No worries - the criteria should be something that you can easily check, but you can't easily trawl for

A pretty straightforward choice for me.
AB de Villiers
Career Stats...
Overall : 8765 runs at an average of 50 in 114 Matches
As a keeper : 2067 runs at an average of 57.41 in 24 matches
We all know about the legend. A good keeper, a legendary batsman, and an incredible athelete, he’ll be the perfect pick for no.7 in my team as he has batted quite low in his career too. At no. 6 he has over 2000 runs so can also perform at 7 i think.

Sanath JayasuriyaTest stats: 98 wickets @ 34.34 (2 5WI, best 5/34) in 110 matches
First-class stats: 205 wickets @ 33.20 (2 5WI, best 5/34) in 265 matches
Bowled in first four: 24 times (10.9%)
Sanath Jayasuriya may have been known as one of the most aggressive opening batsmen in recent history, but he started his cricketing career as a spinner and never really lost that side to his game. It's that which I will be looking to make the most of by selecting him here.

Man of Tomorrow
Steven SmithIf I understand the rules correctly, Steven Smith is just about eligible to be picked as a bowler. He has been selected as a non-bowler (batsman), he was the fourth bowler used by Australia in Test matches only on one occasion in the 54 innings he bowled (1.85%).
Reference: It was in the 2nd Innings of this Test match.
Am I getting this right? @Master Bates

TBH you should ask @Aislabie if this query arises! As he is the man behind the rules. But still I will look where I can.
You the don't swear on the Benjamin the Aislabie, monsieur!

I'll be going with Hanif Mohammad as my first pick Wicketkeeping
For the 55 tests he played, Hanif was the designated Keeper in 3 matches: 5%
His bio from cricinfo:
"Hanif was the first star of Pakistan cricket, the "Little Master" who played the longest innings in Test history - his 970-minute 337 against West Indies in Bridgetown in 1957-58 - then followed it a year later with the highest first-class innings to that point, 499 run out. With such feats, broadcast on radio, he turned cricket in Pakistan from the preserve of the Lahore educated elite into the mass sport it is today. Although famous for his immaculate defence and never hitting the ball in the air, Hanif could also attack, and was probably the originator of the reverse-sweep. His versatility extended to captaining and keeping wicket, and bowling right- and left-handed in Test cricket. But in addition to being the jack of all trades, he was the master of one."
I have him batting down at 7 (because that's the highest he can bat under these restrictions) so that he can hopefully provide some relief before the tail is exposed. He did score 203* batting at 6... so its not out of the realm of possibility that he might score big
@CerealKiller you have the next pick

@CerealKiller you have the next pick
I'll go with Javed Miandad, who is one of only two players whose Test average never fell below 50, from his first innings to his last.
He never played as the designated wicketkeeper, but he does have a stumping as a substitute keeper, so he's eligible.
Test stats : 8832 runs at 52, in 124 matches
