Will start the voting thread once I have everyone's teams. Thanks for participating everyone

 

[AldoRaine18]

Thanks for running this mate.

 

[jimmy101]

Just one last thing. If everyone, unless you already have done so, could please let me know who your opening bowlers and captain are that would be great. I'm going to create some little icons that will illustrate this once I post the poll to make reading a little easier.

For example: my captain is Learie Constantine & my opening bowlers are Constantine & Khan

 

[AldoRaine18]

The bowling order of my team is indicated with the numbers at the end of the names. Frank Worrell will captain the side.

 

[Michaelf7777777]

Quinn and Kotze will open the bowling for me

 

[fredfertang]

Martindale and Nissar for mine

Thanks guys, just waiting on GirtBySea's final selection & Red Hill to announce who his opening bowlers & captain are & we'll be ready to put this little beast out to pasture.

 

[jimmy101]

Ok, just realised that Red Hill has posted Rusell Endean in his final team. Unfortunately, Endean was already picked by Andy. Instead, Doodles Tapscott was chosen.

As far as I know Tapscott wasn't a wicket-keeper, so you'll need to identify a new 'keeper for your team.

 

[Red]

Oops. Doodles Tapscott is captain and keeper.

Langton and Griffiths to take the new balls before Tayfield takes over.

 

[GirtBySea]

Gus Kempis is my final selection. He and Alfred Hall will be my opening bowlers. Sonny Ramadhin will be my captain.
My XI:
1. Pieter van der Bijl
2. Vic Stollmeyer
3. Rusi Modi
4. Clarence Passailaigue
5. Billy Wade (+)
6. John Reid
7. Vinoo Mankad
8. Nazir Ali
9. Sonny Ramadhin (c)
10. Gus Kempis
11. Alfred Hall
Thanks for organizing jimmy and it was fun playing.

Toward the end of this draft I really had NFI who the players I was selecting or who were being selected were.

Which was cool.

Indeed. I've learnt of at least 10 cricketers whom I'd never heard of before. Basically the reason why I made the selection criteria so limited.

 

[GirtBySea]

Alexander does not qualify in this criteria jimmy. Otherwise I will not say anything else on that lineup. When do we go to the votes?

 

[jimmy101]

Nice spot there! I will replace him with Ivan Barrow, als from the West Indies.

The poll is now open...
