Inspired by the Pan Pacific Masters and my preference for past cricketers, I thought it would be good to pick a "Realistic" Masters Team from each country
The rules are simple:
(1) The game will be a 40 over ODI
(2) Players must be 40 years old or over
(3) Players must be retired from professional cricket (grade cricket is okay)
(4) Players must be considered capable to play the game for real (e.g. picking an 81 yr old Richie Benaud would be crazy unless he had a motorised cart)
Here's my first crack at an Aussie Masters XI (age has been considered in batting order)
1. Michael Slater - 41
2. Mark Waugh - 46
3. Darren Lehman - 41
4. Steve Waugh - 46
5. Michael Bevan - 41
6. Dean Jones - 50
7. Andy Bichel - 41
8. Ian Healy - 47
9. Simon O'Donnell - 48
10. Craig McDermott - 46
11. Glenn McGrath - 41
Hayden, Gilchrist, Hogg and Warne ineligible due to IPL/Big Bash
