Bond quits...again...

And right before a series against Australia...now there is a surprise.

Most overrated cricketer ever.

18 tests
87 wickets
22.09 average
38.76 strike rate

Not bad for an overrated cricketer.

Wasn't really overrated. Just difficult to rate as he was never on the field for any prolonged period of time.

See also S. Jones, whose entire reputation is built on two and half Tests in the 05 Ashes.

He did pretty well in SA last time round didn't he?

15 wickets @ 27.

Was a strange series from him, though - including getting dropped for the 4th Test.

Mostly a bit-part player in the five-man bowling unit, he was under-bowled a lot of the time: 1-39 (16 overs out of 110), 1-81 (18 out of 102), 1-36 (13 out of 86), 1-69 (18 out of 142), 2-15 (9 out of 70).

I think Jones was still considered an iffy pick with it all to prove, going into the Ashes. Then he cemented his place. Before never playing again...

Just like his Dad. What are the chances on that happening in a family eh?
