Alrighty, harsh may now select his squad:

John Lyons, Andrew Stoddart, George Giffen, Syd Gregory, Harry Trott, Billy Barnes, Charles Bannerman, Dick Barlow, Bobby Peel, Jack Blackham (+), Johnny Briggs, Charles Kortright, JJ Ferris, Joey Palmer, Thomas Wass, Monty Noble, Gilbert Jessop, Len Braund, Frank Laver, Reggie Schwarz, Jimmy Sinclair, Albert Hopkins, Dick Pilling (+), Bert Vogler, Albert Cotter, Bill Whitty, Jack Saunders, Vijay Merchant, Herbie Taylor, Bill Woodfull, Warren Bardsley, Mushtaq Ali, Charlie Barnett, Bill Brown, Jack Fingleton, Clifford Roach, Eddie Paynter, Maurice Leyland, Patsy Hendren, KS Duleepsinhji, Phil Mead, Douglas Jardine, Archie Jackson, Ernest Tyldesley, Andrew Sandham, Joe Hardstaff, Jack Ryder, Lala Amarnath, Jack Gregory, Frank Woolley, Freddie Brown, Bert Oldfield (+), Bert Strudwick (+), Bill Voce, Hedley Verity, Cyril Vincent, Arthur Mailey, Tich Freeman, Bert Ironmonger, Alfred Hall, Bill Bowes, Manny Martindale, Ernie McCormick, Stewie Dempster, Sid Barnes, Eric Rowan, Bill Edrich, Jeffrey Stollmeyer, Cyril Washbrook, Gerry Gomez, Godfrey Evans (+), Tufty Mann, Ian Johnson, Athol Rowan, Ernie Toshack, Colin McDonald, Jackie McGlew, Imitaz Ahmed (+), Vijay Manjrekar (+), David Sheppard, John Reid, Collie Smith, Roy McLean, Trevor Bailey, Abdul Kardar, John Goddard, John Watkins, John Waite (+), Clive van Ryneveld, Hugh Tayfield, Johnny Wardle, Peter Heine, Khan Mohammad, Brian Statham, Sonny Ramadhin, Subhash Gupte, Tony Lock, Neil Adcock, Alf Valentine, Ghulam Ahmed, Lindsay Kline, Jasu Patel, Don Shepherd, Conrad Hunte, Colin Cowdrey, Graham Dowling, Ian Redpath, Trevor Goddard, Eddie Barlow, Keith Stackpole, Farokh Engineer (+), Bob Cowper, Ted Dexter, MAK Pataudi, Seymour Nurse, Ken Mackay, Chandu Borde, Bapu Nadkarni, Tom Graveney, Saeed Ahmed, Colin Bland, Dilip Sardesai, Intikhab Alam, ML Jaisimha, Bruce Taylor, Rusi Surti, Peter Sainsbury, Dick Motz, Graham McKenzie, Pervez Sajjad, Lance Gibbs, Charlie Griffith, Joe Partridge

Once harsh has selected his squad we will enter the voting phase which will seed the teams into two groups of seven. I will post everyone's squads & ask everyone to rank them from 1 - 14, strongest to weakest. The results of this vote will determine which teams get seeded where, & if there are any teams tied on votes, I will be the tiebreaker.

After that I will create the tournament fixture & trial games will commence.

Tempted to go for a four man spin attack:

Subhash Gupte - Leg Spin
Hugh Tayfield - Off Spin
Tony Lock - SLA
Johnny Wardle - Chinaman

 

[Howe_zat]

Few dominant first class players in there that I'm surprised didn't get picked up. Ponsford, Merchant, Freeman in particular.

Haven't followed the criteria here. Why are FC records important?

 

[Howe_zat]

ICC makes use of them. Not sure how exactly.

Ah. Given that the games are being simmed in England, will the record in England be particularly important?

I wouldn't think so. I find that England tends to serve up a nice balance of all conditions. You'll find flat tracks, spinning decks and and greentops in almost equal measure. The weather also tends to change dramatically in Eng, as opposed to places like Pak & India where, in the game, it's always hot and the pitch is almost always a turner.

All of the games will be played at county grounds across England.

[mr_mister]

So hands off

Oops. My bad I left Ponsford on the list. Sorry, I'll edit it
