All the good spinners making their debut the same decade as Sobers is kind of annoying.

Decided to pick 6 teams as 6 NZers have made their test debuts in the 2020s and am at home on holiday. It was a real struggle by the end. Surprisingly some very good players (esp wicketkeepers) missed out and some players are in much higher/lower rated teams than normal.

It is when they made their test debuts so many of the dates are wrong and 3 players are ineligible.

The normal awards that everyone else has
If it's when they debuted:
Trumper (1890s)
Lawry (1960s)
Bradman (1920s)
Smith (2010s)
Waugh (1980s)
Miller (1940s)
Gilchrist (1990s)
Davidson (1950s)
Lillee (1970s)
OReilly (1930s)
Spofforth (1870s)
Could include Harvey instead of Miller if 5 bowlers aren't wanted

Actually he should be in the 5th XI. I see I picked Dion Nash twice.

What happened?
Fuller Pilch

Only gives 10 players, so I picked 3 from one decade (1990s) but still no space for Herath or Jayawardene as needed Murali, Vaas, and an opener.
