The All Australian Worst Team of the 80's, 90's and 00's!
After initially having doubts, I've warmed to the concept quite a bit. Here's my selections:

Stuey Law
Michael Di Venuto
Jimmy Maher
'Wags' Velletta
Greg Ritchie
Martin Love (Couldn't think of anybody worse...)
Phil Emery
Simon Cook
Peter McIntyre
Gavin Robertson
Scott 'Can't Bowl, Can't Throw' Muller

I could go on with teh bowlers, but it's hard finding real dud batsmen

Also a Test Average of 35, which I wouldn't mind. Blewett from memory scored a test double century; wouldn't put him in the Worst Australian side. As for Dirk Wellham, I actually thought he was a glovesman so didn't put him in.

Seamer; Berry never played for the Australian team so I don't think he can be in there. Besides, he was twice the glovesman Gilchrist is and ever will be. In the ING Cup he stood up to the likes of Inness, Harwood and Lewis and took some ripper catches. If only he had've averaged 25-30 with the bat.
