    I was at Seddon Park when Wilson hit an unbeaten 44 off 28 balls to win that ODI against Aust. A small sample size, but his batting was better than his bowling.

    Apologies if this has been mentioned but 2015 Milner-Skudder was an absolute freak.

    Really ? For once in a conversation with us two I’m being serious….I mean Spencer who played inside him had much freakier skills overall.

    First class stats indicate otherwise.

    If I went by that logic I’d say the same about Tim Southee based on his 77 not out against England.

    Wilson looked to be a really good pace bowler who could bat a fair bit at the top level but we’ll never know for sure.

    Even Lucky Luke had freakier skills.

    Because he's a very strange individual.

    lol, I thought it was a joke because of one season Milner-Skudder gets mentioned, Im sorry even mentioning either in the context of some of these other greatest of the game freaks seems funny

    Shane Williams. A guy that had a storied career (top Welsh try scorer in 6N and RWC, Lion, 6N winner) to be 5 foot 7 in an era of big physical players is a testament to his toughness

    His running metres were in the negatives when he marked Rico Gear though

    Quite a big difference between a discussion about the games greats & rugby freaks.

    there is and perhaps I was not clear, I dont think you can compare either of the two mentioned with the super freaks of Lomu, Cullen as neither were freakish in comparison in my mind

    In the forwards think it would be hard to beat Michael Jones 1987 vintage: no less than John Reason described as the best rugby player he'd ever seen.
