The Sean
Cricketer Of The Year
Sir Frank? I know he was Barbadian born and bred but he played the majority of his FC career for Jamaica. I'd have Alan Rae in that side too ahead of McMorris, though of course it's all personal choice.

There are no rules so pick who you like but Mallendar was an overseas player. If I had've considered overseas players I would have included Graham Hick in my ND squad.
That being said Mallendar was virtually a local given how many seasons he played for Otago.
Stephen Boock was a very un-menacing spinner at test level. Good at FC level.

a) there are no rules hence why I picked him.
b) He was an overseas player? No ****, sherlock. He played pretty much 10 seasons, so that's good enough for me.

I agree with that, but I have a feeling in 3/4 years time that team will change drastically as the likes of Barath and Darren Bravo play more cricket.

Border & Gilchrist are controversial due to the fact that they didn't play much for NSW, but meh.
Keith Miller played for NSW as well as Victoria, FWIW.

Christ, if you're going to include Elliott, may as well drop him for Bradman considering they played a similar number of matches for SA. Would have either of Nobes, Phillips or Hilditch ahead of Elliott in terms of performance for SA in FC matches too (no offence to Matt Elliott; top player, we just got him well past his prime). While we're at it, we'll take Barry Richards too; 6 tons, 1 a double and 1 a triple, in 11 matches in a winning season. Handy.
And if you're going to potentially include Fleming, here's a few guys who played more FC matches for SA who would beat him into the side; Garner, Sobers. At least they played a whole season and, in the case of Sobers, a few......
So, the new side;
Barry Richards
Garry Sobers
Ian Chappell (c)
Don Bradman
David Hookes
Darren Lehmann
Wayne Phillips +
Jason Gillespie
Clarrie Grimmett
Ashley Mallett
Joel Garner
Muuuuuuch better. That batting line-up on the Adelaide Oval deck = slaughter.

TBF Border became a Test player (albeit in the WSC era) whilst a Bluebagger.

Heh, Hookesy wouldn't be much fun either. He was such a prick.That side would never take the field. Imagine Bradman being captained by Chappell - no clashes there at all
Mate of mine was playing in his first season for SA and there they were sitting in the open-air dressing room checking out the chicks. Hookesy leans over and the following convo ensues;
"Hey, check out this one walking up the stairs."
"Yeah, she's hot."
"Would you **** her?"
"Hell yeah!"
"What would you do to her?"
*very dirty conversation about what he would do to said female as she continues walking up the stairs through the member's enclosure, goes through the dressing room door, walks past said mate to Hookesy and kisses him on the cheek*
"Hey daddy."

Nice, Martin Donnelly, the man who has a house at New Plymouth Boys High School for a certain reason playing for your Wellington XI. Poacher.
(OK, he did play for Wellington, but he played for Taranaki (now obv. part of CD) first
)

As are Merchant, Bell, McKay, Parlane, Ryder, Fleming...
Won't count Elliott because it suits my blind support of him to conveniently forget he only chose to be a kiwi two decades after his birth.

Hurry up and make a CD XI so I can tell you how much the Wellington XI is better than it.
Canterbury may have a go at being Wellington's equal though.

Chappell or Hill. Hmmm tough choice, given the different eras.
