Yeah I actually only checked his cricinfo profile on the off chance that he was pre-39 as I assumed he would have been taken if so

 

[morgieb]

Sutcliffe

 

[nikkoo]

[Camo999]

Fred Spofforth & Learie Constantine to join

George Headley
Dudley Nourse
Jack Gregory
Sydney Barnes

 

[Jager]

Dudley Nourse shame the war tore his career in half.

 

[ankitj]

One of my favourites too. He was superb based on what I have read. Much heroism just like Greame Pollock in a short career.

That leaves me with a double pick - ending R4 and starting R5 (not ideal, I know, but it's what the randomiser gave me :|). Apologies for my lateness; I've been home for a grand total of 3 hours in the past two days.

I'll go with the pairing of Monty Noble and Bruce Mitchell to join my XI.

1. Bruce Mitchell

4. Walter Hammond
