Just one small problem. Derek Underwood was still a good 70-75 years away from being born in the 1870s.

Sure, but you should be alright if you follow these links below. They will lead you to the players worthy of selection; just click on a particular decade, judge their stats and select away.

South Africa -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manager: Test debut: 1889

Squad limit - 15 players *Minimum of 1 player each from the 1880s, 1890s, 1900s, 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. *At least one wicket-keeper (//) from the above mentioned. *You still have room for 2 extra players after completing your 1 player per decade quota. *An extra player each permitted from any two of the above mentioned decades. *Non-Test players having made their debut anytime during or after the year 1877 are eligible for selection. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can I bring Sheridan Raynor (60’s) and Gavin Hamilton (90s) in for Harry Kortlang and Dennet Ayling. As well as Omar Henry (80’s) - if eligible? - for Aasif Karim

Can you also clarify what venues I am allowed to select? Thanks

I wouldn't say no to Raynor or Hamilton, but you'd pretty much be shooting yourself in the foot by removing someone as great as Kortlang whom I personally regard as one of the best batsmen to never play Test cricket in it's entire existence. Omar Henry being South African isn't eligible for ROTW unfortunately.

I will, once everybody is signed up.

I don't know much about American cricket at the time, although the story of the Philadelphians team sounds really interesting, so I'll take your word for it. I'll bring him back for George Patterson. I wasn't sure about Omar Henry coz he played quite a lot of cricket here during apartheid.
