Also, do you guys mind picking some snazzy team names please.. I feel something awkward happening in my brain each time I have to type xyz123's XI in a match post for some reason. I'll start with naming mine VC's Sloggers

[Aislabie]

5. Ross Edwards (1975)
8. Guy de Alwis (1983)
10. Phil Edmonds (1979)

So I've gone left-field again. Firstly with the economical off-spin of Phil Edmonds: by no means a wicket-taker, but good luck scoring runs off him on 1979 form. Latterly with the usually non-batting keeper Guy de Alwis, whose 1983 World Cup campaign saw him capture lightning in a bottle and average over 55 at a strike rate of over a run a ball.

De Alwis would have been my pick if both Binny and Madan Lal were also picked up, that strike rate really caught my eye. Would have probably picked him ahead of those two if he still had associate eligibility.

 

[Fenil]

@VC the slogger I would like my team name as World Cup Warriors. Apologies for the lack of imagination.

 

[Ed Smith]

Martin Crowe

 

[Aislabie]

De Alwis would have been my pick if both Binny and Madan Lal were also picked up, that strike rate really caught my eye. Would have probably picked him ahead of those two if he still had associate eligibility.

Honestly the absolute state of the side I have planned, there's a non-zero chance that de Alwis plays as a batter

 

[Gaurav_7]

@VC the slogger my team name will be @Gaurav_7's Rebels!

 

[Aravind.]

@VC the slogger my team name will be Royapuram Rockers
