Nice work on the teams, looking good. Miandad for Peter May or Phil Mead IMO, and Vaas into the U/V team. Funny how the V team only has leftie medium-fasts and spinners.

I'd drop Wright, move Worrell to opener, promote Walcott to 4 and give Wasim Bari the gloves. The extra batting that you would get from Walcott without the gloves would make up for the deficit left by picking a specialist keeper and having someone good behind the stumps to keep to Warne, Wasim and Waqar is very important IMO. I'd also probably play Walsh over WIllis.

Corrected the leaving out obvious people bits.

Javed Miandad is eleigible for the J's not the M's

David Ironside shows the lack of quality quicks the I's have

I considered Wasim Bari but I think that I'd get more out of Walcott behind the stumps

Asif Iqbal has to be a better choice in any department of the game.

In the S team, you have a whole clutch of Singhs and Sharmas to choose from. For e.g. Harbhajan Singh.

Mark Ilott, 633 wickets for Essex (and five Tests) might have been an option, although tbf Ironside, who played three times for South Africa in the 50s, took his fc wickets at a better average. Surely the only Test cricketer to have been born in Mozambique?
