Alphabet Teams

[NUFAN]

My team using the same formula..

1 V Merchant
2 V Trumper
3 V Richards
4 R Subba Row
5 F Worrell
6 B Lara
7 L Ames
8 B Statham
9 M Marshall
10 H Larwood
11 A Donald

I was going to go Lindwall and then Laker but didn't want to pick anyone the same.

 

[Howe_zat]

Mitchell
Lamb
Bradman
Nourse
Edrich
Hammond
Dhoni +
Imran *
Ntini
Illingworth
Hadlee

That's my attempt. Looks pretty weird though.

Complete cheat on the order of the bowlers.

 

[Prince EWS]

Complete cheat on the order of the bowlers.

Haha well if I'm not allowed to bat Hadlee at 11 I can end with Ironmonger and Roberts at 10 and 11 instead.

 

[Michaelf7777777]

Morris
Sehwag
Gower
V Richards
Sobers

or Alternatively

McCullum

Lamb
Bradman
Dudley Nourse
Edrich
Hadlee
Engineer (+)
Roberts

[Cabinet96]

Gave it a decent effort. Batting order isn't perfect and Sobers will have to do the main spinner role.

1. Gavaskar
2. Richards (Barry)
3. Slater
4. Richards (Viv)
5. Sobers
6. Stewart +
7. Tendulkar
8. Roberts
9. Steyn
10. Ntini
11. Illingworth

 

[Agent TBY]

Class bowler, that Dennis iillee lad.

 

[Cabinet96]

Indeed.

 

[Dan]

J Hobbs
S Gavaskar
R Ponting
G Pollock
K Wessels
S Waugh
H Strudwick
K Farnes
S Warne
E Gilbert
T Richardson


Last letter -> initial.
Wasn't sure who to follow Pollock with. Thought Headley had even less options.

 

[Red]

Last letter same as first in next player's surname...

Sehwag (Virender)
Gooch (Graham)
Hammond (Wally)
Darling (Joe)
Gower (David)
Richards (Viv)
Sobers (Garfield)
Small (Gladstone)
Lindwall (Ray)
Lillee (Dennis)
Evans (Godfrey)



Small batting out of position, but probably only by one place. Evans should be a bit higher in the order.

 

[harsh.ag]

I think this is pretty good:


Hobbs
Sehwag
Gavaskar
Richards
Sobers
Sangakkara +
Amla
Akram
McGrath
Holding
Grimmett

I had a choice between:

A) Marshall-Lillee-Evans B) Marshall-Lindwall-Laker C) McGrath-Holding-Grimmett and D) McGrath-Hadlee-Evans. Who would you chose?

 

[doesitmatter]

Hobbs
Smith
Hill
Lara
Abbas
Sobers
Sangakarra +
Akthar
Roberts
Snow
Warne * (may be Hobbs)

 

[harsh.ag]

Excellent Team. Did you, by any chance, work backward by putting Warne in there first?

Nah started top to bottom but wanted Warne in my team for sure ... started the bowling line-up with Akram like you but switched to Akthar to make sure Warne is in...
