[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Tut! Tut!

What about Kumar Shri Ranjitsinghji and the Nawab of Pataudi.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

I think Ted Dexter was born outside these shores too - Italy maybe?

 

[Perry Milkins]

I did actually think of them but thought they were a little too historic and would have struggled with the spelling.

So TD instead of The Prid?

 

[Tubby Mondays]

[Lord Bracknell]

H.H. Mansoor Ali Khan, Nawab of Pataudi
Ranjitsinhji Vibhaji Jadeja, Maharaja Jam Sahib of Nawanagar
H.M Charles Burgess Fry, King of Albania

 

[Perry Milkins]

Gehan Mendis?

I though he was born in Hove actually. How is the Hyman?

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

So TD instead of The Prid?

Risky, he was never really a team player.

What about Bevan or Wessels?

[Perry Milkins]

Michael DeVenuto?

Wot instead of Matthias Prior?

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Rana for Yasir perhaps?

 

[Gwylan]

You'd have to have Ranji - he was one of the greats

How about Paul Parker?

BTW, Gehan Mendis was born in Sri Lanka but Roger Prideaux was born in London

My team would be

Dexter
Barclay (c)
Wessels
Ranji
Javed
Parker
Tony Greig
Prior
Imran
Le Roux
Mushy

EDIT: I'm assuming this if for a 1st class match A one-dayer would have to include Bevan and McCullum

 

[Tubby Mondays]

Wot instead of Matthias Prior?

You said have I missed anyone!

What about that Alikhan bloke? Dont know if thats how you spell it. Played in the 80s. Cant remember his first name. Dave was it?

I cannot believe you would have Troutbeck rubbing shoulders with that quality.

I always thought GM was a completely local boy.

Sorry.

Is Matt short for Matthias?

Looks like I got Gehan's birthplace wrong!

Johnny Barclay was an under-rated player I reckon. He was a regular in the side for 15 years before his injury.

He was also the best captain I've seen at Sussex: handled the players really well and had a keen cricket brain. He's one of those people who really shone as a captain.

GM was born in Columbo but went to school in Hove.
