WORST Australian Test XI ever.

[Failed Creation]

I thought (if it hasn't already been done) this might be a fun idea. It can consist of any player who has played at least 1 Test, not just one side of a particular era.

I'll start.

FC2's F**ked Up XI

Wayne N. Phillips
Mike Veletta
Rob Quiney
Dirk Wellham (c)
Trevor Chappell
Glenn Maxwell
Shaun Young
Greg Dyer (wk, cheating prick)
Paul Wilson
Chris Matthews
Bryce McGain

dan cullen would be 12th?

wally edwards, and ken eastwood would give waggy a fight for an opening spot

I was torn between Phillips and Eastwood for an opening spot, as they both came in under similar circumstances (eg. replacing a long-standing, respected member of the side).

Needs more Scott Muller

[GWW]

Jim Higgs can be 12th man for his proficiency in fielding.

Needs more Scott Muller

I forgot about him... He'd be in the squad, that's for sure.

Roy Park - one test. Faced one ball, duck.
Bowled one over, hit for nine runs.
His wife apparently missed his innings, dropping her knitting as he faced up.

I think if you go back to the very earliest sides, there were some shocking selections.

There was a bloke selected as a wicketkeeper who they only found out he'd never kept before once they were on the boat.

Just noticed this on Wiki:

Check out Australia's current Test captain. You'll find it in the box on the right hand side.

His name was Kenneth Burn - a Tasmanian.
Two Tests.

Sorry, FC but he trumps Greg Dyer.

Good old Wikipedia! That's gold

[Rik E Boy]

Wellham scored a century on debut so surely there are others for his spot.

Good call.

We could make it a collaborative effort, with the only criteria being that the lineup contains no players who have scored Test centuries or taken 5 wickets in an innings at Test level.

Fire away.

Casson?

Peter Mcintyre, Greg Campbell, Shaun Young

I'd say McIntyre wasn't bad for a 3rd or 4th choice spinner at the time... at least they had depth back then.

I'd be happy with 1 test wicket being Sachin Tendulkar

Mark Taylor also has a test wicket
