[Coronis]

Um, I checked, Tallon only played 70% of his matches after WWII. Otherwise I woulda picked him a round or two ago...

But he played 100% of his Test matches from 1946 to 1953. I think that we're being overly picky if we exclude Don Tallon on the basis of 5% FC matches (assuming that your maths is correct).

Godfrey Evans and Syed Kirmani are better keepers ayway IMO.

Just a thought.

 

[watson]

It's also 9:30pm in the UK and Howe is up next.

 

[Howe_zat]

Doubt there was a player who scored more runs in the era than Baron Cowdrey

 

[Pothas]

Ian Chappell to join his brother, this team is getting awfully Australian.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Martin Donnelly.

 

[Coronis]

Think I'll take good old Irongloves then. Rodney Marsh

 

[watson]

And the irony is - Rod Marsh was going to be one of my next picks lol

Yes, Tallon is fine for selection. Once again I apologise for these flaws.
