Williamson
Walcott
Weekes
S Waugh (Walters misses out)
Watling (wk) (Wasim Bari misses out)
Wasim Akram

Mark Waugh as 12th man/sub fielder

You can’t pick Younis,Akram in the team.Right?

Not even the best W in his own family.

 

[Brook's side]

Barnes
Boycott
Bradman
Barrington
Border
Botham
Boucher
Bedser
Barnes
Bumrah

Now I know why Barnes the bowler is referred to as "SF"

H Sutcliffe
Sehwag
Sangakkara (wk)
S Smith
Sobers
Stokes (c)
Shakib Al-Hasan
Swann
Steyn
Srinath
Spofforth

Brian Statham makes that attack

With Sobers in there you can play a specialist batsman ahead of either Stokes or Shakib, probably Bob Simpson or the other Smith.

Turner
Taylor
Trott
Tendulkar

A Cook
Conway/Herbie Collins
Compton
G Chappell
M Crowe
Clarke
Cameron (ahead of Carey)wk
Cummins
Cowie

Some useful 5th bowlers in the middle order. Chris Cairns comes in for Clarke if an allrounder is wanted.

Does the K really count if it's silent? But I suppose.

Kapil is a K

 

[Victor Ian]

Kapil is a K

I don't get the naming convention. Is Kapil's brother also a Kapil, or a Dev? And if you cant have him, I guess you can have Imran.
