Next time we do something like this maybe we should start from 11 up to see if it impacts selection differently.

Could get Vaughan in for his PT spin.

Cheers. Vaughany is in the box with Arlott, Benaud, McGilvray, Coney and Vic Marks. And Danny Morrison.

I liked your musings on the idea of multiple selections for each position

perhaps this could be implemented when you do this again in 50 years time

sounds like something out of 'Mars Attacks' or 'Futurama'

I like it!

can it be arranged so that the disembodied brain arrives on the pitch at Lords in a helicopter?

Maybe interrupt Beefy in mid walk so that he can appear in hiking boots and putties to unveil a cabinet full of cash to an expectant audience of journo's, while the brain interferes with the wives of the England team?

that would be very cool

I'm surprised that nobody's ever thought of that

His tank slowly fills up with the coins as they spill from his cold eye-stalks. Isn't that what you think of when you see Giles Clarke or Sepp Blatter?

Anyway, I don't want to spoil the pleasant thread so far!
