Who am I

I have the same surname as bowling great, yet I was never great nor did I play for the same country as he did.
I played a handful of tests and ODI's with a test average above 40.
I was an All-rounder yet my path was limited due to the emergence of one my country's finest all rounders.

Who am I?
