Time to address my lack of openers, and at this stage unlikely to do better than Gordan Greenidge (7558 @ 44.72, against some great bowlers) - one of the keystones of the great WIs sides.

Whatever it takes!!!
I went for the bowler first, coz I think having a good bowling line up is more important. I am pretty confident I can find decent openers in the remaining rounds..


The allrounder is a concern though.. :(

Seems like Wes Hall slipped by unnoticed by anyone. :(

It was between him and Roberts for me. Quite surprised that he didn't get picked.

Fine bowler, but balance of my side meant a batsman was needed tho.

Rohan Kanhai can consider himself unfortunate too.

Oh man. I was third in the order and thinking "one of my two strong preferences will make it through to me"... 8-)

Gimme a second.

ay-yi-yi, now faced with the tricky dilemma of selecting equally good candidates for either my second opener or my keeper, with no idea as to what will be available in either specialised role in the last round. I'm going to go for Geoff Boycott on the grounds that I believe that there will be more chance of decent keeping options being available for most of the countries than another batsman who opened, played over 100 tests and scored 8114 runs at 47.72. He should be an interesting contrast with Greenidge. Hopefully we'll go to lunch a few times with the score 115/0 (Greenidge 100*, Boycott 7*) Besides, I'm a sucker for a man who puts team ahead of self. :ph34r:

Gordan Greenidge (7558 @ 44.72)
Geoff Boycott (8114 @ 47.72)
Everton Weekes (4455 @ 58.61)
Mahela Jayawardene (9120 @ 53.96)
Martin Donnelly (582 @ 52.90)
Imran Khan (3807 @ 37.69, 362w @ 22.81)
Kapil Dev (5248 @ 31.05, 434w @ 29.61)

Allan Donald (330w @ 22.25)
Bill O'Reilly (144w @ 22.57)

Yeah we both needed exactly the same guys. A keeper and an opener. Knott is as good as it gets for keepers so it was an easy choice. Hoping for Australia to be the next country now

Again gambling because he doesn't come to mind as an out-and-out bowler (127 test wickets in 58 tests), but I can't go past Wilfred Rhodes.
