ICC Sim League VII

[jimmy101]

I’m taking out Ian Johnson and replacing with Ian McDonald as my second keeper

You can do that if you like, but as I said before, there is no need for a 2nd 'keeper. Injuries are not a factor in this tournament.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I will post my Windies squad soon Jimmy.

Have to deliver milk this morning. (Not classes today).

 

[Jarquis]

I'll take South Africa

1. Bruce Mitchell
2. Jackie McGlew
3. Eric Rowan
4. Dudley Nourse
5. Herbie Taylor
6. Russel Endean
7. John Waite
8. Cyril Vincent
9. Hugh Tayfield
10. Buster Nupen
11. Neil Adcock

12. Alan Melville
13. Roy McLean
14. Tufty Mann
15. Alf Hall

Updated. John Watkins probably most unlucky to miss out.

If there are no other takers, I'll have a bash with NZ.

Leave Ian Johnson in then

Alrighty then. since we might not get any more players than this I'm happy for other people to manage two teams if they wish. Surrey & Pakistan are both up for grabs.

Of course, if anyone else comes along and wants to join you're free to take one of these teams.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I'll take old Surrey as my club team to go with West Indies as always

I have no problem with you taking Surrey. Funny thing is Surrey have exactly 15 players available, so their squad kinda picks itself: Jack Hobbs, Andrew Sandham, Douglas Jardine, Laurie Fishlock, Peter May, Errol Holmes, Percy Fender, Freddie Brown, Arthur McIntyre (wk), Alec Bedser, Jim Laker, Alfred Gover, Tony Lock, Maurice Allom

^ I think that's everyone. You may also top up the squad with non-Test Surrey players, as long as the majority of their career happened between 1928-1953

That leaves us with just Pakistan left.

I'll take Pakistan, let's see if they can break Ireland's futility record

Alright, nice. That's all 12 slots filled. Remember, you can pick Pakistan players from 1952 - 1954. Plus you get Gul Mohammad, free of charge.

Scraping the barrel at the end there, would have liked Mohammad Nissar

 

[morgieb]

What's the rule on any unpicked Victorian/NSW players? Am I allowed to include them in the RoA squad?

So you don't want Gul Mohammad?

Well, considering your team is just 'Australia' now I suppose I could let you choose unpicked NSW/Vic players, after kk posts his squad.

Can't allow you to have Simpson I'm afraid KK, as he debuted in Tests in 1957.

 

[kingkallis]

Yeah he should have access to available resources.
