Draft suggestion: Passengers XI

[fredfertang]

Yeah, we will easily concede 500 runs on any damn track.

My top order then will make sure that we are 5 down before reaching 100.

A worrying middle order though - any one of them might buck the trend, just occasionally

Even Zimbabwe and Bangladesh produced some upsets so I have to live with that.

I am trying to pick players who actually 'were' passengers alongside some really amazing teammates.

Owner of most runs off an over Robin Peterson

Ken Rutherford

 

[Starfighter]

I always found it rather suggestive of New Zealand's perpetual struggle for quality that a batsman with such an appalling record played so long, and was captain too.

 

[Howe_zat]

At the risk of giving the side some batting depth, I'll have consummate norounder David Capel

[AndrewB]

A correction to kingkallis's total below - I think my script to calculate the W-L number got confused between the two JP Duminys who have played for SA (I'm assuming he's picking the modern one). Sorry about that.

I'll pick Bill Playle, whose record for NZ in the 1958 tour of England (4, 8, 1, 3, 0, 18, 15, 1, 6) is statistically the worst for a batsman who played an entire 5-match series.

I'm gonna be unable to get back to this draft for a day or so

PM Andrew your pick and assuming Jimmy and I don't go for it he can do it for you

 

[jimmy101]

Xavier Marshall, someone who really shouldn't have been playing Tests.

 

[fredfertang]

I shall have to think about my next pick, but it won't be Dinesh Karthik, who I might as well tell you now is the pick TBP has asked me to make for him for this round

 

[Howe_zat]

If it's a keeper you're after, pick one of Parthiv Patel and Tim Zoehrer. I'm torn between them.

 

[fredfertang]

A great favourite of mine, but not really up to Test standard I'm afraid
