Actually, that's not bad even if I say so myself.

Good openers, very solid middle-order, attacking left-arm allrounder at 8, a keeper that can bat, and a paceman and spinner who put a lot of work on the ball.

 

[Jager]

Cheers for the heads up on Donnelly, I really shouldn't remake these lists when it's pushing 4 in the morning. I'll edit him out and anyone who wants to use the extra vote (Michael, kyear) are welcome to vote again.

 

[NUFAN]

One of our most interesting teams so far, a fine side IMO. Obviously not that much of a high ranking side in terms of the others we've created, but still a great blend of players. Strudwick at 11 really shook our selections up and made us consider both aspects of the remaining players.

Was Strudwick a chance to bat at number 10? I don't know much about him at all, but he has a first class 93 and perhaps an average of almost 8 when he played might be more valuable compared to MacGill almost 10? I don't mind, just interested if others agree.

1 - Charles Bannerman and Jeff Stollmeyer
2 - Ian Bell, Brian Booth and Jack Fingleton
3 - Prasanna Jayawardene (I think he's the most underrated Cricketer in the world today)
4 - Bobby Peel
5 - Charlie Griffith and Fanie de Villiers

Got to take the chance to reunite "those two little pals of mine", so need a third seamer too

Would be a great combination in one of these teams. I am surprised they are only getting mentions now.

Jack Fingleton and George Hirst.

I think they fit this team superbly.

Its handy having both openers who can bowl a bit of spin if required too.

I think that's a fantastic team. Probably my favourite of the minnow ATG sides. One more to go, do you want to finish us off, Nuf?

 

[NUFAN]

You can if you like, I'm pretty busy. If you don't run it in the next few hours though I'll start the last round late tonight.

I have to agree that the World Y team would be a tough side to beat.
