Line and Length

Cricketer Of The Year
After Teuton has his Round 10 selection we move to our final round (see previous post for restrictions)

Fuller Pilch - Line & Length - anil1405 - Red Hill - Trundler - ataraxia - Teuton - kingkallis

Upon completing your team could you list it in batting order and, as there are a lot of 'lesser lights' it might be a good idea to include their batting and/or bowling averages to help with the judging stage. Additional comments to accompany your team are more than welcome.

Teuton can't pick any more Indians, so I will make my final selection now. I will do a write up with averages tomorrow.

RedHill is picking Poms so I'll take Herbie Collins (!9).

Herbie Collins (19) 1352 runs @ 46.1, 4 100s

Stewie Dempster (10) 723 runs @ 65.7, 2 100s

Stan McCabe (39) 2748 runs @ 48.2, 6 100s

Vijay Hazare (30) 2192 runs @ 47.6, 7 100s

Murray Goodwin (19) 1414 runs @ 42.8, 3 100s

Colin McCool (14) 459 runs @ 35.3, 1 100 / 36 wickets @ 26.6, 3 5 Ws

Don Tallon 21 tests, 394 runs @ 17.1, 2 50s / 50 catches, 8 stumpings

Ryan Harris 27 tests, 113 wickets @ 23.5, 5 Ws

Ted McDonald 11 tests, 43 wickets @ 33.3, 3 5 Ws

Hugh Tayfield 37 tests, 170 wickets @ 25.9, 14 5 Ws

Mohammad Asif 23 tests, 106 wickets @ 24.4, 7 5 Ws

All-star batting, well-balanced and varied pace trio backed up wonderfully by an ATG offie and a reliable leggie. McDonald and Tallon are better known for their long, illustrious FC careers and their short test careers undersell their worth.

Bland - 21 matches, 1669 runs @ 49.08
Fairfax - 10 matches, 410 runs @ 51.25 and 21 wickets @ 30.71
Oram - 33 matches, 1780 runs @ 36.32 and 60 wickets @ 33.05
Kunderan - 18 matches (15 as keeper) 981 runs @ 32.7; 23 catches & 7 stumpings
Clark - 24 matches, 94 wickets @ 23.86
Grimmett - 37 matches, 216 wickets @ 24.21
Martindale - 10 matches, 37 wickets @ 21.72


Very very strong top 5 with a couple averaging over 60 and the greatest fieldsman of all time. Two fine allrounders and an excellent keeper batsman who opened at times give real strength from 6-8. The bowlers include a Glenn McGrath clone, an early West Indian express bowler, the 2 allrounders, some useful part-timers and an ATG leggie who was one of the finest spinners of all time.

Pleasantly surprised to see Kepler Wessels still available and that he only played 40 tests, which gives me a far better opening combo and also strengthens my middle order.

My rules, perhaps, weren't clear enough.

Basically, contestants nominate to have their side based on England or Australia Test players + players from other Test playing nations. They must include either 5 or 6 players from the nominated Ashes playing nation. The Team is then made up of players from non-Ashes playing Test countries with a limit of 2 selections from any one country.
Red Hill, whose team is an England side with additions from non-Ashes playing nations, selected Kepler Wessels. He already had his quota of South African players and is picking a player who played for Australia.
Similarly, ataraxia's team is an Australian side with additions from non-Ashes playing nations but he has selected an England player in Tim Ambrose.

By rights, they should adjust their selections but the fault might be in my wording of rules. I will leave it up to them to adjust their team, if they wish. What do other contestants think?
