Nicholls plays for NZ, did you mean Bavuma? [edit - read the last line too late before posting]
Shadhab Khan does not belong in your team. He will shine.

I reckon he had Bavuma in there originally, then edited it to Nicholls before posting but forgot to edit the team in brackets.

Think he meant in terms of their bowling, not batting, i.e the bowling equivalent of this thread. Would be a good separate thread.

We can do that thread in 24 hours when this loses traction.
Mark Wood is my early choice without thought.

Didn't know who to put. One of the new batsman or Faheem maybe.

Your number 6 raises more questions for me - who sucks more Mitch Marsh, Mitch Santner or Hardik?
I think you're being too harsh on Hardik.

Dude, NZ tolerates crappiness but even Santner upsets the locals at 6.

He was only picking one from each team though; can't pick Marsh or Santner if Burns and Nicholls are already playing.

The idea was not to repeat countries and to make sure we have the worst player regardless of role. MMarsh is definitely better than Burns and I think Santner is more valuable than Nicholls.

I'd say Moeen is currently available for selection in this, but best snap him up in case that changes

People really aren't liking this latest code update.
"Your avatar is too emotional."
"You read my thoughts too well."
After years of being told I was too cold and misread intent, you'd think these things would be seen as improvement.

Keaton Jennings did make a ton in India (on debut? not sure) so I reckon if he's the worst we've ever had we'd be in better shape
Neil Fairbrother, despite being a good one-day player, made one fifty in 10 tests, spread across 6 years. He averaged 15.
Noted eejit Wayne Larkins just scraped past an average of 20 in his 13-match career, with a high score of 63.
Worcestershire stalwart Don Kenyon, never really made the step up to Tests, playing 8 for his average of 12.80.
Despite being described by cricinfo as "An elegant, stylish batsman who promised much", Frank Hayes played 9 tests in the mid 70s and averaged 15.
And finally Geoff Cook, notably more successful off the field than on it, following a Test batting career of 7 matches, average 15 and high score 66.

I think he just meant currently. But hijacking the thread along this line would probably be more fun, so lets do that.

Go for it. Extra points for modernism, though.
Open floor - but no tailenders.
See if you can beat Ken Rutherford and Jeff Crowe of a #2 ranked team. That is the challenge if you go old school.
Trevor Franklin is the ace up my sleeve.
