Aye, I intend for my keeper to be my final pick. Or my spinner. Really, there are so many good ones left

 

[weeman27bob]

I think the thing with keepers/spinners is that there's lots of good ones, but only a few "very" good ones, which have pretty much all gone already.

 

[marc71178]

Yes but then there's the really poor ones!

 

[Himannv]

I think it's my turn.

Peter Pollock if so.

9. Geoff Griffin took a hat-trick for South Africa in his second Test at Lord's. Why didn't he play Tests again? ~ Chucking

Disappointed my answer of "He was actually a woman" wasn't correct...

[Agent Nationaux]

What about that video Robelinda had of Trueman congratulating Lillee for surpassing his record. I have been cheated.

And you didn't accept my answer for question 1. Eric Hollies.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Oops, I must have doubled my guess for the tie breaker.

 

[Spikey]

3. Which county's ground features in a poem by John Arlott? ~ Worcestershire (New Road)

Disappointing to know the one wild guess I submit and is actually correct more or less means nothing

Geoff Boycott
Gordon Greenidge
Adam Gilchrist
Ian Botham

Clarrie Grimmitt

Pretty solid list of all time greats
