Same here. Melville could probably captain your team as well stphndbsn. Great pick this late in the draft.

 

[watson]

Little known player, but would probably have been a cricketing giant if not for a car accident that left him with a fractured spine.

MELVILLE, ALAN, who died in the Kruger National Park on April 18, 1983, aged 72, was arguably the most elegant batsman of his generation. Those who were lucky enough to see it still remember after 50 years his innings of 114 in two and a half hours for Sussex against the West Indians at Hove in 1933. It was the summer after the body-line tour and the fast bowlers, Griffith and Martindale, assailed him with vicious bouncers. They might have been serving up by request something to amuse him and the spectators. They were mercilessly hooked and, if they pitched the ball up, they were driven. Even granted the placid Hove wicket, it was a remarkable display. Years afterwards, meeting him at Lord's at a time when short-pitched fast bowling was being constantly discussed, I asked him if he had ever ducked to it. He smiled sweetly and said, I don't think so. I think either I hit them or they hit me! From what I saw of him I doubt if he was ever hit by anything that rose high enough to be hooked.

I've absolutely stacked the all-rounders in here... it's a bit of a mess really. Hobbs probably not the best choice looking back. At least I cover a lot of bases with the bowling, unfortunately no players really stand out as destroyers with the ball(though Miller's stats are awesome)
