Favourite "B"

Postby Alviro Patterson » Tue Jun 09, 2015 11:37 pm

In recent years, a number of England call ups contain players who surname begins with "B". Legend had it that the England selectors would only pick players who have "B" in their surname.

So in true CMS fashion, which is your favourite player whose surname starts with the letter "B"?

Not many favourites there. At least Bumble didn't make it. And Stuart Broad's agent needs to get on the phone.

In the spirit of perestroika, I'll go for Joseph.

No place for England's greatest first drop since the war or one of the best English pacers of all time? For shame.
