Player 39

:saf: :bwl: Peter Heine
Nominated by: Random.org

Frequently overlooked because of Neil Adcock's excellence at the other end, Peter Heine was an excellent bowler in his own right who deserves more recognition than he gets.

And he goes to... @CerealKiller

Congratulations!

Ayy, I just found an appropriate reaction image today:

Also yes Di Venuto is the first of many nominations of cricketers I just considered interesting
 
I'm just saying Cricket Archive labels them differently :/

You know I'm not accepting that as a loophole. A women's Test is still a Test.

The dream bowling lineup
 
Player 41

:zim: :ar: Don Tiripano
Nominated by: @pillowprocter

1694776068752.png

Hey look, another Zimbabwean seamer! Interestingly, Don Tiripano's consistent hard work has turned him into a proper batter, which nobody would have expected at the start of his career.

And he goes to... @Ed Smith

Let's look at how that team stacks up so far:

1.
2. :ned: :bat: Leonie Hoitink
3.
4.
5. :saf: :bat: Ken Funston
6. :zim: :ar: Don Tiripano
7. :ken: :ar: Tony Suji
8.
9.
10. :zim: :bwl: Victor Nyauchi
11.

Yeah that's probably not ideal so far.
 
Player 43

:wi: :ar: Dickie Fuller
Nominated by: @ahmedleo414

The man with the same name as a statistical test, Dickie Fuller came from Jamaica in the time when there was barely any first-class cricket for Jamaicans. Despite that, he made it into the West Indies team, which suggests he was pretty good at cricket.

And he goes to... @Welwyn

Let's look at how his team stacks up so far:

7. :wi: :ar: Dickie Fuller
 
Player 44

:zim: :ar: Brad Evans
Nominated by: @pillowprocter

1694776711449.png

Hey look, another Zimbabwean seamer! Quite a good cricketer from what I've seen, the sort of player who would have signed a three-year Kolpak deal at Leicestershire and played maybe a dozen first-team games before returning to Zimbabwe, if only that were still an option.

And he goes to... @ahmedleo414

Congratulations!
 
Player 45

:saf: :bat: William Solomon
Nominated by: @ahmedleo414

1694776870571.png

One Test as a specialist batter, overall first-class career average of under 10, nobody's even heard of him. That's how you do a Panesar nomination.

And he goes to... @ddrap14

Let see how that affects your team so far:

1.
2. :wi: :bat: Brenton Parchment
3.
4.
5. :ind: :ar: Rohan Gavaskar
6. :saf: :bat: William Solomon
7. :eng: :ar: Alec Douglas-Home
8.
9.
10. :ind: :bwl: Veer Pratap Singh
11.

Hmmm.
 
Oh nooo. It's impossible for everyone to get a Zimbabwean pacer now
 
Player 47

:sco: :ar: Gavin Hamilton
Nominated by: @Ed Smith

1694777467488.png

Gavin Hamilton is one of the better cricketers that Scotland has ever produced, but also had one of the worst careers of any player ever to represent England: 0 runs, 0 wickets and 0 catches in a Test match where England got pasted by an innings and 21, never to be seen again (for England).

And he goes to... @pillowprocter

Your team so far includes:

1. :ita: :bat: Michael di Venuto
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7. :ind: :ar: Ravichandran Ashwin
8. :sco: :ar: Gavin Hamilton
9. :aus: :bwl: Bryce McGain
10. :pak: :bwl: Riaz Afridi
11.

It really is a strong start.
