Ian Salisbury - worst Test bowler ever!
The "It Figures" blog is something that people like me often find really interesting but I doubt that Ian Salisbury will enjoy reading this - he is statistically the worst ever specialist Test bowler it would seem. It seems to reflect England's obsession with leg-spin at the time, following Warne's success, and the career of Chris Schofield is another impacted by that obsession. Fortunately for Schofield, he didn't play enough Tests to qualify for this analysis.
Note the "worst team ever", minus a keeper, at the bottom of the post, is captained by Mike Brearley, who in a separate piece of It Figures analysis was deemed to be the best England captain after personal performance had been taken out. of the equation.

I wouldn't have know that he was officially the worst of all time without the stats but his poorness was pretty apparent. And no wonder - he's got small hands, so why did anyone ever think he could bowl leggies anyway ?
