[honestbharani]

I am feeling lucky

 

[watson]

Everyone is now post 1973, so I'm going to complete my attack with Jeff Thomson.

01. Andy Sandham (1921 - 1930)
02. Plum Warner (1909 -1912)
03. Everton Weekes (1948 - 1958)
04. Hon. Lionel Tennyson * (1913 - 1921)
05.
06. Albert Trott (1895 - 1909)
07. Ray Illingworth (1958 - 1973)
08. Gubby Allen (1930 - 1948)
09. Tiger Smith + (1912 - 1913)
10. Charles Turner (1887 - 1895)
11. Jeff Thomson (1973 - 1985)


Would have liked Hadlee of course but OS unexpectedly pulled Dowe out of the bag at the last minute to take him to 1973. Still, it's an excellent attack if not an ATG one. Had no idea what Albert Trott bowled (average = 15), but apparently he was one of those 19th century 'spin-swerve' bowlers like Noble.

 

[jimmy101]

Well, I'm screwed. I mean, I've been screwed for a long time but now I realize my team is going to be too batsman heavy.
