I thought Hanif Mohammad's record was better, still Eds has got a bargain. Can't help but feel I picked my openers a bit early, although then again Boycott and Greenidge is a pretty awesome pair

 

[Spikey]

1. Geoff Boycott
Gordon Greenidge
Ian Chappell (*)
Lindsay Hassett
Vijay Hazare
Adam Gilchrist (+)
Ian Botham
(x)
Harold Larwood
Bob Willis
Clarrie Grimmett

still not sure if X will be a batsman or bowler

 

[Himannv]

Godfrey Evans

 

[Somerset]

Godfrey Evans

Well, the risk I took not selecting my wicketkeeper this round clearly didn't pay off...

 

[Himannv]

Well, the risk I took not selecting my wicketkeeper this round clearly didn't pay off...

I had a feeling he wouldn't last till my turn so I decided to grab him a round early and hope my other target manages to stay unpicked.

 

[Blakus]

Vinoo Mankad. Allows me to pick an all time great keeper in the final round

1.Eddie Barlow*
2.Vijay Merchant
3.Greg Chappell
4.Denis Compton
5.Mahela Jayawardene
6.Martin Crowe

Good side if you get a quality keeper. But why is Barlow the captain ahead of Jayawardene?

 

[Blakus]

I want a captain who wants to be captain. From what little I've read and heard about Barlow, he was considered an excellent captain. With regards to Jayawardene I quite like his captaincy but I get the feeling he doesn't want it.

Give him your side and he'll like it

 

[Himannv]

Chappell could be captain as well if needed.

That's because he doesn't get paid, tbf. Also, I hear the Blakus Cricket Board is a lot easier to work with than SLC.

 

[Spikey]

the Blakus Cricket Board is just a giant ponzi scheme

Haha, I was prepared to include one token youngster in the XI.
