What a selection - no room for Colin Cowdrey, Tom Graveney or Hugh Tayfield - Wes Hall sorely exercised my mind and doubtless there are others but in the end I took the view there will be plenty of decent quicks to come but I may not get another opportunity to pick a batter as good as

Vijay Hazare

Laker was selected mate. It'd be a travesty if he wasn't

Hugh Tayfield in place of Laker in that XI

And John Waite could be a great candidate for a keeper-batsman. I would've picked him if I didn't get Lindsay.

this round has so many good players too.

Imran Khan is gone and I think by the time my turn comes around that other great bowling all rounder will be gone too

Should pick a batsman, but I need an allrounder and I'm not going to get one as good as Sir Ian Botham in the final rounds.

Got to love a round when quite possibly the greatest fast bowler of them all is not in the first 3 picks
