Only picked Anwar ahead of him because I needed the opener. I assume Taylor is your keeper?

[Purple7x08_24]

Is there a maximum number of players I can take from any decade or do they all just need to be covered at least once Purple7x08_24 ?

Just need to cover

 

[Plugger35]

For my 8th pick, another attacking opener to partner with Chris Gayle.

Sanath Jayasuriya

Purple7x08_24

You currently have Murali and Inzy, they played world XI together, and that had official test status.

Not counting World XI or Asia XI games

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Yeah I wouldn't have been counting those matches.

 

[The_Reaper]

What is the ruling on players who played tests for multiple countries?
Could you pick John Traicos as Zimbabwe for the 1970s?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Traicos I'd say no. Only 7 tests.
Wessels or Ballance I'd say yes though.

 

[Soggy2112]

Not counting World XI or Asia XI games

Where did it say that?

 

[The_Reaper]

Traicos I'd say no. Only 7 tests.
Wessels or Ballance I'd say yes though.

Now that its out there, Ballance has been one of my secret Zimbo option this entire time.

 

[The_Reaper]

Where did it say that?

I raised it earlier
