aussie_ben91]

Darren Lehnman.

Michael Bevan in Test Cricket aswell.

Yaseer Hameed...........Guy was scoring runs at will and was dropped from side. Do not know but Pakistan has strangest selection policies.

There are a few old cricketers. Those fantastice Saffars who got very little test cricket as they were banned, Vince van der Biji, that Cook fella who waited till his 40th birthday to make his debut, only to get a duck. The guy who's entire test career was over in one ball, and his wife missed the whole thing...

 

[Helpman]

Lance klusener, that run out....

 

[Master Khan]

Shoaib Akthar because he could have been a amazing bowler
but he got banned and injured alot of times

Injuries, fair enough, but being banned isn't bad luck, it's the penalty for breaking rules.

Archie Jackson must have a fair case: cricinfo profile.

Debut for NSW at 17, toured with Australia at 18, test debut at 19, dead at 23.

Graeme Pollock. Would probably have been the best international player post-war if he been born at a different time.

Saqlain Mushtaq...Being such an awesome bowler, he was dropped from the Pakistan squad after the 2003 World Cup and just got 1 test since then.

And for good reason; He doesn't have working knees anymore. He can't take 3 days cricket without struggling let alone an international calender.

I think anyone who knows their cricket has him down as one of the best batsman of his time.

One hell of a record.

Oh yeah, it's just a crying shame he didn't get more of an opportunity on the international scale.

 

[KBC]

Misbah-ul-haq. didn't Get a Change From The First Class Cricket Until He Got a Chance In 1ST T20 WC To Play his First One-Day International In Almost 8-10 Years or so And Mark Lewis(what's his name is)....Never been seen After the 434 Record Match Or the Best One-Day International VS South Africa. He's a Pro Bowler..But, Badly Got Smashed on that Day for 0-114.... Poor Guy..

What about mathew Eliot, south australian opener? He's deserved a spot for over 10 years. Personally the banned south african players and some post players like Graham Pollock and Funny (that is his name right?) Devilliers are the most unlucky players.
