Year in Review: Flop Test XI of the year 2013

Steven Finn (England)

Steven Finn

Matches – 6

Wickets – 20

Average – 33.50

BBI – 6/125

SR – 53.7

He may not fill the criteria of at least 7 matches in the year, but I was compelled to include him in this list because of his below average performances. ICC Emerging Player of the Year 2010 found it extremely difficult to make his mark in the longest format of the game this year so much so that he was left out of the team for the Ashes.

Of the six matches he played, five have been against New Zealand where he bowled 154.1 overs at a strike rate of 51.3. In the only Test against Australia in home soil, he bagged two scalps despite bowling his heart out – an effort that did the least to flatter his statistics.
