All-Time XXX XI?

by PeterCS Sat 08 Dec 2018, 02:13

What about?:

1. Roy Virgin
2. Ryan Ramdass
3. Quinton de Kock
4. Peter Handscomb
5. Travis Head
6. Graeme Hole
7. Denesh Ramdin
8. BJ Watling
9. Pat Cummins
10. Bob Cunis *
11. "Puss" Achong

Joe Root (if you're an Aussie), Ijaz or Salman Butt, Jack Badcock, Dale Steyn might all stand on the edge of the circle. And Vernon Philander looking for the off chance.

What is it with sex and keepers?? There are three up there who could take the ... gloves. (With some caution.)

Nicely contrasting opening pair.

Might have to watch out for no-balls.

Cunis the skipper because he has the best overview, covers all options.

Any other candidates?

Actually, probably a whole XI of -cocks, especially if you can include non-internationals or even non-FC like the various Allcocks.

Pat Pocock, ...

(FWIW I read that "-cock" originally meant "lad" in name contexts. As in the Mancunian greeting "Y'awright, cock?")

"shikking" (from "shikk, shikk, shikk") has a particular meaning The Monkey pointed out on here once, new to me at the time. The word, I mean.

Not that Mr Dhawan is female, but still.

Was a certain current high-profile English bat with the first name Joe, just too bloody obvious even for this list??

by Fred Nerk Sat 08 Dec 2018, 10:03

Also Clint McKay would be a capital inclusion, of course

Poc and dickhead are widely used synonyms for David Warner.

Peter or David Willey... presumably Michael Holding will be playing for the opposition?

Wankhede Stadium has to be their home venue.

Hardik Pandya?
