Middle order looks like it's going to be the weakest area of the team, but we bat pretty deep so hopefully that cancels out.

Gun 4 man pace attack (Thompson only played 7 Tests but was the backbone of the Northamptonshire attack for donkeys years and had a bowling ave. of 19) and possibly enough batting depending on the next rounds. We all have very close teams as far as I can tell.

The fourth and final clause is:
:xmas: :xmas: :xmas: :xmas:

You must pick a player who dismissed or was dismissed by the player chosen before your turn.

For Bagapath, I will begin with a player chosen by me (not WG because that would defeat the purpose of this clause, as we will be stuck in the 19th century, and I am sure nobody wants that!).

And the player that Bagapath has to base his pick on is Ian Johnson (Test Debut 1946)

Any problems?
Very clever harsh! Hopefully we won't travel back too far in time such that Monk or I will be picking Alfred Mynn.

EDIT

There may be an issue if someone needs a batsman, but the preceding person picked a batsman who never bowled like Brian Lara. You are then stuck with having to pick from a line up of bowlers who can't fit into the team because you already have 4-5 of them.

But we'll just have to suck it and see I guess. Could be a lot of fun, or a load of angst.
