This round is really tricky. I wish I knew which team combinations I'm going to get in rounds 9 and 10! Life would have been so easier in this round had I known that!

Pleased to get Merchant, such a great talent as proved on his two tours to England where he scored stacks and stacks of runs. If only he didn't lose the majority of his international career to the war and ill health.

Eddie Barow
Vijay Merchant
Frank Worrell*

Richard Hadlee
Ray Lindwall

Love Ganguly. The basis of a good side there, IMO of course. And definitely a side I'd pay to watch.
