Draft Thread- Randomised test playing nations

[watson]

Going for a left-arm orthodox good enough to take a 5-fer against Australia (2006), a 6-fer against South Africa (2003), and who averages 19 with the bat. Top score 111 against the West Indies (2004);

And if Rafique starts to 'go for a few' then the captain can always bring on Reid - which was the whole point of selecting Reid in the first place.

[Howe_zat]

Fiery Fred

Not sure he's the best bowler available but I want an outright pacer, and I might not get one of the 4 countries that can provide them again

 

[watson]

Interesting pick there watson

I picked Majid as one of the openers when we selected our CricketWeb ATG Pakistan team and haven't changed my opinion of him due to some great innings in the mid-1970s. Anyone who makes batting against Roberts/Garner/Croft appear easy and graceful is an admirable batsman to have at the top of the order.

I have some good attacking players, and hoping to fill in the gaps with some solid players from ENG/AUS/WI/RSA in the coming rounds if I get lucky.
