Scott " cant throw , cant bowl " Muller . Even produced a song about him. Thats got to place him right up there with the biggest dud of all.

Current dud is Andrew " Ronald " McDonald. Tries hard but is way out of his league, and he is in the side as a batsman :lol:

He couldnt possibly bat any higher.

He did manage to knock up one record in his last test ever test match. Going for 4 consecutive sixes.

McDonald has taken some handy wickets throughout the series, and despite his batting not really being up to scratch, i don't think you could put him in McGain's company.

earlier sentiments suggest that its a bit unfair to label someone a dud after 1-5 tests no matter how obvious it may be that the player is out of his league.

I will however agree with whoever nominated Geoff Marsh.
Over a long period of time he is the biggest dud to play for australia.
Closely followed by Graeme Wood and John Dyson.

I will always agree with REB that Brad Hodge is NOT test standard and I will always agree with DUTCHY that SImon Katich is garbage at that level too.

IIRC Hodge has hit an unbeaten double century for Australia. Surely he will go to the Ashes. Best backup bat we have. Katich is not garbage. He is top class.

Rightly or wrongly Hodge is out of contention to ever be involved at international level again.
