Herbert Sutcliffe
Bill Ponsford
George Headley
Charles Macartney
Stan McCabe
Les Ames
Jack Gregory
Maurice Tate
Wilfred Rhodes
Harold Larwood
Clarrie Grimmett

Hammond went last round didn't he?

 

[stephen]

I think mr_mister won that round.

Ankitj probably spent too much on Murali for his team, given how little he has left to buy 4 batsmen or three batsmen and an all rounder with.

Milenko has a decent war chest to pick up his remaining 6 players with.

Red Hill well placed to snap up the best players to come.

Hb with some great players but needs to pick eight players with half his starting cash.

Should be an interesting could of rounds.

You're right - I've edited the post to replace him with Charles Macartney.

Overpriced XI:

–

Steven Smith
Sachin Tendulkar

–
Allan Knott +
Malcolm Marshall
Bill O'Reilly
Muttiah Muralitharan
Glenn McGrath

That tail is too long but that bowling attack is lethal.

 

[stephen]

Yeah you need to hope to pick up another decent batsman for super cheap. That bowling is impossible to beat though.
