The worst RoW side

pick a side with the worst regular current players from all sides except Australia, Bangladesh and Zim. My hunch is that even they would have done better than this selected lot.


I will do mine later. I g2g right now. But I hope everyone has fun selecting this side.

Probably the World XI who toured here in 71/72. They'd be pretty ordinary these days
