So the Yorkshire X is

Len Hutton
Geoff Boycott
Herbert Sutcliffe
Sachin Tendulkar
Joe Root
Johnny Bairstow+
Wilfred Rhodes
Hedley Verity
Johnny Wardle
Fred Trueman

which. even supplemented with another pace bowler (Gillespie, maybe) is a bit heavy on the SLA bowlers. And clearly no-one trusts last year's sim tournament, with no-one picking Billy Bates...
