Following on from a previous post about forgotten players, I thought I would try and find Australia's worst ever test XI. This had to be a team that actually took to the field, not just a combination of one-hit wonders and undeserving test caps. The following side played against New Zealand in the Second Test of the 1985/86 season at the SCG, and is my nomination for the weakest Australian side of all-time. It was lacking some players following the South African rebel tours, but nonetheless, it is still pretty poor.
Wayne Phillips
Robbie Kerr
David Boon
Allan Border
Greg Ritchie
David Hookes
Greg Matthews
Simon O'Donnell
Ray Bright
Dave Gilbert
Bob Holland
Any team that has Simon O'Donnell and Dave Gilbert opening the bowling is hardly going to frighten any opposition teams. And the funniest part about this - Australia actually won the test with this lineup, but lost the series 2-1.
The other contendors for the crown would have included the 1912 team captained by Syd Gregory that lacked the Big 6 referred to in my previous post, and also the 'official' teams from the Packer years.

I do not leave a response, however I looked
at a few of the responses on "Australia's Worst Ever Test XI".
I do have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind. Could it be simply me or does it appear like a few of the responses look like they are written by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting on other online sites, I would like to keep up with you. Could you post a list of the complete urls of your public pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
