No spuds, no guns, just so much mediocrity that I couldn't describe my team in any detail without boring myself.

 

[the big bambino]

Chris Harris

Tom Moody (5)
Rameez Raja
Ken Rutherford
Neil Fairbrother
Keith Arthurton
Arjuna Ranatunga *
Chris Harris (3)
Wally Grout +
Brendan Julien (2)
Mervyon Dillion (1)
Peter Such (4)

A really good side in the context. Tom Moody is just the quintessential selection. His career ranged from brown to beige.

i'll take the mighty whitey of the 438 game, the only non hall in the team to fall for single digits, Boeta Dippenaar, to finish it all off

I dont even know who my first X players were.. But I believe I am still to select a spinner and I will pick Laxman Sivaramakrishnan. The best mediocre side needs a leggie who can win you games on dustbowls but get carted everywhere else.

will do a voting thread on sat and leave it open for a week after that

 

[Teuton]

So are we using Howe's suggestion of ranking every team then the 5th ranked team overall wins is deemed most mediocre and wins?

(Probably excluding our own team too)

 

[Howe_zat]

Might be a bit of an ask. Asking people for a top 2/3 and bottom 2/3 could do the same job

 

[Shady Slim]

so we could do like

1. 3pts
2. 2pts
3. 1pt
-
7. 1pt
8. 2pts
9. 3pts

and then the person with the least points wins?

 

[Howe_zat]

yup
