How did he ever get in a squad in the first place?

Surely not a David Graveney "home" pick?

Surely not...

I'd forgotten some of the absolute shockers selected to spin for England. Blackwell played against India! As a spinner! Unbelievable.

And Jamie Dalrymple. What short arms he had.

Gawd, only the emboldened ones were even slightly all right.

Don't think Martyn Ball ever got a game, did he?

Ian Blackwell's missing from your list.

And Shaun Udal?

Yep. Both on the same tour of India. What must they have thought of us?

Then again, they allowed Udal to win a Test against them, so we're about 50-50 in the shame stakes.
