    Target 300. Day 5 square turning pitch. All spin attack. Pick your top 6

    Sutcliffe made 135 on a day 6 square-turning (at least initially) pitch with a target of 332. He also made 161 on a square-turning pitch in the Oval Test in 1926 (against Grimmett and Mailey), though that was on days 2 and 3. The obvious risk of picking him is that he'd bat through the 5th...

    'Jock' Cameron's Story

    Jack Fingleton and his unnamed co-selector picked him in their World XI of cricketers they'd played with/against in "Cricket Crisis", ahead of Oldfield, Ames and Duckworth. Has anyone else been made Widen Cricketer of the Year posthumously?

    On the subject of insane loophole attempts, would you allow Cambridgeshire, who played in the County Championship up to 1871 (i.e. before it became "official" in 1890)? My recommendation would be not to. No other teams, other than the current 18, have ever played in the County Championship...
