Surely Mick Malone qualifies mention as an allrounder example of a One-Test wonder "taking five for 63 in England’s first innings with his medium-fast high action and then scoring 46 as a tailender" in his only test in 1977. Djw3355 ( talk) 02:58, 5 January 2012 (UTC) reply

If the phrase One-Test Wonder derives from One-Hit Wonder, then surely it should refer to those who achieved the pinnacle of playing test cricket - but only once. So, it should not include anyone who played more than one test. Equally, it should not include anyone with solitary ODI appearances. WillE ( talk) 16:18, 15 September 2012 (UTC) reply

I'll go further and say this article should be deleted. No evidence is presented that the term is in widespread use. (The only references appear to be a single cricinfo article, and a reader's letter to the BBC). Adpete ( talk) 05:43, 6 October 2012 (UTC) reply

I have added some citations to show notability. – Fayenatic L ondon 16:37, 29 April 2013 (UTC) reply

See Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 March 30#Category:One-Test wonders for suggestions on making a useful list.

I also suggest making separate lists for these meanings:

1. Only one Test
2. Only one ODI, which (despite WillE's comment above) is clearly a closely-related idea
3. More than one Test but only performed well once

Here is the list of pages that were removed from the deleted category. – Fayenatic L ondon 21:07, 29 April 2013 (UTC) reply

I might be missing something, but I can't reconcile the first two statements with the third:

"Andy Ganteaume, who scored 112 for the West Indies in his only Test innings in 1948, and so has the highest test batting average of all time.[5] 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;[6] 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.[7]" Alanobrien ( talk) 09:26, 12 February 2016 (UTC) reply

Some original research methinks. Fixed. AIRcorn  (talk) 09:15, 21 November 2016 (UTC) reply
