[Red]

Colin Cowdrey- from what I know: a master of playing pace bowling, and elegant and proper batsman, a magnificent slips catcher and a true gent.

[weldone]

He's also the first player to play 100 test matches.

But I wouldn't have him as opener.

 

[Red]

He's also the first player to play 100 test matches.

But I wouldn't have him as opener.

He opened in a fair amount of tests with good results. I thought at this point he'd be a good choice because I'm not sure I'll be able to pick up another opener with what I have left, but if I can, he can slot in anywhere between 4-6 no probs.

 

[kingkallis]

It's time to give the gloves to an experienced and respected wicket keeper - Jeff Dujon

[NUFAN]

I'm liking that team KK.

Does anyone have a problem if I pick? The two gents before me have already picked from the era I want to pick in. If you say yes in the next hour cool I'll pick, if not it wont be until tomorrow morning.

Go for it if they've already picked from the era you're gunna pick from.

As Red Hill responded first, I'll pick one of his favs - Ian Chappell 65-74 era.

HERBIE TAYLOR


The man who made SF Barnes hurl the ball to the ground and cry, "It's Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, all the time!" - Geoff Armstrong.

​

 

[bagapath]

Jack Gregory (1919 - 28 era)

Is that a typo or has kyer2 really selected two players from 1955-64?

 

[Saint Kopite]

Not a typo. Looks like Kyear has indeed two players from the 1955-64.

 

[weldone]

Good point bagapath.

Ya he should be denied Wes Hall and should make his alternate pick when he comes online.

 

[weldone]

Red Hill should be forced Ajit Agarkar as Ishant Sharma's new-ball partner for these repeated silly mistakes. And kyear should get Nicky Boje for his error.

I want to ask everyone if I can have Mike Whitney instead of Ishant...

 

[weldone]

I want to ask everyone if I can have Mike Whitney instead of Ishant...

No. But I have a good news for you.

You haven't yet picked from the 1985-1994 era. So, Whitney is all yours.

Edit: He doesn't pass the 15 test criterion. But I'm sure Bagapath will be accomodative to change the rules for you.

 

[kingkallis]

I wish I had paid some more attention to it cause I needed Wes Hall and would have taken in that round ahead of John Snow.
