Five commentators who did not have very good international careers

#1 David Lloyd

David Lloyd's international career was a pale shadow of his First-Class one

From an all-rounder to an umpire to a coach and now a commentator, David Lloyd has done it all.

In a domestic career spanning almost two decades, Lloyd scored 19,269 First-Class runs that included 93 fifties and 38 centuries. In List-A, Bumble managed 7761 runs with 44 fifties and 7 centuries. His brilliant performances for Lancashire earned him a call-up to the ODI team in 1973 where he scored 8 on his debut against West Indies.

He made his Test debut a year later against India at Lord’s where he scored 46. In the following match at Edgbaston, he scored a mammoth 214 which was instrumental in England winning the match and the series, with Lloyd ending with a batting average of 260.

Lloyd’s performances in the ODI series weren't too eye-catching but he was still selected for the series against Pakistan which was scheduled to take place a few days later.

Lloyd had a disastrous Test series, scoring 92 runs in four innings. His performance in the first ODI though was brilliant as he scored 116 but it was followed by 4 in the second ODI.

His performance in the Ashes in 1975 was pretty abysmal and an injury resulted in him being dropped and never playing Test cricket again. Lloyd played two more ODIs, one in 1978 and the other in 1980 where he broke his arm after facing 8 balls. He never played another match for England.

After his retirement, Lloyd became an umpire in domestic cricket before turning to coaching. Bumble coached England from 1996-1999, helping them to many brilliant victories. Following the 1999 World Cup, Lloyd stepped down and joined Sky Sports as a commentator. He also published an autobiography: Anything but Murder where he took a dig at a few England players including Graham Thorpe, Nasser Hussain, and Andrew Caddick.
