Time to actually get some batting talent into this XI. So I return to the Caribbean and pick a man who has the greatest honour known to man kind…. Having a Wetherspoons pub named him. He also played 7 ODIs and a batting average of 54.66 in them not including the 79 tests he also played and is a genuine cricketing legend, I’m talking of Rohan Kanhai.
Ruturaj Gaikwad is the kind of player who'll give my team a bit of hit up top. Short of absolutely burning my wicketkeeper spot on Farokh Engineer, I didn't really know what to do with this spot anyway, because it's not the deepest pool, 5-7. Credit to Supreme because I think he got the one massive gem there.
7 - 1- 20 - 1 in one ODI vs Scotland
47 wickets @ 29.70 (econ: 4.82, best 4/38) in 32 List A matches
Dirk Nannes' dual-sport, dual-international career is the stuff of purest cult herodom even before you get to the fact that he bowled absolute left-arm rapid. He turned his second sport into a globetrotting career that saw him star in the BBL, IPL, CPL, Blast, and best of all the Bangladesh Premier League - all despite never bowling a professional delivery until the second half of his 30th year. What a legend.
