    Let's go with the suggested figure of 75% or more Tests as wicket-keeper to be eligible.

    Yeah, I wondered about that too - in the 5th Test of the 1909-10 series in SA, Neville Tufnell was brought in as keeper (batting at 9) but Strudwick stayed in the side (batting at 10) for some reason - maybe no-one else was fit to play?

    Specialists draft

    I don't think having played as a keeper should prevent a player from being picked as a non-keeper, since I don't see how it would benefit them.

    Well, bear in mind that Curtly Ambrose is not a valid pick in this draft because his batting was too good... But I think it's probably easiest to stick to the original criteria and allow any wicket-keeper (other than, say, Boucher and Walcott who fail on their averages).

    Specialists draft

    OK, we'll go with that. Note that as well as obvious non-specialists such as Sangakkara/Walcott/de Villiers/Stewart, this excludes some players more generally thought of as specialist keepers such as Dujon, Waite, Moin Khan, Les Ames, Lindsay, de Kock, Blackham...

    Specialists draft

    How about "the team's wicket-keeper must have played all their Tests as designated wicket-keeper"?

    Specialists draft

    I haven't come up with a way to exclude wicketkeeper-bats, so unless someone thinks of one fast they will be eligible (except for those like de Villiers and Walcott who are excluded by their bowling averages).

    Specialists draft

    The criteria for this draft are simple: each player you pick must have: - played at least one Test, - have a Test batting average which is less than half their Test bowling average, or have taken no Test wickets. So no all-rounders (or, at least, none who were successful in Tests). No Bradman...

    WI's 385 is also the highest all-out score in an ODI, beating the 365 England scored against Scotland last year.

    Predict the XIs for the first Ashes test.

    The brothers Alec and Frank Hearne opened the batting for England and South Africa in the 1892 Test (and George and Jack Hearne were also in the England side). Arthur and Bruce Mitchell played on opposite sides of the 1935 England v SA Oval Test. Collie Smith opened the batting in the second...
