Just one question, West Indies' first test match was in 1928, do I have to choose a player from that decade too or since it's towards the end can I skip to the 30s?

Afraid not. One player from every decade of Test cricket for your country including the 1920s.

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).

:p 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.

So am I allowed to pick any 2 english cricketer from each decade?
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.


Gone already. RSA, NZ, PAK (my bad, they're taken too), SRI, ZIM, BAN & ROTW (ft Rashid, the legendary Bart King and other great non-Test names) are all that remain.
