5 one-hit wonders in cricket

#5 Peter Fulton

Fulton could manage to make an impact in only one Test of his career

Somebody who played 23 Test matches is not likely to be called a one-hit wonder but Peter Fulton has a great claim to this category as it was only in one Test that he made an impact.

Fulton had been in and out of the New Zealand team since making his debut in 2006 due to lack of performance. He got his last recall into the Kiwi Test team in 2013 for the three-match home Test series against England.

It was in the last Test of this series that ‘2-meter Peter’, as he is known due to his great height, produced the effort that qualifies him for this list. He scored hundreds in both innings of this Test at Auckland and launched a severe assault on the English bowlers in the later part of his knock in second innings.

After this display, selectors were keen to see him establish himself in the side but there were glaring technical flaws that were exploited by the bowlers. He was persisted with for 10 more matches after the Auckland Test but there wasn’t any notable contribution from him in any of them.

With age not being on his side, Fulton was dropped for good and the selectors decided to move on.
