Apologies guys, rough day at work, combined with a tough decade to choose from. Don't wait on my account.

What do you do?

 

[Camo999]

He might end up being 12th man but I like the sound of Herman Griffith (1893)

Hobbs
Grace
Kohli
Miandad
Ponsford
Lloyd
Benaud
Tallon
Wasim Akram
B Johnston
H Griffith
(1970s...)

 

[watson]

Apparently Griffith had Bradman caught for 4 runs in the Adelaide Test of 1930, and then bowled him for a duck during the Sydney Test. Sounds like an intriguing character.

 

[fredfertang]

From the 1910s one of New Zealand's finest

01. Victor Trumper
02. Virender Sehwag
03. Ted Dexter

[ankitj]

I will take your opinion. Below is my 11. For my 12th player I can either take John Reid or Trevor Bailey - two utility all-rounders. Or I can take Tom Graveney to replace Patsy Hendren in the middle order. What do you guys think?

01. Geoff Boycott
02. Vinoo Mankad (5)
03. Ken Barrington
04. Sachin Tendulkar
05. Steve Waugh
06. Patsy Hendren
07. Les Ames +
08. Imran Khan * (1)
09. Vernon Philander (2)
10. CharlieTurner (3)
11. Clarrie Grimmett (4)

 

[chasingthedon]

For my 12th pick, I was choosing between two from the 1940s - one is the man who our own fredfertang abused in a pub toilet somewhere (ask him about it), Ian Chappell, but the one I plumped for is one of England's finest all-rounders, Tony Greig. Plus he will supply some much needed offies.

 

[chasingthedon]

1. Graham Gooch
2. Graeme Smith
3. Clem Hill
4. Peter May *
5. Martin Crowe
6. Aubrey Faulkner
7. Adam Gilchrist +

JR Reid was rated as an exceptional cover fielder, would give him the job

 

[ankitj]

Yeah, he could keep too. So John Reid it is.
