Actually, Hughie Tayfield will be the spinner. Or Hugh Trumble, going further back.

Tatenda Taibu may get in as keeper. Thinking of more keepers.

Plenty of keepers, but no real standout.

There are three listed on the 1-11 above. Tallon and Taylor are famous keepers, but were number 8-9s at best. Taibu at least could bat. All our bowlers are specialists, no all rounders. Hashan hardly played Tests. So I'd go for Taibu.

I thought Tallon was a bowler. :oops:

Hashan was a non specialist keeper but he was good batsman. His keeping is very risky even considrring the runs he scores.

Only 4 bowlers so far.

Is this 7+4 combo.

we dont have a strict formation, it kinda depends on what players are available

in general i think we have tried to go for a 6-1-4 team setup tho
