[kingkallis]

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

You got the DON. Live with the Ishant now.

Think it's my go. I'll take Richie Richardson 1985-94

...
Bardsley
Richardson
Pollock
Ranji
Armstrong
...
Davidson
Holding
O'Reilly

[NUFAN]

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.

[Saint Kopite]

Kyear has to make two picks when he comes online since his pick, Wes Hall, was invalid as he had already selected a player from that era!

 

[watson]

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.

I wouldn't worry too much KK as Snow is every bit as good as Hall IMO. Against top order batsman, he was probably better.

 

[watson]

Btw im interested in knowing who others would pick to share the new ball in an attack featuring Johnson Botham Barnes and Miller?

Start with a bumper barrage by Johnson and Miller, and then clean up afterwards with Barnes using reverse swing and leg breaks.

 

[weldone]

reverse swing!

 

[NUFAN]

Start with a bumper barrage by Johnson and Miller, and then clean up afterwards with Barnes using reverse swing and leg breaks.

Yeah this is what I was going to go with too. Even though Barnes was my number one pick I feel better opening with the Aussie duo. Barnes and Beefy woukd get a taste of the action soon enough as neither opening bowler is renowned for long spells.

 

[Red]

Beefy'll need a bit of recovery time from the night before anyway.

 

[kyear2]

Though Harvey was 1948 to 1954. Otherwise would have picked Weekes instead.

 

[Saint Kopite]

Hmmm. That is really unfortunate. Usually, someone would have noticed that like we did the first time you picked Kallis but all of us missed it this time. Harsh on your but its upto others to decide what they want.

 

[Coronis]

Jack Gregory (1919 - 28 era)

I do hope everyone knows of this man's exploits both as the opening bowler - partnering Ted McDonald - of Australia and as the erstwhile world record holder for the fastest test century,

Team

Geoff Boycott
Graeme Smith
Viv Richards
Wally Hammond
F.S. Jackson
Jack Gregory
-----
Wilfred Rhodes
Ray Lindwall
----
Allan Donald

Ugh was hoping he'd last another round.

 

[weldone]

kyear is timed out. Let us move on. He can make his 2 picks when he comes online.

 

[kyear2]

Will forfeit Neil Harvey and make both picks during the day.

Long week at work.
