- One-Test_wonder abstract "In cricket, a one-Test wonder is usually a cricketer who is only selected for one Test match during his career and never represents his country again (not necessarily due to poor performance).Examples include Andy Ganteaume, who scored 112 for the West Indies in his only Test innings in 1948. The term may derive from "one-hit wonder", which is used to describe singers who only have one hit song.Players who are picked for only one Test are often bowlers: batsmen tend to be given a longer run to establish themselves at Test level. One-Test wonders also tend to be picked for a home series, as a stop-gap replacement. As of September 2006, there had been 377 one-Test wonders. Many were unlucky never to be picked again: in addition to Ganteaume, Rodney Redmond is the only other player to have scored a century in his only Test, scoring 107 and 56 while opening the batting for New Zealand in 1973; West Indian Vic Stollmeyer, brother of Jeff Stollmeyer, is the only player to have recorded a score in the 90s in his only Test; no other one-Test wonder has scored more than 80. Stuart Law scored 54 not out in his only Test innings for Australia, leaving him without a Test average. Gobo Ashley took 7 for 95 for South Africa in the first innings of his single Test in 1889, and Charles Marriott recorded match figures of 11 for 96 (5 for 37 and 6 for 59) in his only match for England in 1933. No other bowler has taken more than five wickets in an innings, or ten wickets in the match, in their only Test. Among wicket-keepers, Indian player Rajindernath made four stumpings in his only Test, but was not called on to bat.About one in eight Test cricketers are only picked once. Occasionally, one-Test wonders have been recalled to Test cricket after a gap of several years. The most recent example was Ryan Sidebottom, who was recalled for his second Test in 2007 after his debut in 2001. Coincidentally his father, Arnie Sidebottom, was a one-Test wonder.Perhaps one of the most recent and surprising one-Test wonders is Darren Pattinson who played a single test for England against a touring South Africa in 2008. His brother James Pattinson has gone on to have a successful Test career with Australia making his debut in 2011.Fourteen one-Test wonders have also played in a single One Day International for their team. Kim Barnett is the only batsman to have scored more than 55, and David Lawrence is the only bowler to have taken four or more wickets, in their only ODI (both for England).More rarely, the term may refer to a player who has played in more than one Test, but was very successful only once. Examples include the bowlers India's Narendra Hirwani, and Australia's Bob Massie, both of whom took eight wickets in each innings of their debut matches, but then failed to live up to their early promise.The term is also used in rugby.".
