Going to tentatively put forward for CD (I'm no expert at all pre-90s for them)

1. Stewie Dempster | New Zealand Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | Cricinfo.com (F off Athlai :p)
2. Craig Spearman | New Zealand Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | Cricinfo.com *
3. Mathew Sinclair | New Zealand Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | Cricinfo.com *

10. Richard Collinge | New Zealand Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | Cricinfo.com
11. Arthur Cresswell | New Zealand Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | Cricinfo.com *

Players in asterics are that way because I don't know if there's someone better (Spearman), have no idea how they'll go (Sinclair) or didn't play much (Cresswell).

We all make mistakes.

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.

The canterbury one is going to be nasty. Bond and Hadlee opening the bowling for a start followed by Cairns.

Dempster, Crowe, Ryder and Collinge all being blatant steals. Pretty weak attack yet a rather strong domestic batting lineup, sums up CD really.

As I said, it was a tentative line up.

Athlai, stop being a hypocrite. :p

Jack Cowie never played for Wellington either, so if I'm not allowed Ryder, then you can press backspace on half your team. :p

Also noticed I wrote down Dempster instead of Donnelly. Bugger. Going to come back and edit that side.

Always disappointing to see Bulfins name. I thought it a major compliment when I was 18 and I was classed as the fastest pro in my league along with Bulfin and 'The Dentist" Maynard. Turns out it wasnt much of a complimrnt at all :@

Who picked Larsen? :p

Bartlett will tear that Wellington/CD/Canterbury/Auckland batting order of yours to pieces. And thats not counting the other bowlers. :p

Dropping him for the guy who ended up leading your attack, says a lot.:ph34r:

Stu Duff | Cricket Players and Officials | Cricinfo.com
Lance Hamilton | New Zealand Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | Cricinfo.com

Lance Hamilton and Stu Duff added to the squad. I don't think I'll pick Bulfin. When I feel like procrastinating from study some more I'll sort my eleven out.

Thats one meaty batting line up. How come Turner bats three and Blunt opens out of interest?

Surprisingly good record. Thought he was mediocre at FC level then saw his record. Was like "Oh no, he might actualy be worth picking in the squad, CD aren't that bad at bowling are we?"

I'd add Bulfin in to add another personality clash to Crowe and Sinclair though.:ph34r:

That allrounder ain't too bad. Oram would still cruise in ahead though.

Need to find some sort of list that has all the players sorted by team. Besides the current lot and old NZ greats that I can check to see who they've played for if we had to pick a squado f 20 I'd be screwed. Probably have Diamanti or Sulzberger in there. :p

I should try and make a Taranaki one. Lets see, Donelly, Pinga, How, Ebrahim, Sulzberger, some really old 30s fast bowler that isn't even listed on cricinfo because I don't even think CD was formed then...uh oh:p

Who are the other CD fans around here? Does Sportychic know her history unlike me?

Remember in a book Ian Smith wrote he talked in a chapter about CD players that never went on to test level despite being awesome. I'm going to find it when I get home for the holidays.

My half assed go at Cants, wonderful side really
1) John Wright
2) Graham Dowling
3) Stephen Fleming
4) Bev Congdon (or Astle)
5) Donelly (or Astle)
6) Bruce Taylor (or McMillan)
7) Chris Cairns
8) Ken Wadsworth (+)
9) Sir Richard Hadlee
10) Shane Bond
11) Dick Motz

Could also throw in Tom Burtt or Stephen Boock for some spin but the pace attack is so good that I'd rather not tbh. Could probably get rid of a batsman considering Paddles is at 9 and chuck Burtt in there instead.

4) John F Reid
5) Scott Styris
6) Dipak Patel
7) Ian Smith
8) John Bracewell
9) Martin Snedden
10) Chris Martin
11) Danny Morrison

Notable exceptions
Willie Watson
Jeff Crowe

For the Auckland Team I'd probably bring in Jim Laker and another batsman for the two spinners mentioned amd for the Cantabs I'd be tempted to bring in Michael Holding for Motz
