George Giffen, Gerald Gomez, Ramiz Raja, Robert Robinson and Mushtaq Mohhamed are the only other players I could think of.
The only one of those who could possibly make the side would be Mushtaq Mohhamed and it would be hard to fit him in.

Just thought of one more: Colin Cowdrey would have to make the team.
Yes he should. Just because his 1st name is not Colin does not mean I should have forgot about him. I mean, I included Greenidge even though his 1st name is Cuthbert!

Should probably take over from Styris

Except his name is MC Cowdrey, but hey there are no rules and he was known as Colin so lets let him play.

Which brings me onto a team that went by their middle name, will we have enough for a team?

M C Cowdrey
K D Walters
Brad Hogg
R N Harvey

I will have to give it some more thought :)
