I felt you were one of the unlucky ones with the rolls so I think that's a fantastic team considering your relatively poor luck. The "less than 10 Tests" selections in particular were very astute.

[Fuller Pilch]

Mohinder Anarnath

Rather than naming a 12th man, I've got the option of 2 very different players at no 3 depending on the circumstances (pitch, opposition, form etc.)

1) Gordon Greenidge
2) Eddie Barlow
3) Vinod Kambli/Mohinder Amarnath
4) Javed Miandad
5) Shivnarine Chanderpaul
6) Ellyse Perry
7) Ravi Jadeja
8) Ian Healy (wk)
9) Ray Lindwall
10) Graeme Swann
11) Kagiso Rabada


Very deep batting with Lindwall and Swann at 9 and 10, and a quality keeper at 8. Four pace, 2 spin attack (Lindwall, Rabada, Perry, Barlow + Jadeja and Swann). Not sure who the captain would be.

 

[Himannv]

Is there anyone left who hasn't picked?

Post up your final teams if you haven't done so. I'll fire up the voting thread once everyone is done.
