[watson]

I guess I should make the pick as it's been quite some time now.

I'll take Ted McDonald as the third quick.

Aldo's XI :

01. Arthur Shwresbury snr
02. Monty Noble
03. Ricky Ponting
04. Brian Lara
05. Greg Chappell
06. Frank Worrell
07. Alan Knott
08. Wasim Akram
09. Alec Bedser
10. Ted McDonald
11. Hedley Verity

Ted McDonald played only 11 Tests.

 

[AldoRaine18]

I'll go with Herbie Collins as the second opener then.

01. Arthur Shwresbury snr
02. Herbie Collins
03. Ricky Ponting
04. Brian Lara
05. Greg Chappell
06. Frank Worrell
07. Alan Knott
08. Monty Noble
09. Wasim Akram
10. Alec Bedser
11. Hedley Verity

 

[watson]

Sorry Aldo but Murphy's Law dictates that someone would have picked on the error right in the middle of the Voting when you're winning. So better now.

Ironically, I think that your second team is a better balanced team anyhow.


EDIT: Incidently, Collins seems like a good foil for Ponting, Lara, and Chappell.

A bookmaker by profession, he was widely known as "Horseshoe" Collins by reason of his good fortune in connection with racing and in winning the toss at cricket.........A batsman possessing exceptionally sound defence and seemingly unlimited patience, he spent four hours fifty minutes over 40 runs in the Old Trafford Test match of 1921 when, following a blank first day through rain, an England total of 362 for four wickets, declared, left Australia with nothing to hope for but a draw.

[AldoRaine18]

No worries watson, the 15 game rule must have completely skipped my mind when I selected McDonald.

 

[ankitj]

Only Kyear and Coronis left?

 

[Saint Kopite]

Yes.

 

[Saint Kopite]

Come on, Coronis and Kyear!

 

[Coronis]

Honestly I don't even have any idea who's still available for 1919-1928

 

[Saint Kopite]

Honestly I don't even have any idea who's still available for 1919-1928

What do you need?

 

[kyear2]

Sorry guys, rough weekend. Office moving, was a bitch.

Without my computer research from the older eras is hell.

Need a keeper and a middle order bat.

 

[Coronis]

Guess I'll go with Jack Ryder.

Sunil Gavaskar*
Bruce Mitchell
Kumar Sangakkara
Everton Weekes
Clem Hill
Jack Ryder
Tony Grieg
Ian Healy+
Muttiah Muralitharan
Fred Spofforth
Neil Adcock

Maybe should've thrown Sanga the gloves and picked an extra bowler but, oh well.

Apologies again.

 

[kyear2]

Allan "A.G." Steel

My first selection.

 

[kyear2]

Herbie Collins.

Billy Murdoch

 

[watson]

Aldo already has Collins. Murdoch is an excellent choice though, one of the pioneering greats.

So, are we done yet?
