With the Christmas break upcoming, I might be away from CW for one or two days.

I have posted a couple of players in order of preference on my VM. If someone could copy my selection across once Morgie has made his move it would be much appreciated.

Eyes not spreadsheets
Robert Charles Russell.

Teams unbalanced anyway with 3 frontline bowlers so may as well get the best glovesman of the era to ensure he holds onto any chances.

Sorry for the hold up, festivites and all that.

Going to ignore some very heavy runs scorers and go for a man I seem to get in every draft: Kevin Pietersen. Could not resist the attacking combination it gives my middle order. So a final side of:

1.Arthur Shrewsbury
2.Bill Woodfull
3.Charles Macartney
4.Rohan Kanhai
5.Kevin Pietersen
6.Doug Walters
7.Adam Gilchrist
8.Frank Foster
9.Malcolm Marshall
10.Fred Trueman
11.Bill O'Reilly

12. Albert Trott

Batting may not have as many greats as other sides but has an awful lot of power and depth (a player with a tripple century in first class cricket at 8), Gilchrist a massive bonus. Love the bowling with 3 of the very best.

Probably fair to describe the bowling as four of the very best
