Yeah the 7th team is good, but its wrong since they picked Miandad and he was already selected.

I totally forgot McGrath and Hammond, easy to do I guess. Also on the big quote, replace Waqar from the 5th team and put Walsh in his place.

Done. Took the liberty of altering the batting order too :P Somehow I don't think Walsh would be batting above anyone

Amazing to see Hammond and Weekes (severly under rated on CW) below Compton, Abbas, Macartney, Barrington, and to a lesser extent Paynter, Lloyd and Harvey. Hammond should never be lower that a 3 XI and Weekes was a colossus who was leg theory targeted in Australia and subsequently sustaining a deabilitating thigh injury where he walked to the crease with it shot full of novacaine which gradually wasted away during the second part of his career which eventually led to a permanent indentation in his leg and severly affected his foot work there after. Barrington on the other hand was a stonewaller who actually was once dropped for scoring too slowly.

I think Hammond, Weekes and McGrath being rated so lowly was down to forgetfulness TBH.

Personally I have my reasons for rating Hammond lower than most, and the same goes for Weekes, but they're still worthy being up there.

For Mcgrath and Hammond possibly, but Sir Everton is just not rated very highly here and is constantly rated below Compton and Barrington in particular which I just cant comprehend.
