Test cricket draft: 1877-1938

[Red]

Indeed. Short test career but took a lot of wickets in that short time. Backed it up with his first class career also. 6+wickets per game in each format.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Ted McDonald

Good call. Closest thing to a Diet Statham.

 

[Coronis]

Bert Oldfield.

 

[Pothas]

Bill Woodfull.

 

[Himannv]

Colin Blythe

 

[LongHopCassidy]

I'll go with Maurice 'Steve Smith' Leyland.

 

[Howe_zat]

How dare you

 

[watson]

I'll go with Maurice 'Steve Smith' Leyland.

Exceptionally bad hair cut, but a cool player none-the-less. The English version of Allan Border.

[Himannv]

Morgieb goes to the end of the list. It's actually bagapath's turn although I think LHC can probably pick as well due to the time that's gone.

 

[bagapath]

JJ Ferris

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Many thanks to Monk for working out the next order. WAFG.

Second opener to be Warren Bardsley. Extra drama as he was once deliberately run out by Trumper because Vic thought he should give someone else a go after reaching 100.

Also carried the worrying habit of signing his own junk.

Current mob:

1. Warren Bardsley
2. Victor Trumper
3. Smitteh
4.
5.
6. The Big Ship*
7.
8.
9.
10. The Demon
11. Hugh "better than Barnes" Trumble

 

[Himannv]

Eddie Paynter

 

[Pothas]

Bert Ironmonger.
