Who do you think is the unluckiest player in the world? I think Brad Haddin because he's a superb player but never gets a chance because of Gilly.
 
^^ yea thru that, when he is 100% fit he is easily one of he best in the world if not the best pace bowler but he doesnt have any luck at all.
 
hussey cause he's old right now and didn't get a chance earlier in his career , but he's not that unlucky atleast he plays for them now.
 
South African team of 92-93. Most of them were old guys and could not play much cricket. They had awsome side then.
 
Brian Lara. You could understand him being excited, as the West Indies were the best country at cricket when he was making his way into the side, and they were probably the best side ever. And then, once he has cracked the side, he realises everybody has gone or is going and he's in one of the worst sides going around.

Were u sleeping in 90's. He played his most younger years in good west indies side. And why is he unlucky even if he played in worst side.
Tendulkar was only batsmen we had in early ninties. He was not unlucky.

It goes without saying that Lara would've gotten in any team in the world at any stage regardless of who was in that team already. So selection wasn't really an issue for him. But getting into the side when they were fantastic and watching his country's standing in cricket crumble to being the minnows that they are now would've been hard.

Tendulkar didn't really need luck in the nineties, he was that good. Some of the stuff he did while still being a teenager astonishes me.
 
There would be a strong case for Stuart MacGill. With a record like he has he would be a regular for many countries. Unlucky that he was around the same time Warne was.

Darren Lehmann aswell.
 
Dean Headley, was given a central contract in 1999 but had to retire, only months after that spell at Melbourne.
