Never trust stats. They don't represent the player's potential.

Back Draft

I know. I don't trust Bradman's average either. It should only be mid-40s. But more seriously most games are going to be played away from England because there are players from 5 countries in that XI. So this doesn't bode very well: Thomas Evans - Performance Analysis by venue Home / Away - Test Cricket. 62 innings is a fair sample size.

In other words, don't trust runs and wickets.

When do I have to pick?
Teuton
International Captain
Final XI
Bruce Mitchell
Vinoo Mankad
Ricky Ponting
Kumar Sangakkara
Neil Harvey
Shivnarine Chanderpaul
Mark Boucher
Mike Procter
Wasim Akram
Fazal Mahmood
Jim Laker
Very happy with this team: 5 excellent bowlers with right and left arm quicks, a great med-fast, arguably the greatest offie and a left arm orthodox all-rounder; a super middle order to 6 with great batting depth to 9.
As a tactical battle this was one of the most interesting drafts i have been involved in too, particularly from a simple idea.

11. Neil Adcock
Hard to differentiate if the bowling is more powerful than the batting. Wanted to add another spinner (in Abdul Kadir), but Sonny Ramadhin is the OG (think Rahkeem).
