Nice to see Jesus playing. Hopefully he can be a big hit in cricket like he is in religion

This is looking like a strong side, but iPod guy is still going to get the most runs IMO.

5. Bill Gates, Right Handed Batsman
Bill Gates makes runs as easily as he makes money. His main claim to fame in cricket is the fact that 98% of the time he has batted, he has passed 100 runs. Unfortunately for those who find this statistic impressive, he mean 100 in binary which is actually 4. Nevertheless, he is a solid contributor that rarely breaks down, unlike his products, and the fact he wears glasses out to bat is just a bonus. He also has the ability to bribe any umpire, as when bribery figures get to several millions of US dollars, the umpires will very rarely refuse. This is extremely handy for a rather untalented team such as this one, as it may be their only possibly path to victory.
6. God, Left Handed Batsman, Right Arm Off Spinner
The second half of the only father-son combination in the team. With Jesus touring the world as part of the team, God could just not stay out of it, knowing that Jesus can occasionally become a bit of a pants man, and wanting to watch over him. God has the ability to send down a bit of rain when a draw is an option, which is unlikely as all of the games are 20:20 games. He can strike the other team’s strike bowler with lightning, which can be useful. His sledging is also worth noting, including one from an intra-club practice match where he stated “I’ve slept with your mum, and her husband didn’t care” to a certain biblical figure who is batting at No. 3. Another of his sledges goes like “I am a part you all.” Confusing, but effective.

7. Freddie Mercury, Right-Handed Batsman, Right Arm Pace
The Famous XI’s answer to Freddie Flintoff. Freddie Mercury, the flamboyant Queen singer who sadly passed away nearly 20 years ago, has come back from the dead to join in this tour. He is an excellent batsman under pressure, and watching him bat is like having a sheer heart attack. His bowling is unpredictable, a big Bohemian rhapsody but there is also a kind of magic about it. When asked whether he’d like to play the game, he sprung into action this day. He hates being cramped up by bowlers though, saying “Don’t stop me now, I want to be free.” If anyone can get all 8 Queen songs that have been mentioned in this paragraph they can receive my sincere congratulations.
8. Osama Bin Laden, Right Arm Spin
Osama has spent his life adapting to dusty surfaces, and is now an intimidating force whenever given the opportunity to play on one. He can get the ball to really blast off the rough patches in the pitch. He specialises in getting out the tall batsmen who can’t get down to the ball, and it will most certainly prove useful to have an expert in knocking over the talls. Although Osama is technically either dead or on the run, he will play as many games of this series as he can without being voted off, under the assumption that the intelligence agencies that are after him will not be able to track him down despite there actually being a fixture for this tournament. He travels from country to country separate from the rest of the team, by his teammates’ requests.

Ah well, you win some and you lose some. The rest are all human, if it helps. It's not like this story is really an all-out pursuit of realism anyway, though.
