History of cricket has often witnessed the journey of many one match wonders. These cricketers performed brilliantly in one single occasion and then never really could produce significant consistent showings in the future. You may call them destiny’s favourites but they proved their worth in the domestic stages to be called for the respective international sides.

Some tried just once and some kept on trying to reestablish till the last chance given. While a lot of them made use of the chances a lot later, many got dropped eventually after flattering to deceive. Here we are listing 5 such players from 5 different countries who were given numerous chances to make it bigger but they failed to utilise those opportunities wisely.

Stuart Binny was considered to be a genuine all-rounder when he was picked by the selectors for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bbl-2018-19-5-indian-players-who-can-play-in-the-tournament-if-allowed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian</a> cricket team. But apart from a couple of good performances, this Karnataka all-rounder never really produced anything significant in the international stage. In his 23 international games, he has scored around 450 runs and picked up 24 wickets. But Binny’s inclusion cannot be termed as the result of nepotism because in those few appearances he recorded the best ODI bowling figure for India.

He took 6 wickets for just 4 runs in 2014 against Bangladesh. He was a surprise inclusion for the Test series in England in 2014 but couldn’t prove himself. In 2016, in a T20 match against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bangladesh-vs-windies-2nd-odi-match-prediction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Windies</a>, Evin Lewis hit him for 5 sixes in a row which kind of ended his limited-overs international career as well.

The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/south-africa-vs-pakistan-pcb-announces-the-16-man-squad-for-the-test-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">South African</a> cricketer became the talk of the town after smashing the fastest Twenty 20 international hundred against New Zealand in 2012.  It was just his second international appearance and he hit 117 in 45 balls with 13 sixes. But that was all! Levi, who was deemed to be the next big thing in the shortest format was just a ‘one-ton wonder’ of cricket.  The bowlers discovered his weakness post that innings and Richard Levi could never flourish after that.

He was predominantly a leg-side batsman and couldn&#8217;t play spin bowling effectively. He played total 13 matches to produce only 236 runs with that massive ton in one single match. In those few matches, he couldn’t rectify himself and kept on scoring on the on- side which ultimately ended his career as an international South African player.

Ricardo Powell was a Jamaican cricketer who began his international cricket career at the age of 20. After topping the Jamaican averages in the 1999 Busta Cup, it was just a matter of time that he was selected in the Windies cricket team. Powell quickly became headlines after scoring 124 from 93 balls by hitting 8 sixes against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/5-indian-players-who-might-never-play-international-cricket-again/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India</a> which was a Windies cricket record. He was the youngest Windies cricketer to score an ODI ton.

His 2000 ODI runs came at a strike rate of 96.66, which is the highest by a Windies player with more than 1000 ODI runs. But despite this magnificent start, he couldn’t continue to make it bigger. He soon became a One Day specialist and was never considered seriously for Test matches after his single test appearance in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/new-zealand-vs-sri-lanka-nzc-announces-the-13-man-squad-for-the-first-test/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Zealand</a>.

The worst part was when he lost his reputation as a limited-overs specialist and struggled to retain place even in the One Day side. His run of low scores and consistency made him irregular in One Day matches. Finally, he decided to take a break in 2006-07 and never came back to the arena of cricket.

Jason Krejza was chosen ahead of Stuart Clark for the deciding Test match against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bbl-2018-19-5-indian-players-who-can-play-in-the-tournament-if-allowed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India</a> in Nagpur in 2008 and had an impressive debut. He took 8 wickets and became one of very few bowlers to have taken 8 or more wickets in an innings of a Test match. At the same time, he took those wickets for 215 runs and conceded more runs than anyone else. Ultimately, he took total 12 wickets in his debut match for 358 runs.

Kreza was given preference majorly due to his solid showing for his state Tasmania, having picked 18 wickets at 47.11 from 7 matches.  He was then dropped for the next Test match against New Zealand in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/australia-vs-india-tim-paine-backs-mitchell-starc-despite-his-sub-standard-performance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Australia</a> as the pitch would prefer the seamers. He was recalled in the next Test match but missed it due to injury and eventually played the first Test in Australia against South Africa which was his second and last test match.

Jason Kreza made his ODI debut in 2011 against England in Perth. This was because of the unavailability of the spinners, Nathan Hauritz and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-sympathises-with-steve-smith-and-david-warner/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Steve Smith</a>. He took two wickets and scored 6 in his first one-day appearance. Jason was also named in the Australian squad for 2011 World Cup.

Peter Fulton, Famously knows as &#8220;Two-Metre Peter&#8221; made his mark in first-class cricket when he scored 301 not out for Canterbury against Auckland in March 2003. It was a matter of time for him to get selected for representing New Zealand in international cricket. Fulton made his one-day international debut against Bangladesh in 2004 followed by his test debut in 2006.

After being overlooked for New Zealand&#8217;s initial World Cup matches in 2007, Fulton got his chance when Lou Vincent flew home. Fulton grabbed the chance and became the top scorer of New Zealand team three times, including 62 against India. He finished the tournament as the third highest scorer of his side with 297 at 37.12. Thereafter, a knee injury and inconsistent form kept him out of the national side, until he returned with a bang in 2013.

His first stint in Test wasn’t that impressive and so made the most when he returned to international cricket. In the three-Test home series against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ben-stokes-and-alex-hales-fined-but-available-for-england-selection/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">England</a>, Fulton scored centuries in each innings of the third test. This series reestablished his credentials in the true sense as before this Fulton’s highest test score was just 75 in 19 tests innings.

Peter Fulton, Famously knows as &#8220;Two-Metre Peter&#8221; made his mark in first-class cricket when he scored 301 not out for Canterbury against Auckland in March 2003. It was a matter of time for him to get selected for representing New Zealand in international cricket. Fulton made his one-day international debut against Bangladesh in 2004 followed by his test debut in 2006.
After being overlooked for New Zealand&#8217;s initial World Cup matches in 2007, Fulton got his chance when Lou Vincent flew home. Fulton grabbed the chance and became the top scorer of New Zealand team three times, including 62 against India. He finished the tournament as the third highest scorer of his side with 297 at 37.12. Thereafter, a knee injury and inconsistent form kept him out of the national side, until he returned with a bang in 2013.
His first stint in Test wasn’t that impressive and so made the most when he returned to international cricket. In the three-Test home series against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ben-stokes-and-alex-hales-fined-but-available-for-england-selection/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">England</a>, Fulton scored centuries in each innings of the third test. This series reestablished his credentials in the true sense as before this Fulton’s highest test score was just 75 in 19 tests innings.
