International Captain
This may have been done before, but a few new names have entered the mix since then perhaps. The idea for this came to me when I was reminded that former Surrey paceman Matt Nicholson played once for Australia, against Stewart's team in 1998-99. Can we get a decent one caps side for each of the main sides? I won't offer one for England, but personally I would want to see the likes of Alan Wells, Alan Butcher and Charlie Parker in there. Tempted to pick Alan Jones as well, but it wasn't an official Test and too many Alans will make it a bit like the Pythons' 'Bruces' sketch. A surprising number of keepers to choose from as well if you go back far enough; I imagine that England have more of these players than all other teams combined.
The exercise can be repeated for ODIs as well of course (Wells qualifies for both teams). Without giving too much away, some pretty handy players only played in one limited-overs international.
Oh and if someone could alter the title to 'one cap wonders' I think it would read better - thanks.
