Mike Whitney. Similar story to Pattinson. Except Whiteny went on to play for Australia a few more times. Pattinson may wind up being a few-Tests wonder.

At least the Whitney selection had the logic of being a cost cutting selection. Much like Shaun Young.

Shaun Young's selection also had the great outcome that Shane Lee didn't get a Baggy Green.

Bruce Reid had played very few FC games when he was called up to play his first Test
