International Vice-Captain
Think that's a time-out from honestbharani, and since I don't have any clashes with him or watson (and won't be online for a bit):

Tom Richardson (1877-1900)
Joe Root (2000-date)

Very happy with this team. Could have gone the predictable third express bowler, but there is already enough fire-power with Marshall and Waqar opening the bowling. So Mahmood to bowl his leg-cutters with pin point accuracy it is. Engineer standing-up to Mahmood, Lohmann, and Woolley would be brilliant to watch.


01. Graeme Smith* (2002)
02. Bill Ponsford (1924)
03. George Headley (1930)
04. Brian Lara (1990)
05. Neil Harvey (1948)
06. Frank Woolley (1909)
07. Farokh Engineer + (1961)
08. Malcolm Marshall (1978)
09. George Lohmann (1886)
10. Fazal Mahmood (1952)
11. Waqar Younis (1989)

Gotta bat Lara at 3 and break up all those lefties there Watson.. Otherwise, solid solid effort. :)
Most other teams will probably have all right-handers at 4-5-6, so it's not really an issue. It's about quality, not quantity. Besides, whose to say Ponsford or Headley won't bat through anyway?
