Why isn't he called Rob Simpson? Why can't English language shorten names properly?

And Jack Hobbs is short for John Hobbs. It's not even shorter lol.

International Vice-Captain
When I was really young in my career, there was a client called William and I addressed him as Will blissfully unaware of the consequences. After receiving a round of reprimand from my manager, I was asked to call him Bill, which I adhered to religiously.
Rohit Sharma is best with that initial in subcontinent.

All-time Northern Hemisphere vs Southern Hemisphere Test XIs
NH
Hobbs
Gavaskar
Richards
Lara
Tendulkar
Sangakkara+
Sobers 5
Imran (c) 3
Marshall 1
Ambrose 2
Murali 4
Unlucky to miss out, Hutton, Botham, Kapil, Akram, Hammond
SH
G Smith
B Richards
Bradman (c)
Ponting
S Smith
Miller 5
Gilchrist+
Hadlee 1
Warne 4
Steyn 3
McGrath 2
Unlucky, G Pollock Lillee, Chappell, Border, Hayden
Clearly SH has the weaker openers neither who were as good as Hutton, so case to made for another batsmen to move up to open so can slip the likes of G Pollock, Chappell or Border in further down but I'd rather specialist openers.
That said SH with arguably the stronger batting 3 through 5 with the Bradman factor, Sobers > Miller in the batting all-rounders & I'd say there's very little between the pace attacks of Marshall/Ambrose/Imran vs McGrath/Hadlee/Steyn, maybe SH having the slight edge overall there. Then Murali vs Warne.
Anyway who wins, and what's your XIs?

I see I last did this in 2010... http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/threads/all-time-northern-vs-southern-hemisphere.46411/ with not very different sides at that time, and SH was voted as stronger
