Is Klaasen classified as a current player?
(Not being mean, just asking)

He's retired from international cricket. So no he shouldn't be

 

[kingkallis]

Is Klaasen classified as a current player?

He retired so I guess he should be fine.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Okay, no worries. I wasn't sure if players who were still playing T20s etc. could still be picked

 

[Line and Length]

Klassen's last Test was in 2023, so I wouldn't consider him a current Test player.

Are Nimbalkar and Walcott supposed to share the gloves or something?

The most predictable pick possibly..

What can I say, he is jointly my favourite player ever, alongside Trumper, oh and Barlow close 3rd.

 

[Thala_0710]

The idea of your favourite ever player playing 100 years before you're born would sound weird on every other place in the world bar CW

 

[ataraxia]

Ben Brown again please.

 

[Line and Length]

There were a couple of names I thought might come up in the '0' category.

Shane Warne rated Darren Berry highly saying, "Darren Berry up to the stumps has probably been the best keeper that I've ever seen in my time ... I really wish he did get the opportunity to show how good a keeper he was, with a baggy green cap playing for Australia." Standing up to the stumps, Berry once made a leg-side stumping off paceman Paul Reiffel.

Jamie Siddons scored 11,587 FC runs at an average of 44.91, mostly in Shield cricket. Strangely he represented his country just once - scoring 32 in an ODI.

It appears all teams are now complete. Once @ataraxia has finalised his batting order, I can start a voting thread.

Many thanks tor all participants - particularly those who helped by picking up my occasional errors.

I hope you enjoyed this thread as much as I did conducting it.

I normally do but it's a stretch tbh. His FC batting record is a bit crap. (Although 106 not outs, Imran eat your heart out!)
