The first leg spinner - don't really understand why none of the usual sources make reference to that

6 centuries and 7 fifties at an average of 44 against the Windies during the 1980s isn't too bad at all. Plus one of only a handful of Indian batsman to average close to 50 in England - Dilip Vengsarkar.

Was considering Jack Fingleton for being the first dude to score 4 tons in 4 consecutive tests, and Ijaz Ahmed for scoring a bunch of tons against Warne/McGrath, but I like Cullinan here to beef up the attack. Was pretty miserable against Pak and Australia, but only played 12 matches total against them anyway. Very, very solid against everyone else.

Solid batting right up until Shahid, who had a pretty decent test record with the bat compared to other forms. One exceptional quickie in Asif, two talents in Phlegm and Boult, and 2 decent spinners. Armstrong to bring in good hustle and good all round performances. Jardine to captain as he's shown himself to be a shrewd man. Stewart is doing the thing the England coaches didn't like him doing, keeping and opening at the same time! But England's winning record in the 90s doesn't help their case for it being a good decision. I'm happy with this team

Remarkable really just how many fine players there have been - the other three I was agonising over for my last choice were Frank Foster, Basil D'Oliveira and Majid Khan - there must be plenty more - if others could chip in perhaps we could also put in a team of unpicked for the voting thread?

Perhaps I should clarify my comment - not suggesting he was the first ever leggie, rather the first to bowl it in a Test, back in 1880 in the fourth ever Test

This was one of the most amazing draft we have played in recent times and it literally flew. Thanks for this draft Red Hill.
I am pretty happy with my team here. From 1 to 11, I never had to compromise on a single thing. Good openers, solid middle order, amazing all-rounders, pace, spin, controlled medium pace and good wicket keeper.
So lets take a look at the team:
