Consecutive Year of Birth Test Draft:

Line and Length

Cricketer Of The Year
capt_Luffy and I had an overlap with our selections. I had my eye on both Hutton and Bedser but after the captain took Hutton I could have followed his advice and gone for pre Bradman birth years. I would have then had a team like this:

Vijay Merchant (1911)
Walter Hammond (1903) - he averaged over 70 when opening
Don Bradman (1908)
George Headley (1909)
Dudley Nourse (1910)
Jackie Grant (1907)
Gubby Allen (1902)
Harold Larwood (1904)
George Duckworth (1901)
Bill O'Reilly (1905)
Ernie McCormick (1906)

From my selected XI, out go Langton, Hassett, Toshack, Hazare, Tallon, Mankad and Bedser.
In come Duckworth, Allen, Hammond, Larwood, O'Reilly, McCormick and Grant.

Bradman, Headley, Nourse and Merchant are common to both teams.

Should I have taken @capt_Luffy 's advice?
