The order for the WIs selections will be as follows-
R1- Pick FOUR middle order batsmen
R2- Pick FOUR bowlers for the bowling attack
R3- Pick ONE wicketkeeper
R4- Pick TWO opening batsmen
So, first up is the middle order. Plenty of quality to choose from. Choose four from the list, or add your own, legit, suggestions....
Garry Sobers
Viv Richards
Brian Lara
George Headley
Rohan Kanhai
Frank Worrell
Everton Weekes
Clyde Walcott (will also be included in keeper list if not selected here)
Shiv Chanderpaul
Seymour Nurse
Al Kallicharan
Clive Lloyd
Tough as it is to leave out the "W's", I think you're there with the first four names:
Garry Sobers
Viv Richards
Brian Lara
George Headley
- As featured in The Independent.
"This is not the time for namby-pamby promising youngsters who might just do something; not the time for building for the future. Pragmatism rules and they don't come more pragmatic than Rogers."
- Victor Marks makes the case for stiff-legged and stiff-armed 35 year old left-handers in Ashes squads
Same as above
Oooh... this is going to be a difficult team to pick
Sad that i have to leave out the W's, love Kanhai, Kallicharan, Lloyd and Chanderpaul too (severely underrated), but those first four are ahead of the rest by a decent margin imo...
Sobers
Viv
Lara
Headley
Here come the kings.
Do we only look purely at the batting ability or include all aspects of the player, like captaincy in Clive's case?
Sobers
Lara
Richards
Headley
A lot of quality options for the last spot tbh, but the other three stand out IMO.
4-0
RIP Craig Walsh (Craig) 1985-2012

Yep
Headley

I'd have Walcott ahead of Weekes but I want Walcott batting seven and keeping wicket.
