Draft suggestion: "Never met" XI

I think you're right about Allan Knott but it's SillyCowCorner1 to pick after bagapath (and AFAICT he could pick Sylvester Clarke if he wants to).

Yeah, famously holding never played a single test vs Pakistan. Would've picked him and Imran had I had the chance. That was my plan.... Sigh

Yeah picking in advance is causing confusion. Best to wait for 11th round even if your pick is safe from everyone.

mr_mr is up

In his career I believe he only maybe 3 opportunities that I can think of to play Pakistan and yeah curiously, he was always injured

I didn't realize this, but it looks like there's nothing I could have done. he was picked in round 3 before my turn came up.
