Have everybody do your work for you and then you run the thing. Pure management material. :p

Thanks. :D

PS. Not that this will be a problem, but we should get at least five people from each country (i.e Bangladesh).

India/Pak have been playing cricket the longest, and Pak has probably had the most talent, so it doesn't have to be even, but each country should be represented.

I had a short look for Aravinder De Silva (sp?) and couldn't find him for 2 reasons. A) I had no idea there were so many De Silva's that have played cricket either for Sri-Lanka or in SL 1st Class :ph34r:

B) See A

Sorry wont go into giving cricinfo pages.

Some from India -

Vijay Hazare
Vijay Merchant
Amar Singh
G Vishwanath
Kapil Dev
Gavaskar
Tendulkar
Kumble
Dravid

Some from Pakistan -

Hanif Md.
Imran Khan
Javed Miandad
Wasim Akram
Waqar Younis
Inzamam

Sri Lanka -

Aravinda De Silva
Vaas
Murali

Bangladesh - none.

I don't think we should necessarily include any from Bangladesh if they don't deserve it. The best should be there and there are many players from India and Pakistan who would stake a claim before any Bangladeshis.
