Clive Rice (*)
Simon Davis

 

[jimmy101]

SillyCow has timed out. Red Hill up.

 

[NZTailender]

I feel like all those chosen really go against what I'd consider "a flash in the pan" with the exception of Trott and Mendis.

[Fuller Pilch]

I'd forgotten about my next pick until this morning, so hopefully no one nabs him first

 

[_Ed_]

Knight was selected in 99 WC squad it seems, unlucky not to get a run.

Yeah, IIRC they opened with Hussain and Stewart. Had to make room in the XI for the all-round might of Adam Hollioake, Mark Ealham and Ian Austin.

 

[randycricfreak]

who'sturn is it now?

 

[randycricfreak]

Since RH has been timed out.

My next pick

Marcus Trescothick

 

[Teuton]

SCC red and jimmy are all up

 

[jimmy101]

Since RH has been timed out.

My next pick

Marcus Trescothick

Good pick.

I'll take Phil Hughes.

 

[quincywagstaff]

I feel like all those chosen really go against what I'd consider "a flash in the pan" with the exception of Trott and Mendis.

I think both my choices qualify as flash in the pan types. Ottis Gibson had a terrific series in the 95/96 ODI tri-series in Oz where SL also played. Looked a star in the making but hardly played after that.

In just his 2nd ODI in 1984/85 played as the first MCG match under lights before a huge crowd in what was effectively the Champions Trophy, Kerr starred with 87* and looked the young bat Oz had been looking for. He was to play only two more ODIs.

 

[Burgey]

Kerr went in the 85 Ashes tour didn’t he? Completely modelled his game on Greg Chappell. Looked so much like him when he batted.
