Whatever it takes!!!
Coz, Jadeja is the answer to everything.Why would I do that when I have an all-rounder (McCool) with similar averages?

I though selecting Bradman meant remaining selections should be 75+ Still happy with my team.

Cricketer Of The Year
The players I selected (apart from Bradman) may have played only a few Tests but there are reasons. Their career stats suggest they were more than "bits 'n' pieces" selections.
1. CAG "Jack" Russell / (910 runs @ 56.87) but for injuries and illness, and the presence of openers Hobbs & Sutcliffe, would have played more Tests.
2. Alan Melville v.c. / (894 runs @ 52.58) made his Test debut in 1938 then WWII interrupted his career. Regarded as a South African great.
3. Don Bradman capt. / (6996 runs @ 99.94) to quote a song, "Simply the Best".
4. Vinod Kambli / (1084 runs @ 54.20) for some reason was seen as a ODI specialist when his Test appearances suggest he should have played more in the longer form.
5. Eddie Paynter / (1540 runs @ 59.23) a courageous and attacking bat whose Test career ended with WWII.
6. Colin McCool /o (459 runs @ 35.30; 36 wickets @ 26.61) part of Bradman's invincibles team. With limited opportunities he moved to England to play Lancashire League and county cricket for Somerset. 18 1st class tons and 34 fivefers.
7. Steve Rhodes w/kp (294 runs @ 24.50 & 49 dismissals) proficient 'keeper who was overlooked when England wanted a keeper/batsman (Alec Stewart).
8. Sylvester Clarke o (42 wickets @ 27.85) was in the shadow of other West Indies quicks, banned for playing in the rebel tour of South Africa. Played with great distinction in county cricket for Surrey. 942 1st class wickets @ 19.42
9. Peter Heine o (56 wickets @ 25.08) a fast bowler renowned for his consummate hostility, he formed a potent Test combination with Neil Adcock.
10. Manny Martindale o (37 wickets @ 21.72) was the leading bowler when West Indies won their first Test series, against England in 1935–36. Employed bodyline tactics effectively. Moved to England to play league cricket in 1938 then WWII.
11. Bert "Dainty" Ironmonger o (74 wickets @ 17.97) a 'late bloomer' who made his Test debut at 46. Could turn the ball on flat tracks and was said to be unplayable on a 'turner'.
In short, a powerful top order, a pace trio with a nasty streak supported by a classy spinner and a capable all rounder. All led by The Greatest as captain.
