C. T. Studd for me.

His international tallies were kind of doomed by him batting 10 (for some reason) and bowling as the sixth option (for some reason), but he averaged 30 with the bat - in the 1880s - and 17 with the ball in domestic cricket, which makes me confident he can play in my top six.

I'll take Jack Mason for free. 17337 FC runs and 848 wickets is a pretty good bargain.

@Neptune is next

Subramaniam Badrinath for 1 feels like a steal, he really was international quality

Thought about going for another 0 tariff player, there’s 1 in particular I have my eye on who I think may go soon. But nevertheless I’ll risk losing him, to choose Ezra Mosley for my first “spend”, of a princely 7 points.

Adding a truly top class Fast Bowler who played just 2 tests because of his participation in the West Indies Rebel Tours of South Africa.

So I have 2 top class middle order batsmen in Stuart Law and Raman Lamba, and now a genuine new ball threat in Ezra Moseley. Taking shape nicely I think.

@Till Valhalla - you’re up

If I hadn't chosen Studd as strategy, Mosley would have been my pick this round. Solid choice.

This was my thinking here, that he was also likely to go, and he was one of the fewer players of that type I had under consideration
