State Vice-Captain
Maybe you all have seen this, but I thought we could talk about it here....
I was reading the Times recently and Christopher Martin Jenkins is involved there in a very interesting job as a selector.... he is choosing two teams.One is the greatest post war England team which will play five simulated test matches against an all star cast in the greatest post war Rest of the world team.The tests will be played at Lords,Barbados, Cape Town,Eden Gardens and Sydney, all simulated ofcourse.
He has the following till now with players listed in the respective batting order:
England
=======
Len Hutton
Graham Gooch
Ted Dexter
Peter May
Colin Cowdrey
Ian Botham
Alan Knott
Jim Laker
Derek Underwood
(two more places to be filled)
Rest of World
=============
Sunil Gavaskar
Barry Richards
Viv Richards
Brian Lara
Sachin Tendulkar
Gary Sobers
Adam Gilchrist
(Four more slots to be filed in)
The question is who should fill up those positions ?
