Pothas > LHC > Best cricketer ever

 

[jimmy101]

Just heard about what happened to Jesse Ryder... absolutely disgraceful. Let's hope the same fate that befell David Hookes doesn't come to pass for Jesse.

 

[Pothas]

Everton Weekes

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Hanif Mohammad.

Richie Benaud - I was checking the spinners and surprisingly that era produced very few ATG spinners who can make Top 10 ATG teams. Benaud most definitely is one of them.

Going to have some serious batting depth with those bowling all rounders KK. I reckon even though Benaud's batting average is the worst of the 3, he should bat above the other two.

I actually checked their batting performance @ those respective positions and then slotted them accordingly but yeah I may change it @ the last moment.

So who was your original pick for this round?

 

[Blakus]

Nothing so spectacular. Just a simple spelling error

 

[watson]

Just got home from the Royal Easter Show. Will pick in 10 mins..........

 

[watson]

Two of my favourite players - Snow and Kanhai - in the same team is too hard to resist. Plus Kanhai and Harvey at 3 and 4 is pretty formidable.

Rohan Kanhai

And here some footage of John Snow hitting Terry Jenner on the head, and some really great catches in the slips. The Aussie batsman had no idea.

BTW Blakus - Adcock was a superb fast bowler and should be in any South African ATG team as he would eat Shaun Pollock for breakfast.
