an idea: a draft of non-cricketers

[Adders]

Kenny from South Park

How do you plan to cover for him when he keeps getting killed?

 

[Shri]

Kyle would be the best punter in rugby if Ike were to be used the ball in all games.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Round six - JOhn Daly. For the lulz

Have enough smokes to last an entire game? He and his caddie go through so many per round. Would be a crack if he started playing and missing...that short temper

 

[Victor Ian]

My other opener who can also play #3

Mohammed : Bats without a helmet. Chews muswak as he swaggers to the crease in his whites.

 

[StephenZA]

Hau's opening partner is a batsmen of skill determination and brilliance. A perfect opening batsmen, the sort of strong-willed character that can withstand anything thrown (or bowled) at her.. Marie Curie, a lady with a real radiative personality. (I'm sorry!)

1. Lene Hau
2. Marie Curie
3.
4. Richard Feynman
5.
6.
7. Leonardo da Vinci
8. Alhazen (Ibn al-Haytham)
9. Sir Isaac Newton
10.
11.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Lol, funny...but wrong on so many levels

 

[The Battlers Prince]

I need a captain, maybe an Englishman. Bobby Moore. Would have picked the hat trick maestro Hurst but he played FC cricket so he seems ineligible.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

^^ that was apparently the warm up before the '66 Grand Final

Battler's Mystery XI
1.
2. Kurt Fearnley
3.
4. Hermione Granger
5. Will Smith
6. Thor
7. Spider-Man +
8. Bobby Moore (c)
9.
10.
11. Jesse Owens

 

[fredfertang]

There are some very difficult characters in this draft, not least amongst them OS's skipper, so just in case I get in a tricky situation I'll pick the greatest escape artist of them all

1. Yoda
2.
3.
4. Harry Houdini
5. Genghis Khan
6. Mata Hari
7. Margaret Thatcher+
8.
9.
10. John Newcombe
1​1. Charlie Chaplin

 

[Shri]

You can't pick Rohit.

 

[Red]

Prince- just SEEMS like a number 4 batsman to me…

 

[Red]

01. W& Grace (grand old man of bad sitcoms)
02. Bam Bam Rubble (brutally powerful left hand opener)
03. Jeanne Richardson (Chappell) (strong bloodlines as a number 3 batsman, gutsy as)
04. Prince (Quintessential #4 batsman, elegant and wristy, second slip fielder)
05. Errol Flynn (all rounder, opening bowler and swashbuckling bat)
06.
07.
08.
09.
10. John Winston Howard (cannier than he looks and acts, spin merchant)
11. Satan (fiery express pace bowler with demonic stares)

 

[Burgey]

My other opener who can also play #3

Mohammed : Bats without a helmet. Chews muswak as he swaggers to the crease in his whites.

God help the poor TV producer who puts s profile pic up of him as he walks out to bat.

 

[Red]

I'm inspired now. Need a chirpy little ****er to be my keeper.
