I believe I can pick from the South Africa/Sri Lanka pool, providing they've played >10 and <90 Tests.

There are two excellent #5s available but I already have 3 players from SA so I'll go with Thilan Samaraweera.

1. Graeme Smith (c) /
2. Roy Fredericks /
3. George Headley /
4. Denis Compton /o
5. Thilan Samaraweera /
6. Mushfiqur Rahim (w/k) /
7. Wasim Raja /o
8. Andrew Flintoff /o
9. Hugh Tayfield o
10. Dennis Lillee o
11. Allan Donald o

12th. ? Not sure my final selection will get a berth ahead of any of this XI

What happens in the last round?

Are we picking a coach, a 12th player (can't say 12th man I guess in case it is a woman), an alternative selection so we can bracket 2 of them to cover conditions etc., or another player and make one of current XI the 12th?

The 12th round is just a chance to strengthen your teams further in case you had too many poor rolls in the first eleven rounds. I wasn’t sure how the luck factor would play out.

I'll be the first to admit that my team relied heavily on the luck factor .... apart from missing the opportunity to add a player from India.

My side currently has 3 quicks and 2 spinners so I'm looking to give my team more flexibility by adding an all-rounder/medium pacer who could replace Raja if the wicket favoured a 4/1 pace/spin attack. Tossed up between Jeremy Coney and Jacob Oram and went for the latter.

My side:

1. Graeme Smith (c) /
2. Roy Fredericks /
3. George Headley /
4. Denis Compton /o
5. Thilan Samaraweera /
6. Mushfiqur Rahim (w/k) /
7. Wasim Raja /o
8. Andrew Flintoff /o
9. Hugh Tayfield o
10. Dennis Lillee o
11. Allan Donald o

12. Jacob Oram /o

Happy with that line-up. Solid openers, strong middle order, bats deep, menacing pace attack and an offie and a leggie providing spin variation.
