I'll kick the voting off by awarding JOJOXI 3 points (a well balanced line-up with some big names; kingkallis 2 points (Hobbs is the key) and trundler 1 point (I like the middle order).

Thanks again to all participants and well done. It certainly wasn't easy filling the final spots.

JOJOXI wins easily for me: 3 points.
Charter 77 gets 2 points, trundler 1 point (very close battle for 3rd).

I will try to select in the next 24 hours, a few players that I will need to look into a bit more
 

JOJOXI

International Vice-Captain
Trundler - The batting especially is very strong and a nice opening bowling pair - 3pts

Michaelf7777 - A solid if unspectacular opening pair (at least from afar). A nice middle order and a strong bowling attack aided by Peel and star man Sydney Barnes - 2pts

Fuller Pilch - the smaller names seem to have very good records and the side has depth in bowling options and pretty solid batting- 1pt

With kingkallis AWOL, I declare JOJOXI the worthy winner of this draft.

The final voting: 25 - JOJOXI; 12 - Trundler; 8 - Michaelf7777777; 4 - Fuller Pilch; 2 - kingkallis, Andrew B; 1 - ataraxia; 0 - L & L.

I honestly thought that a side with 2 bats (Ranjit & Fry) with FC averages > 50, an ATG all rounder (Faulkner) and 5 bowlers whose Test average was < 25 and who collectively took 9,737 FC wickets @ 16.6 might have attracted a vote.

Ah well. Back to the drawing board and a big "Well done" to JOJOXI and thanks to everyone.

Thank you Fuller Pilch and thanks to Line and Length, especially for running this draft - a unique but fun and educational one. Was close to voting for your side L&L, very much liked the top 3 and Faulkner but preferred other sides as a whole but difficult to judge with it being an era I'm not too knowledgable about outside leading names
