I dont really like this thread or the naming of it anyway considering anyone who plays for the country or state are clearly not duds.

But Cameron White is going the right way about getting my vote..

Paul "Blocker" Wilson was a much better bowler than guys like Anthony Stuart, Scott Muller, Brett Dorey etc.

I think Blocker Wilson is a first-class umpire now, I've seen him on TV doing a few Ford Ranger Cup games anyway.

Nah, not having this. Shane Lee was an excellent cricketer who suffered a 5hitload of injuries and didn't exactly get many opportunites to shine. If he had as many opportunities as Cameron White he would done well IMO.

Ha, I wouldn't mind having a ODI record that boasts a batting average of 37.3 at a S/R of 96.55 and a bowling average of 13. I think there may be worse around. I think they are referring to ability not size when they asked "BIGGEST DUD".

Well, Cossie wouldn't win that then.
There's a bloke at the turn of the century who stands tall in that department on the cricket field.
His name: Warwick Armstrong, known as The Big Ship (6 foot 3 inches – 1.9 m tall and 21 stones – 133 kg or 294 lb)

He was only that big real late in his career, into his 40s. Prior to that he was quite slim and athletic and played VFL football for South Melbourne.
