Aren't you missing an Indian somewhere in there?
Ah yes, quite right - Vijay Hazare's in my squad too. Plenty of batsmen in my team so far so the emphasis is on selecting bowlers or bowling allrounders for most of the remainder of the draft.

Martin Donnelly Only played 7 tests, but a 130 match FC career suggests that his success in those matches was not an accident.

Urgh, stuck between two players, taking my keeper now is a much better option I think. Will go with Brendon McCullum.

Nearly forgot about him tbh... there are still two good batsmen left from NZ that I would have been satisfied with.

Well tough round but I do have a few options left.

Only wish I could pick Clarrie Grimmett but he never played for New Zealand during those years as they did not have test status. He was a reserve in a tour match against Australia but thats as far as it went as he never had any playing time. Hence by the rules I cannot pick him. If I'm mistaken please correct me Matt.

That leaves me with a choice of Bert Sutcliffe, J.R Reid and Stephen Fleming. All things considered, I'll pick Bert Sutcliffe, a New Zealand matchwinner and hero, also a shoo-in for any all time New Zealand side behind Hadlee and Crowe.

Hopefully its Pakistan next.
