    Time to look at 3 spinners and their views. JIM LAKER My Childhood Bowling Hero: Hedley Verity, Yorkshire’s wizard of spin whose left-arm deliveries could trick and trap the greatest of batsmen on the easiest of wickets. When I was eight, I had a magical day out at Headingley when I watched...

    It's interesting that Godfrey Evans makes one of the few references to Don Bradman in these interviews. He highlights The Don's concentration and I recall reading that this was one of Bradman's greatest strengths.

    It's interesting how often the names V. Richards and D.Lillee crop up in these interviews. I guess it's a reflection of that era. Having Garfield Sobers mentioned so often is not at all unexpected. Good to see Wes Hall getting a nod. He also impressed me at a younger (but not childhood) age.

    Three All-Rounders make up today's post. IMRAN KHAN My Childhood Hero: When I was a young boy growing up in Pakistan I considered cricket exclusively a batsman’s game. I idolized both my cousins Majid Khan and Javed Burki. I had the thrill of seeing Javed score a fine century against the MCC at...

    It's interesting that Kim Hughes chooses Imran in preference to Lillee as the perfect bowler. I wonder if the treatment he received when captain is a factor. Or perhaps he's a good judge.

    Thanks for that. I will stick to my original tactic of picking players with good WC finals records as well as checking their overall T20i records for assurance.

    T20 World Cup Finals Draft

    Selecting players based on T20I careers rather than just T20 WC semi finals and finals makes this trickier. Already we have 2 or 3 excellent performers in T20I games without good/great performances in WC finals being selected.
