What a great team. Great captain, ATG openers, one of the best all-rounders ever, a great keeper and a brilliant bowling attack that offers a lot of variety. Also my team bats till no. 10.

I think there's some people who have done very well considering where they placed in that.

And some who haven't done quite as well.

 

[Himannv]

14.45? I'll take that.

My team:

01. Bill Lawry
02. Conrad Hunte
03. Wally Hammond
04. Allan Border
05. Peter May
06. Stanley Jackson
07. Godfrey Evans+
08. Peter Pollock
09. Hugh Tayfield
10. Frank Tyson
11. Allan Donald

 

[weeman27bob]

That's a cracking team for placing so low down on the lists.

 

[Cabinet96]

Jonathan Trott to finish things off.

My Final XI, yes I know it's pretty shoddy, but I did crap in the quiz rounds.

Graeme Smith*
Jonathan Trott
Mohammad Yousuf
AB de Villiers
Andy Flower +
Ian Bell
Stuart Broad (4)
Jim Laker (5)
Alec Bedser (3)
James Anderson (2)
Glen McGrath (1)

Quite so. I'm actually very happy with this side on the whole and I'm fairly surprised with the team I ended up with considering how low I was placed..
