    Rahul Dravid was definitely dropped for scoring too slowly for India but he had a great average in ODI's.

    For the ROW XI you'd be looking at Mark Richardson from NZ - very slow scorer - and Jason Krezja the Aussie off-spinner who generally goes - even in Test cricket at about 5.5 per over!

    Honourable mentions to former Kiwi leg-spinner Brooke Walker who had an RPO of nearly 6 in ODI's and England's own Ian 'Nothing Fucking Like Shane Warne' Salisbury would also be pushing for a place as a shithouse spinner.

    David Boon was another who took his time scoring runs.

    KD Mackay not out 62 223 6 0

    Not sure about "Slasher": 62 from 37.1 overs is a too high runrate.....

    The nickname was ironic, I'm pretty sure it was his record that Shane Warne broke for the highest number of Test runs (for Australia) without a Test hundred.

    Imran Tahir conceded 260 runs in a Test for SA a couple of years back without taking a wicket - the worst bowling figures ever.

    Good Lord there is some distinct lack of cricket knowledge being shown here. John Embury would have been a fantastic 20/20 player. He could bowl very tight, flat,off-spinners and was a very unorthodox batsman who could make up his own shots and hit the ball to wherever the gaps were in the field.
    No one on here ever see Chris Tavare bat in a One Day game for Kent? He could smash it all round the park and played under strict orders when playing for England in the early 80's when we had an issue with the No.3 position.
    Geoff Boycott was told he wasn't good enough for ODI's on England's 1979/80 tour to Australia, look up on Cricinfo how he faired when he insisted to be given a chance.

    In the first cricket World Cup,against England Sunil gavaskar scored 36 not out. Not bad you might think but he batted 60 overs and hit one four in 174 balls.
