Over 75 selections made and all but 4 born before 1950. I thought by now participants would be after more recent ATGs.
I'm playing a quite different game after FB beat me to Bradman. I don't expect votes, but statistically my side will (hopefully) be quite impressive.

A proven opening pair (Simpson and Lawry) is impressive.
Not just that, his Top 7 reads:
Simpson
Lawry
Dexter
May
Chappell
Worrell
Lindsay

An ATVG solid opener pair, 3 top tier ATVGs and an ATG in the middle and a keeper who is a solid bat. 3 of them are decent bowlers as well, borderline allrounders. And he has an ATG spinner and one of the early bowling Greats and to fill the other 2 spots can hop around some as well.
