Team born in the same year as you

[cpr]

Good side but not enough batting for mine, should bring in Dan Christian or Rory Kleineveldt to strengthen the middle order.

that bowling attack on its day though.....

1990

Jason Roy
Kusal Perera
Kane Williamson
Joe Root
Temba Bavuma
Jos Buttler
James Faulkner
Bhuveneshwar Kumar
Mitchell Starc
Mark Wood
Dane Piedt

12th man Jimmy Neesham

That's actually a decent side. Lots of solid names, one possibly great one. Also, just looking through that, there are some seriously talented stroke makers in there too.

The bowling probably needs a bit of work.

Edit:

1986:

David Warner
Martin Guptill
Usman Khawaja
* Eoin Morgan
Asad Shafiq
Mahmudullah
+ Gary Wilson
Stuart Broad
Neil Wagner

12th: Mitchell McClenaghan

 

[morgieb]

1994:

Ben Duckett
Tom Abell
Babar Azam
Shreyas Iyer
Liton Das
Sanju Samson
Axar Patel
Craig Overton
Daryn Dupavilion
Zia-ul-Haq
Reece Topley

Very weak at this stage but might improve. Bowling hard to pick as a lot of the quicks are of a similar quality.

 

[Furball]

1985

Shikar Dhawan
Upul Tharanga
Azhar Ali
Fawad Alam
Ravi Bopara
BJ Watling
Tim Bresnan
Vernon Philander
Wahab Riaz
Devendra Bishoo
Ajantha Mendis

Other WK candidates:
Peter Nevill
Dinesh Ramdin
Dinesh Karthik
Partiv Patel

Wicketkeepers aside, 1985 seems to have been a year of loads of good First Class players but very few Test quality players.
