Never heard of the guy in my life but he was a wicket keeper and apparently was Wisden Cricketer of the year 1903.

Double pick for Nufan. Any thoughts on the next series? 1894-5 sounds good.

 

[Blakus]

Post it in a moment. Studying series right now.

 

[Blakus]

Yeah I agree the 1894/95 series sounds really good. 5 tests, 5 results and only decided in the last match. Also it seems to have begun the ere of regular 5 match series.


So for round 10 we have the 1894/95 ashes.

Just want to know, do you guys feel like a 12th round? Player up for selection would be anyone not already picked.

 

[kingkallis]

Interesting!

12th round will give people a chance to pick their wicket keeper

 

[Himannv]

Just want to know, do you guys feel like a 12th round? Player up for selection would be anyone not already picked.

Nice. I like it.

 

[Howe_zat]

Yes, definately. Only fair on those going last in the 11th round anyway.

For selection, if we wanted to make it harder, we could use the current series?

 

[Blakus]

Thinking about it a little more, it makes sense for it to be anyone who didn't play in one of the series already used.

 

[kingkallis]

Yeah that will be fine. It should be from series already used only.

 

[NUFAN]

Jack Saunders

I'll be a few minutes deciding on someone for the next round.
