Mark Lathwell (who knows if he'd have made it as a cricketer if he'd had a bit longer at Somerset to work out how to bat)
Aftab Habib (looked as out of his depth as anyone I've ever seen)
Fred Grace (presumably picked for the family connection, made a pair in his only test, only averaged 25 in first class cricket)
Chris Cowdrey * (his pick as captain seemed to be down to being Peter May's godson, and the selectors still thinking that we were in the era of gentlemen and players)
Ivo Bligh (no "honourables" here, only in the team cos he was picking it)
George Studd (much the lesser of the Studd brothers, I think one of the Stud brothers might have made a better fist of a cricket career)
Gavin Hamilton (no runs, no wickets, think he dropped a catch too)
Richard Blakey + (barely played county cricket after his test adventure)
Chris Schofield (England desperate for a leg spinner, any leg spinner, alight on Schofield who after failing to take a wicket in two tests swiftly dropped to playing minor counties cricket, as a batsman)
Jonathan Agnew (test bowling average 93, to be born in mind when he makes criticisms from the press box)
Jimmy Ormond (even if he was the best player in his family)
