[Gingerfinch]

Crowe for Chanderpaul?

The team needs some class.

Compton
Crowe
Chappell
Clarke

That is one classy middle order.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Chandrasekhar as a potential spinner.

colin cowdrey ?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Not sure Cowdrey's in that class.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Can't see Closey or Caddick making the final XI. Stuart Clark probably not quite going to make it.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Or Learie Constantine.

[rich1uk]

struggling to think of bowlers

[rich1uk]

sylvester clarke might have made it but was unlucky to play at a time when the WI had an embarrassment of riches

[Arthur Crabtree]

Chandrasekhar's in the class to get in the side. Reckon he should be in until another option is thought of.

South African opener? I thought there'd be resistance. Maybe open with his dad.
