The "Pity the Team Bus" XI

[zaremba]

Ok as I'm reading about Bresnan waddling in to bowl, let's get a quick Porkers' XI together.

Allow me to start the ball rolling:

1. Mark Cosgrove
2. Warwick Armstrong (c)
3. Ollie Milburn
4. Jesse Ryder
5. Samit Patel
6. Fat Gatt
7. Ian Botham
8. Eddie Hemmings
9. Ian Austin
10. Eddo Brandes
11. Dwayne Leverock

 

[_Ed_]

Predictable, but...

Dwayne Leverock.

 

[pskov]

Samit Patel.

 

[TT Boy]

Yusuf Abdulla. Fattest international quick going.

 

[TT Boy]

 

[TT Boy]

Jacques Kallis.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ollie Milburn a shoo in for any rotund XI. The Big Ship should probably also sail in.

Fair to say Merv Hughes enjoyed his food too as did his national captain Tubby Taylor.

& the late, great Colin Cowdrey had a fairly affectionate relationship with the pies as well.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

& the late, great Colin Cowdrey

*chuckle*

 

[_Ed_]

Who would be the home umpire? Shep or Peter Parker?

 

[BoyBrumby]

*chuckle*

Unintentional, sadly.

Also: Ian "Beefy" Botham, Eddie "The Whale" Hemmings & Mike "Fat Gatt" Gatting.

 

[Steulen]

Eddo Brandes, he of biscuit fame.

 

[_Ed_]

Inzi, Ranatunga, perhaps even Aravinda.

Might have a few more than 11.

 

[Pheobe]

 

[fredfertang]

Don't forget Jack Simmons who, I am led to believe, was a man that Mike Gatting was not prepared to take on in an eating contest.

 

[The Sean]

Fat Cat himself, Greg Ritchie.

And the good Doctor in his later years would surely be worthy of a spot too...

 

[sanga1337]

Warwick Armstrong should get a spot IMO. Boonie should also be considered as well as Ranatunga

 

[Kweek]

Jesse Ryder ?

 

[grecian]

Nosh Gifford?

 

[Debris]

WG Grace might be a show as well

 

[superkingdave]

Yeah Ranatunga, Gooch was a bit podgy in his latter days, Mark Ealham and his dad for a father son combo. Blackwell. Duleep Mendis
