Cricket XIs by first name
-
…continuing on from my last post in the cricket final…..
Selecting a team by first name. Try your best to name a balanced team ( I had to google Chris the keeper for example )
Chris Gayle
Chris Broad
Kris Srikanth ( gets in by a technicality )
Chris Rogers
Chris Harris
Chris Cairns
Chris Read
Chris Lewis
Chris Woakes
Chris Pringle
Chris MartinChris proved that a semi decent team can be named but fuck me some of the other names might be tough.
I’m gonna go Ian next but holy shit, I have TWO excellent keepers to choose from.
Ian Redpath
Ian Ward ( I had to google this guy too )
Ian Chappell
Ian Bell
Eion Morgan ( fuck it, close enough )
Ian Botham
Ian Harvey
Ian Healy ( reserve keeper and specialist low order batsman )
Ian Smith
Ian Butler
Ian Bishop -

I'm too lazy
Mike Atherton
Michael Slater
Michael Vaughan
Michael Clarke
Michael Hussey
Michael BevanMichael Holding
Mike HendrickOk, hand on heart that is what I have so far without google ( Mike Gatting misses out ).
Really struggling with bowlers and a keeper.
( Australia has a lot of really good batsmen called Mike )

@mn5 you have missed the bolwer that the Black Caps have named the trophy after.
Michael Mason
Mason the mace!I already picked one forgettable black caps trundler in the ‘Ian” team.
Right, I nominate you to choose a “Matthew/Matt” team…..

Mikes sorted except for a keeper
Michael Valetta was a fringe keeper in that era where Boon and Langer were also keeping in ODIs but he would certainly out of place in the team.
I will give others a crack before googling.
Mike Singh Dhoni?

I suspect the Stevens win this.
The Richards will do quite well - especially if you're allowed Barry and Viv.
You can probably get Dickwella in there too.

I might even allow Richie Richardson

He's almost overqualified!
The Geoffs/Jeffs can put together a decent team.
Boycott, Marsh, Stollmeyer, Howarth, Crowe, TBC, Dujon, Miller, Thomson, Lawson, Dymock
