@Perfect Square your turn.

Wasn’t familiar with his story. But wow. What a pick. Found this: https://stumptostump.com/bradmurphy-a__DBcu/goofylawrenceswingmaster-s__fuoz
 
First of all, a big shoutout to everyone else for nominating so many bowlers (or batsmen who have to be played down there) in the unlucky dip that everyone else's Rob Key picks weren't bowlers, because it leaves me with my choice of the obvious three pacemen for the No Tests XI. From those, one is by far the best fit in theory (Franklyn Stephenson could conceivably bat six)... but screw it, I live once, and my top five is already pretty good. Give me :saf: :bwl: Vintcent Van der Bijl. And if anyone else has their Key left... please take Stephenson, he deserves to be in this draft.

Rounding out my team will be Ted Bowley who was Sussex's best batsman for almost 2 decades and is most well known for scoring 1000+ runs in 15 consecutive seasons. His 741 wickets that go along with 28k FC runs is extremely useful to give this team a 2nd spin bowling option that it lacked too.

1. :aus: :bat: Will Pucovski
2. :eng: :ar: Ted Bowley
3. :sri: :bat: Mahadevan Sathasivam
4. :saf: :ar: Aubrey Faulkner

I shall be using my Rob Key selection in the form of Yuzvendra Chahal. I needed a genuine spinner and he fits the description perfectly

1. :nzf: :bat: Blair Hartland
2. :wi: :ar: Oscar da Costa
3. :aus: :bat: George Bailey
4. :aus: :bat: Brad Hodge
5. :wi: :ar: Garry Sobers
6. :aus: :ar: Elysse Perry
7. :ban: :wk: Mohammad Salim
8. :zim: :bwl: Blessing Mahwire
9. :nzf: :wk: Barry Milburn
10. :eng: :bwl: Jofra Archer
11. :ind: :bwl: Yuzvendra Chahal
