Other than @Bevab this draft is now complete.

Thank you to everyone who participated, this has been one of my favourite drafts. Would someone like to do an analysis of the teams?
 
I had thought to pick Devon Malcolm up for my team, but with already Frank Tyson, being the outright pacer in my team. I didn’t need him I think..
 
1.:eng: :bat: Alastair Cook

We'll call that a final batting order for my side - reckon I did alright considering I pretty much just picked players I liked

If you could get them all to actually have a good day at the same time, Malcolm, Harmison and Flintoff would be a terrifying proposition. Of course, there's also the chance that they'll combine for none for 213 from about 40 overs between them

Too good of a cricketer


Never a Test cricketer

I think the only right answer here is Emile McMaster

Come on, we can't just give him the Bradman of England[DOUBLEPOST=1607714084][/DOUBLEPOST]Have some mercy on the rest of us
 
Some of these suggestions. :lol

Apologies for the late pick, I will take Raman Subba Row who may have exited the cricketing stage too early but left an undeniable impact on it with his fine achievements.
