Not my best draft thus far
You have waaaay to many bowlers my man. Sure you don't wanna pick a couple of batsmen instead?

Nah. I'm cool. I'll ride or die with them.

Nixon (McClean) can wield a bat. I remember one time he hit a six in a test match (i'm not sure) and the ball went through a window. Something Tino Best could have never done :laugh:


If you allow it. I can hastily swap a few bowlers for batsmen :)

I like the way your team is shaping up. Both Germon & Hollioake were pretty underrated skippers. I have some good memories of Hollioake getting some decent results whilst in charge during '98.
Germon won a lot of silverware in NZ domestic cricket while captaining Canterbury

He was a fine skipper for sure. NZ cricket was pretty weird in the mid-90's in general. What with Rutherford & Greatbatch kinda getting forced into retirement, Germon being thrusted into a captaincy position with little to no intl experience (shades of Paine). Martin Crowe's body giving out on him just before the '96 CWC. All kinds of crazy.

Should see if you can rope him in for an interview MM. Quincy might even be keen on getting him on the podcast.
