I still have the Tuskers logos somewhere for the one I made in DBC 17. I might get that up soon

yay... the super tusker you did was brilliant: i loved using it.

@GorgeousGeorge59 and @relaxedanderson did some great retro bats in dbc17 - hoping they both get PC

Funnily enough, i made mine up on the PS4.

Will attempt a few in the future. Whipping up stadia right now.

John Emburey made his test debut in 1978...

Bit odd seeing Knotty there for the 60s too, but sure enough he made his debut in 1967!

Yes. You're quite right. Had a brain melt moment. Ment Underwood. I'd consider Knott and Underwood as 60s as their debuts were during the decade, and they're quite well known!

really interesting actually, as it does make you think for those "era spanning" cricketers, what do you associate them most with.

anyway - my nitpicks aside - i look forward to seeing that team on the server: Graveney and D'Oliveira are 2 of my all time favourites.

True that. I wrote my University dissertation partly on the D'Oliveira affair. So feel invested with him!

I really don't know much about the 60's at all, maybe a good chance to learn! @blockerdave @GorgeousGeorge59

Look forward to some 80s teams England, Australia, windies etc

Whats the best way with making these teams? Create a team and add players, then link the players to on disk ATB?

Think I'm right in saying every on-disc historical side already has a version for download with names corrected. I downloaded all of them, then created the team and added all players who were already on-disc before going on to create those players not already in the game.

I go through all the ATB teams first and do the relevant players, then add them to the created team
