Alphabetical order?

Yeah. Was keen to pick Faulkner and hope Flower would last, but then thought he (Flower) would get picked (pun with Flower/Dad joke), so decided to get a better specialist spinner than Faulkner (already had Border as a 2nd spinner). I then picked WG hoping to get Headley but he was already picked unfortunately.

Also in hindsight I should've picked Curtly Ambrose first and hoped Barnes would last to round 2, although Barnes-Davidson-Donald is still a very good pace trio.

This comment from Pothas is crucial for trying to guess his objective

Don't know if it'll help anyone guess the theme if I say the main eligible players I missed out on were Len Hutton, Viv Richards and Imran Khan.

In my case, I suppose there is a reason that Anil Kumble bats at 11 and not 10 before McGrath.
