[weldone]

Oh boy! Am I confused between two all-time greats or what?!

 

[kingkallis]

Pick one and share the other one with me

 

[Shri]

Oh snap! An absolute shocker available. Would pay to get him.

 

[weldone]

Well , let me go with the man because of whom Bradman got the name 'White Headley', lol. George Headley, one of the best batsmen left at this stage.

Scorecard: 5th Test: Australia v West Indies at Sydney, Feb 27-Mar 4, 1931 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

West Indies had beaten Australia in the last test of the away series, a win that was almost like a win for Bangladesh against the likes of South Africa today (though West Indies at that time was a slightly better side than Bangladesh of today, mainly because of Headley). I guess, after winning the first 4 tests Bradman, Grimmett, Ponsford and the rest of Woodfull's team became a bit tired, disinterested and complacent. Headley scored his 2nd century of the series (this was probably the 2nd or 3rd series in his career), and West Indies won this quite comprehensively.

Team so far:
George Headley
Adam Gilchrist+

 

[weldone]

Oh snap! An absolute shocker available. Would pay to get him.

Are you talking about the other great I considered? Or, the one I picked?

 

[kingkallis]

Are you talking about the other great I considered? Or, the one I picked?

Nop, he is talking about several shockers who are still available!

 

[NUFAN]

The great George Headley played against England heaps!

To form part of my bowling attack with Murali, I've gone for another Cricketer who has held the record for most Test wickets of all time at one point, The real Freddie..

Fred Trueman.

[Himannv]

Bah, was eying Trueman for a while. Good pick.

[NUFAN]

Bah, was eying Trueman for a while. Good pick.

Yeah I think he was the obvious choice for me really as I wanted a quality quick! Headley played with/against some fantastic batsman though.

Now that we are all through 2 rounds, it's awesome to see so many amazing Cricketers chosen.

 

[pskov]

Clyde Walcott

1st Test: England v West Indies at Birmingham, May 30-Jun 4, 1957 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

One of the finest batsmen in history and an option to take the gloves if necessary.

Gavaskar
Walcott
Warne

 

[kingkallis]

Next 3 - Jamee, Marcuss, GI Joe

 

[NUFAN]

Clyde Walcott

1st Test: England v West Indies at Birmingham, May 30-Jun 4, 1957 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

One of the finest batsmen in history and an option to take the gloves if necessary.

Gavaskar
Walcott
Warne

Walcott played in that same Test match that Trueman played in where I posted the link. He's not a valid pick at the moment.

Clyde Walcott

1st Test: England v West Indies at Birmingham, May 30-Jun 4, 1957 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

Gavaskar
Walcott
Warne

Ouch! Find another scorecard mate!

 

[pskov]

Hmm, I checked and obviously missed him. Maybe wishful thinking....

Gimmie two minutes.

 

[pskov]

Alan Davidson

1st Test: England v Australia at Birmingham, Jun 8-13, 1961 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

Arguably the greatest left arm seamer ever and an excellent lower order batsman. Him at 8 and Warne at 9 looks good to me.

1. Sunil Gavaskar
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8. Alan Davidson
9. Shane Warne
10.
11.
