Chronological Chain Draft(Test Cricket)

Line and Length

Line and Length

International Coach
@manoftommorow thanks for lodging my final selection and for running this interesting draft.

My final line-up:

Len Hutton
Sid Barnes
Ted Dexter 6
Walter Hammond 7
Dennis Compton 8
Trevor Goddard 5
Richie Benaud (c) 4
Alan Davidson 2
Godfrey Evans (w/k)
Peter Heine 3
Neil Adcock 1

Formidable opening pair followed by batting depth down to #9.
Adcock (104w @ 21.11) and Heine (58w @ 25.09) were a feared combination in tandem with ATG Davidson completing a fine pace trio.
Skipper Benaud provides the spin option with Compton's left-arm wrist spin an option.
Plenty of all-round back-up in Goddard, Dexter and Hammond.
Goddard usually opened but the batting strength pushes him down the list where he has batted before.
