Top 10 forgettable debuts in Test cricket

6. Shahadat Hossain:

One of the better fast bowlers that Bangladesh has produced, Shahadat had a forgettable debut against England. He bowled just 12 overs and was clobbered for 101 runs. England went on to win the match by an innings, sparing him the 2^nd innings blushes. He has had a reasonably good career with 67 wickets from 31 matches since then. However, marred by injuries, he has fallen out of the Bangladesh Cricket Board’s favour.

7. Shane Warne:

Yes, the greatest leg-spinner in the history of Test Cricket had a horrendous start to his career. His debut came in 1991-92 against India. Indian batsmen relished the sight of a spinner, and Warne was smashed to all parts of the ground. His figures were 45-7-150-1 at the end of the Indian innings. Hardly could have anyone imagined at that point of time that “the blonde who got bludgeoned”, will turn out to be one of Wisden’s Five Cricketers of the 20^th Century.
