BoyBrumby is up.

 

[Somerset]

What did we decide on in the end for a time limit per selection - 12 or 24 hours? I'm happy to go either way with whatever the majority wants.

Sorry, chaps.

Penis (and a wart encrusted one at that) he may be, but he's also a fine bowler: Shoaib Ahktar.

[NUFAN]

Blakus just letting ya know it is your turn.

Hopefully when you post I'm around so I can quickly pick my two and make it your turn again.

 

[Blakus]

Am going to go for Sir RJ Hadlee. Only played 7 tests during the 90's but 35 wickets at an average of 23 and a strike rate of 48 is good enough for me.

 

[NUFAN]

I've ended up picking the most devastating batsman who isn't banned, this man has produced some absolutely stunning performances up the top of the order. He's also a under bowled off spinner. My first choice is Virender Sehwag.

My second pick will be in the next few minutes.

 

[NUFAN]

The fast bowler I've gone for is probably going to be the least experienced player I select throughout this draft.

He's injury prone but when he's on the field he's a match winner, just ask Richard.

Bond, Shane Bond.

 

[Blakus]

Good Picks both Nufan. Am going to pick someone in the same boat as Hadlee.
Malcolm Marshall only played 15 matches but was good enough to take 50 wickets at 23. With him And Hadlee i have the basis of a fantastic attack.
I' don't particularly care that they didn't play much in the 90's as a champion is always a champion.

[NUFAN]

Cheers Blakus, I looked at Marshall who is easily the best bowler overall, but with him not even getting one five-for in the 1990s, I just figured he wasn't quite as dominant as Bond (from 1990 and onwards), despite only playing 3 matches less.

Marshall's wpm in the 90s was only 3.3, which is good, but not Great. Still, he'd be a handy bowler to have.

Still, pick too many more "just made the 90s" players Blakus and we'll be calling your team "dad's army"

 

[Blakus]

Yeah I did think about that. He certainly wasn't as great as he was in the 80's

But honestly the thought of Hadlee an Marshall paired up together just proved to irresistible.

And to stephen. Don't mind that nickname. I'm sure a team called "dads army" won an ashes a few years back quite convincingly.

Even if they were both on the wrong side of 32 they would have been a fearsome combination.

The agony of choice, eh? So many ways I could go, but hard to ignore a bloke with more than 9000 test runs @ better than 54:
