Indeed Mr Z - I, in turn, will therefore apologise for my unnecessary sarcasm

I think this list is clearly crap as it has no sub-continental players.

 

[SJS]

Frankly, I am disappointed to see Jack Hobbs at number 19... very disappointed.

One - Colin Cowdrey was born in India

and DRJ of course

I thought Hammond was "rested" or "injured" in 46-47, when in fact he was dropped or dropped out himself as he was going so poorly.

Mike Denness certainly did in 1974/75 - just a shame he accepted the offer to captain ITFP as he was never a good enough batsman to play Test cricket.

What's more, the papers who had been going on about how he should drop himself cos he was so obviously not good enough then accused him of cowardice and taking the easy way out after he did. A bit like Ponting and his win-or-play-fair condondrum, some writers try to have it both ways.

This list redundant now, Jimmeh should be #1

 

[superkingdave]

How long till you can ditch that and get a proper avatar Corrin?

 

[GIMH]

Think I might he able to change it now actually, will go check

 

[GIMH]

Could have changed it yesterday, shocker

Anyways. Jimmeh in now until the end of the series when Freddie can take over. Clapo & ripper to have one of Jimmeh & Freddie each when the Ashes are safely back home.
