Gawd no, watching Bowler would be dull enough, not having that bloke in too. Unless we were playing a great West Indies side then you pick him of course, presumably as they did back then as punishment for his ugly technique.

Was between him and Such, and I already had two crims in the side which was quite enough thanks.. If it was an ODI side I suppose there'd be no choice, but Such's Test bowling better.

Kirsten and Pollock worth considering?

Ah, those are good shouts, may have overlooked them.
Pollock in for Martin. Improves batting and bowling, no I'm not dropping Trego. Both hit by Saffies ban rather hard, Kirsten definitely had his best years behind him when Tests came along, ahh sod it put him in for Bowler, and no I'm not dropping Denning either as it's my team.
Looks a decent seam attack at least now, not a bad middle-order either. Actually Richardson should be opener and Kirsten down the order.

None called 'Jesus' though I'm guessing. If cricket were played in Latin America it would be a different matter. Recent footie headline in the Times: "Can Jesus help Pep to avoid a first season without a trophy?" The sub-editor was having a bit of a larf there, I suspect..

The English version of Jesus is Joshua. That could help!

Good point.. He can actually pick Isa Guha in his side. Isa is the Hindi form of Jesus.

Whatever it takes!!!
Eesa is Tamil and Sanskrit for Lord Shiva. Not sure how far the meaning is off by in Bengali or Hindi.
