Team so far

W.G Grace (c)
Arguably the greatest cricketing character of them all.The champion that made modern cricket.The Isaac Newton of cricket.Lots and lots of scientist in todays date know more than Newton but that doesn’t make them greater than Newton and it’s the same with W.G Grace.And the only person in my book who compares with don bradman for greatness.Bats at 3/4 the position where the best batsman usually bat in newer generation.

Larwood
Probably no fast bowler name has caused more fear in the opposition dressing room than Larwood.The best quick of all time?I don’t know but he certainly had the most beautiful bowling action I have ever seen.

Johnson
Just imagine Larwood 1932/33 and Johnson 2013-14 and peak bumrah bowling together.

Bumrah
The best quick india has ever had imho. Unquestionably one of the best quick of the current generation.Bowls some remarkable spells.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

@Teuton has timed out.

I'll have Ryan Harris.

@Red

Can't you jump in?

 

[HookShot]

Can't you jump in?

By the time JOJOXI wakes up in the UK it will be his pick regardless.

 

[Line and Length]

Can't you jump in?

It's been less than 8 hours since Fuller Pilch made his selection. @Red has about 30 minutes left before I can jump in.

Teuton's selection was a 'catch-up' that doesn't affect timing.

 

[Line and Length]

@Red timed out

The pace bowling stocks are being drained quickly so I'll' take Kagiso Rabada. That makes 8 out of the last 8 selections for 'quicks'.

@JOJOXI

@JOJOXI

I have him already.

 

[Line and Length]

I have him already.

Ooops. Careless of me ... especially as I have a list of selections posted.

I'll have Neil Wagner ..... another left-armer.

 

[Line and Length]

I should correct my post re @ataraxia's comment about jumping in. I completely forgot the clause that allowed one to jump in after 4 hours. Thanks for reminding me (and others).
