How the **** did no one pick him till now? He would've gone in round 6 if someone else had picked Lindsay.

Surely it's not that shocking.

Long batting lineup FTW. Think my lineup isn't all that great overall though.

 

[mr_mister]

Karl Schneider, who according to some sources probably would have been a staple of Australia's 1930s batting order if not for an early death ala Archie Jackson


Bill Brown
Don Tallon +
George Headley *
Joe Hardstaff Jnr
Karl Schneider
Gilbert Jessop 6
Learie Constantine 4
Tibby Cotter 3
Manny Martindale 2
Jack Cowie 1
Bert Ironmonger 5

So anyone who hasn't finished their team can do so now. Please remember to post your final batting order here if you havent done so already.

Tallon opening the batting? did he ever?

Tallon opening the batting? did he ever?

Apparently in a few first class games including on the '48 tour.

Im not sure if Scheidner was an opener or middle order, potentially a better choice


I found this

http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/...m-vs-australia-australia-tour-of-england-1948

But that game didn't have FC status as it was only 2 days. But yeah Don Tallon opening and playing as a specialist bat. Saggers took the gloves. Odd

 

[Red]

Tim Zoehrer to finish the team off.

Barry Richards
Jimmy Maher
Brad Hodge
Duleep
David Hookes

Schneider batted 4 in the the two unofficial Tests they played against New Zealand.

 

[mr_mister]

Interesting. Another cool thing about Scheidner was that his 6 FC centuries were against 6 different teams. The five other shield sides when he was playing for SA, and Canterbury over in NZ

Cool little stat

Pretty happy with my top order and middle order but I am more excited about my bowling attack that consists of Sylvester Clarke, Wayne Daniel, Gubby Allen and quality spinners like Peel and Faulkner. Super disciplined and talented Jennings to make sure that we dont miss out on catches or stumping.
