Cricket draft 1945 -1977

[fredfertang]

FF - thats a serious claim! Greatest ever?

'twas the excitement of the moment - if pushed I'll concede that Waqar in his all too brief pomp was the best

 

[jimmy101]

Bishan Bedi

 

[watson]

Himannv times out.

 

[Coronis]

Jeff Thomson. Ugh Fazal was my next pick.

 

[kingkallis]

Howe < LHC < ME

Himmanv can pick anytime!

 

[kingkallis]

I have this doubt that either Howe or Himmav will pick my player...

 

[watson]

Howe times out.

 

[kingkallis]

LHC > KingKallis > Blakus

Himmanv & Howe can pick anytime.

 

[watson]

LHC times out in one hour.

 

[Blakus]

Should of expected things to slow down over Easter. Might of been wise to have a hiatus

 

[bagapath]

Noooooooooooooo!

That's alright. KK is around and Andy is generally reliable, so I am more likely to get the player I would like for my next pick.

Still expected someone to have chosen a player after being out all day on a Sunday drive though.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Sorry about the delay. Lance Gibbs.

[kingkallis]

Yeah I am happy with my team but lets see how I can shape it up from here on.

 

[Blakus]

Much to my delight Allan Border made his first class debut in January 1977, 2 months before the cut off date.

1.
2.
3.Viv Richards
4.Allan Border
5.
6.
7.Alan Knot
8.Joel Garner
9.
10.
11.Neil Adcock

 

[kingkallis]

Errrmmmmm, I kept my eyes on International debuts only cause I thought FC debuts didnt count.

 

[Blakus]

Also, a few rules. Firstly, selected players must have made their DEBUT during this era, however, to allow some of the pre-WWII titans into the fold I will accept pre-WWII players who played 75% of their overall matches during this era. This means that players such as Len Hutton, Lindsay Hassett, Cyril Washbrook, Dudley Nourse and Denis Compton will be allowed whereas players such as Don Bradman, Wally Hammond and George Headley cannot be selected.

Secondly, players who never played in a Test Match but played First Class cricket are allowed to be selected. This means that South African players who were affected by the Apartheid boycott, such as Clive Rice and Garth Le Roux, are up for grabs.

Finally, the 17th of March, 1977, is the cut off date for players as that was when the Centenary Test ended.

Any questions?

From the first page. The bit I've bolded indicates that It's first class debuts. Of course if jimmy101 says otherwise I'll change my pick
