found a site that has a listing of all players who have played international cricket broken down into tabs by letter but it has done it by their christian name not their surname which is a bit stupid

we'll end up having to do teams based on middle names until ginger finds a way to get bopara into a team ;)

Any other thoughts on the Alderman, Anderson, Akhtar, Asif positions?

Or Warwick Armstrong?

Marvan Attapatu probably not good enough.

i'd be tempted to go with akhtar

in that side with 5 genuine bowlers you could manage his workload and use him in short bursts to get the best out of him and that raw pace transfers best to all conditions imo

Cracked Akhtar for Crocked Alderman.

I thought Alderman averaged low twenties actually, but it's actually 27. Still, only five bowlers have taken more than 40 wickets in a series, and he did it twice.

I'd probably prefer Shoaib, and Jimmy over Alderman.

Are we locking this in as our completed A team?


Seems to be a consensus for Akhtar for Alderman. Good team, and will prove hard to beat. Should be good in Asia.

We moving onto B now 365?

365 has gone missing.

So bad is my insomnia, I've done up to H in my head.
