Now the next stage is the sim, the bit lots of us have been looking forward to. Marc was keen to help out here, but we should obviously establish the rules and format first.

Country tallies
England- 79
Australia- 76
West Indies- 38
South Africa- 31
Pakistan- 24
India- 24
New Zealand- 13
Sri Lanka- 8
Zimbabwe- 3
Bangladesh- 1

A to Z completed. I think that deserves a bit of a......

 

[Jager]

Only took us three months! P.S since England got the most players in... are they the best test nation?

 

[watson]

Do you really want me to answer that?

No because their players selected to total number of test players ratio is not the best

 

[Dan]

Only took us three months! P.S since England got the most players in... are they the best test nation?

They've selected 200 more players

17.76% of Australian cricketers were selected, compared to 12.11% of the English.

Congrats Nufan, and Jager and rvd who helped as well.

 

[Jager]

We forgot Bob Cowper. Would have placed well for sure, IMO...

Good point - how about we do one last team - if someone could produce a list of the players in the 26 teams, and those suggested but not picked at the end, in alphabetical order, perhaps it would be interesting to do a team from those who never even got a mention?

...... which, thankfully, rules out Colin Miller

 

[Jager]

Any names that spring to mind that we have missed? A forgotten XI would be interesting

A few, but I cba to wade through all the teams to check which is why I was hoping one of you guys had a spreadsheet and could just cut and paste an alphabetical list

 

[Dan]

Give me an hour and I'll update my Excel document to alphabetically list each of the players & their team.

Sounds good rvd. I messaged marc and NUFAN to see if they're still keen on organising the sim as well. Some really great combinations of players I have to say, I might do a write up on each team now while I watch the footy.

 

[Dan]

FMD it's tedious going through and assigning the right letter to them all. 297 players in all.

EDIT: Done with a minute to spare..

 

[Jager]

Cheers rvd. Wait until we have to gather the standardised averages for ITC

 

[fredfertang]

The names that I can immediately come up with are Bill Edrich, Trevor Bailey, Alan Lamb, Bev Congdon, Jeremy Coney, Mudassar Nazar, Mohsin Khan, Mohamad Nissar, Lala Amarnath and both Pataudis
