Well, I’m gonna make my first biggish spend. I need someone to fill the dual role of captain and top class spinner, and there’s nobody better to fill that position than Richie Benaud.

His value as a decent lower order batsman also prevents me from having too long a tail.

27 points used for Richie, 34 overall, 66 left.

Delighted with how this team is shaping up.

Gilbert Jessop (16,30)

The "Croucher" (so named for his somewhat odd stance) was one of the most exciting players of his, or any era. A fast bowler good enough to be selected for England purely in this role, a superlative cover fielder, Jessop is best remembered for his thrilling batsmanship.

This might turn into England/County XI , with 2 overseas players so far.
