He was my planned pick as well. I did think of taking Ranji as May was likely to be picked, but I've lost him as well.Rotten, May was my planned pick

Yes, Peter May was famous for being the best batsman in the whole world, slaughtering all bowlers with classic drives, cuts and pull shots, and generally pulverising the opposition into dust. Obviously several times better than Donald Bradman by a factor of 10.
He's mine and you can't have him, so there.

I know I'm prone to crap on a bit, and I have shown the following video before - but this square drive by Kanhai off Jeff Thomson is something special. It's very much stuck in my head, and for mine, the best shot I've seen on video;

Kanhai is an absolute gun. I was intending to draft him in this draft (my theme was players I've loved/would have loved), but you got him first.
Woolley was also on my shortlist. Chappell too, but it was a long shot that I'd have gotten him.

Harvey was on my shortlist too, but I got confused and thought that Jager had picked him. Hence Kanhai. In a way I'm glad as he fits into the existing middle-order very well. Besides, numbers wise, there's nothing between the two batsman as the following study indicates;
