I can't believe I've only just twigged that a Durham players name is basically just arse.

Love he's the captain, the adult version of the butt. So of course he's in charge.

Cricketer Of The Year
Going off my not-very-successful guess the cricketer from the picture clues attempt, based mostly on nicknames:

Fighter Jets XI
1: WM Lawry (F-4 Phantom II)*
2: MJ Horne (F-18 Hornet)
3: A Turner (Su-17 Fitter)
4: BKG Mendis (F9F Cougar)
5: WB Phillips (Ye-152A Flipper)†
6: JC White (Mig-19 Farmer)
7: FH Tyson (Eurofighter Typhoon)
8: AA Donald (English Electric Lightning)
9: Bill O'Reilly (F11F Tiger)
10: Fred Spofforth (F3H Demon)
11: Doug Bollinger (F-15 Eagle)

Now that's the first 11 I thought of. Appropriately fast bowling heavy, but with a tail too long for the comfort of anyone except NSW. Since Wikipedia tells me that Chanderpaul was also nicknamed 'Tiger', and of course MAK Pataudi was. I'll take out O'Reilly, put one of them 5 and bump everyone else down one.
This is really strong work.
