PS: Didn't know much about Arthur Richardson before, but seems very unlucky to me to have not made any team yet as a genuine all rounder

Yeah, just looked him as well. Flew under my radar, probs better than Mitch.

It's a different Arthur Richardson, but 159 FC matches as a specialist batsman with no ton is impressive.

You always try to manipulate others.

You always try to manipulate others.

Others are free to comment as much as I am, and many have done so previously.

But tbt, if I had to run this excercise from the very beginning ever again, the only change I will make is voting last. I initially thought doing so gives me too much power, but it can be infact argued that the 1st vote gets a bit manipulative.

If you vote last though, participation will likely fall off as well

Because Carey exists. He's actually a better wk imo than some full time keepers these days (ahemmm ummm Pant ahenmmm). And a pretty handy bat of course
