Essex have two great bookends but not much in between. All a bit light in the spin department.

Greig over the Barnacle? Phurt!

Not nearly enough Sex.

Get Thorpey in there.

(And Warney.)

Sorry. I read the title as Sex All The Time XI.

I can see clearly now.

but not Roy Virgin

I agree from both a first-class and international point of view "The Boil" seems a better bet than the inconsistent Towny Grigg (who did little for his county after getting into the England side). More notable omissions appear to be Fred Titmus, Ted Dexter and Nass.

Your mum x 11.

Fair point in regards to Greig and Bailey at county level. Greig was far better at test level. Dexter could come in at number 6, I suppose, with him and Compton sharing the 5th bowler duties.

Titmus would have to replace Hearne which wouldn't be right with all due respect to Toesie. Hussein would probably make the 2nd XI.
