bah! Was just starting to think that George would slip all the way to me.

Still Sir Everton Weekes (4455 @ 58.61) is a more than decent fall-back position.

For the last three rounds, we'll do a random draw of countries. To prevent anyone being too harshly disadvantaged should they get a low draw on one of the weaker countries, I'll make the pool that will selected from:
Australia
England
WI
SA
India/NZ
Pak/SL

People happy with that?

 

[Himannv]

NZ/IND/PAK/SL all in one group I reckon :P

[Cevno]

Apologies for that.

I wanted to pick Gibbs but as he went before wanted to reassess my options.

I will go for Jeffrey Dujon .

A very decent average of 31 and a very good keeper.Also never participated in a losing team in a series. Really wanted a full time keeper.

 

[Somerset]

Given I've only got Lohmann and Sobers as genuine bowling options so far, I'm still going to select Sir Frank Worrell (I don't think hes been chosen yet?) ahead of a fast bowling option, and then bank on getting a few quality bowlers in the last two rounds. It means going into matches with only four main bowlers and the part-time option offered by Worrell but its a risk worth taking IMO.

Glenn Turner
Vijay Hazare
Graeme Pollock
Mohammad Yousuf
Sir Frank Worrell
Thilan Samaraweera
Sir Garfield Sobers
Adam Gilchrist

George Lohmann

[Himannv]

Gilchrist at 8?? Wow.
