you might aswell take that asterix from his name. imo i think he will stay a one test player.

Yeah he's fortunate to even be getting the odd game for the Jellybacks let alone ever playing for Australia again in the serious stuff.

I doubt Casson will get another game too.....

Im starting to think that too. He has been messed around a bit by the Australian selectors. I would have liked to see them stick with him as our main Spin Option for the long term.

The man responsible for the Centenary Test in 1977.

AH, was he on the MCC (Melb) board?
Where does your info on this come from?

cricket the 70s the ABC documentary and Mike Cowards book...

president of teh MCC IIRC or at least a committee member with a strong sense of history...

Wayne Phillips (Vic) was the one that I immediately thought of when i saw this thread.

Shaun Young would nearly qualify as a Bradbury

Mike Whitney's debut was in similar circumstances.

At the beginning of the ABC documentary on the Centenary Test, they have a quick grab from Hans Ebeling. I think he was the secretary of the Melbourne Cricket Club. He said it was 1973 and he was researching something else when he realised it was nearly 100 years from the First Test Match, so he decided they should do something about it.

Cheers, I think our one test wonders deserve a bit more recognition.
They've done something we all dream of.
I'll look into Hans' history.

The funny part of that was SA's Wayne Phillips jokingly rang the ACB and asked what time he should be at the game ... they took him seriously and didn't know how to break it to him

But got another go

Flip has form in this area, he also nominated for the AFL draft at one stage, before there was criteria to meet prior to registration.

That was the test where AB refused to go (at first) after learning that Mark Waugh and his good mate Geoff Marsh had been dropped after poor form in the first 4 tests of the summer v India.

- AB relented
- Geoff Marsh never played for Aust again
- Mark Waugh, having replaced his brother in the test side the season before, came back and went on to much bigger things (as did his brother!)
- Tom Moody was the other player who came into the side and held his spot through the following series in Sri Lanka, then left the test side for good

Was it Geoff Marsh's double that played in the world Cup after that Hondo???

But you're right he never played Test cricket again...

That's true, and as far as I know he still has the letter of acceptance framed behind his bar at home. He only nominated to get a letter of rejection from the AFL, but he ended up getting a letter accepting him into the draft. Nobody can work out why because his letter to the AFL was the most ridiculous application of all time ... but the AFL took it seriously

It's interesting to see who has played a handfull of games also (2-6)
Bracken, Brad Williams (who?), Martin Love, Scott Muller, Gavin Robertson, Simon Cook, Jo Angel
