Charlie Griffith
Fred Spofforth
Mohamned Abbas
Shane Bond
Fanie De Villiers
Jack Gregory

but for longevity/durability and playing era I'll finish with

Peter Pollock
The sheer quality of pacers available from this section is astonishing.

Okay, here are the orders for the mini drafts (based on sum of odd positions), people can start to pick:

Draft 1 (0):

@honestbharani (46)
Trundler (44)
ataraxia (27)
Cricket Bliss (26)


Draft 2 (1-15):
@Line and Length

Draft 3 (15-30):
@Fuller Pilch

Draft 4 (50-75):
Capt_Luffy (44)
@JOJOXI x 2 (35)
Bitmap (28)

Draft 5 (75-100):
@mr_mister (61)
Teuton (53)
Sayon Basak (40)
AndrewB (34)

Draft 6 (Any):
@Pothas (58)
Himannv (48)
Actually my previous pick, Hanif Mohammad, has played 55 tests so he comes under the (50-75) category. I should hence be in the Draft 6 after Pothas and Himannv having exhausted both of my (50-75) selections.

Thank you very much for bringing this list mistake of mine to notice. I thought he played 44 Tests (probably switched up with his average). You are the last at the any slot then.

Whatever it takes!!!
So I just need to pick someone who played 0 tests?

I will go with Tilak Verma




Honest Hunks



Yashasvi Jaiswal
Eddie Barlow
Simon Katich (vc)
Joe Root
Tilak Verma
Aubrey Faulkner
MS Dhoni (c) (wk)
Ravi Jadeja
Shaun Pollock
Wasim Akram
Kagiso Rabada

Team is full of batters and bowlers and insane depth. All kinds of spin, swing, seam and fast bowling available to exploit any kinda wicket anywhere in the world.

Doesn't Ashwin (100 Tests) count as my second 75-100 pick, with Inzamam (120) as my 100-120 pick (and Waugh as my 120+ pick)?
It could do. Both of them can fit in either slot. I guess the latter is much better for you. Then you have an any pick and you can pick now.
 

ataraxia

International Coach
Ben Brown (Sussex), 39-averaging batter and well above average wicket-keeper, the best keeperbat of all time never to play a test.
