Transfers Window Legends At Battle XII | Pre-season - Late action is still better than no action at all

[VC the slogger]

This is provisional unless you're alright with it in which case I'll stick with this squad.

George Headley (20s)
Everton Weekes (40s)
Clive Lloyd (60s)
Viv Richards (70s)
Brian Lara (90s)
Chris Gayle (00s)

Clyde Walcott (40s)

Garfield Sobers (50s)

Manny Martindale (30s)
Lance Gibbs (50s)
Joel Garner (70s)
Malcolm Marshall (80s)
Courtney Walsh (80s)
Curtley Ambrose (90s)
Sunil Narine (10s)

Looks alright I guess, although I can't help but think you'd get infinitely better results with Headley if you were to select him from the 30s when he was an unstoppable demigod-like batsman averaging close to 70 at Test level rather than the 20s when he was still uncapped but averaging 70+ at domestic FC level (which frankly wasn't particularly strong in the WI back then).

I thought I was going to get away with that. Ok definitely want to make use of Headley to the best of his ability so I'll see what I can do.

In your case since it's a 15-man squad and England have been playing for 15 decades you'll have to pick one player from each of those decades, if I've read the index correctly.

India or West Indies please.

Just one small problem. Derek Underwood was still a good 70-75 years away from being born in the 1870s.
