Ah... damn. Well done AndrewB. Congrats on the win. I should have gone for Faulkner earlier. Think it made the difference.

And thanks for those who voted for my team.

 

[Teuton]

I will set the rules:
Players who scored exactly 1 test century

Over to you mister.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Thanks for those who voted for my team as well. It was fun.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I'll set the rules too:

Players who were born outside of the test nation they played international cricket for.

For clarity, where England and the West Indies are concerned as the test nations aren't sovereign nations, "England" represents England and Wales and "the West Indies" represents Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, the British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Sint Maarten, Trinidad and Tobago, and the US Virgin Islands.

So for England Scottish and Irish born players are eligible for the draft but Welshmen aren't, and for a West Indian to count as foreign-born he must've been born outside of the nations and territories listed above.

And thanks for those who voted for my team.

I think those teams would be pretty well matched... it wasn't easy to pick a good pace attack with the given criterion, so you might see a few high-scoring draws

 

[AndrewB]

To contrast with my previous draft (played either side of a World War), I'll go for players who died during a year in which a World War was taking place (i.e. who died between Jan 1 1914 and Dec 31 1918, or between Jan 1 1939 and Dec 31 1945).

First pick to Milenko47.

Some great draft ideas here

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bear in mind World War 3

 

[morgieb]

OK, slightly ripping off Teuton here - Players Without A Century/5-Fer

Your move, Marcuss.

 

[mr_mister]

Would be good to get a few more voters for those closer battles. MM, Howe, SCC, Ankit, care to throw down some votes?

Sorry had stopped checking this thread a bit over Christmas

Back in the saddle now
