Was so close to taking Crowe myself, my last spot was between him, Mehala and two others. Interested to see if the other two get picked.
 
For my 12th man, I'll take some bowling insurance. Maurice Tate (1911-1925)

1- Sunil Gavaskar (1981-90)
2- Justin Langer (2000-10)
3- Hashim Amla (2011-present)
4- Stan McCabe (1926-1940)
5- Peter May (1951-1960)
6- Sir Garfield Sobers (c) (1961-1970)
7- Alan Knott (+) (Wildcard)
8- Wilfred Rhodes (1877-1910)
9- Wasim Akram (1991-2000)
10- Michael Holding (1971-1980)
11- Alec Bedser (1941-1950)

Going with another batsman and slightly altering the line-up. Kane Williamson is my wildcard, I'll slot him in at 5 and drop Gibbs from the side.

1. Haynes (1981-90)
2. Barrington (1951-60)
3. Bradman (1926-40, c)
4. Headley (1941-50)
5. Williamson (Wildcard)
6. Jackson (1877-1910)
7. Flower (2000-2010, +)
8. Vettori (2011-present)
9. Pollock (1990-2000)
10. Roberts (1971-80)
11. Hall (1911-25)

12. Gibbs (1961-70)

Good luck beating that top and middle order.
 
Anyone want to take gym4life's last two picks for him?

I ****ed my team up anyway, sorry guys.

1. Len Hutton* (1941-1950)
2.
3. Younis Khan (2011-)
4. Colin Cowdrey (1961-1970)
5. Clyde Walcott (1951-1960)
6. Michael Clarke (Wildcard)
7. Chris Cairns (1981-1990)
8. Mark Boucher (1991-2000)
9. George Lohmann (1877-1910)
10. Bhagwath Chandrasekhar (1971-1980)
11. Muttiah Muralitharan (2001-2010)

12.

So you need a player for 1911-1925, and 1926-1940 (although Hutton could fill this gap, and you could select someone else from 41-50; Walcott can also be 1941-50, and someone else be 51-60).

Should everyone who has submitted a team rank the other sides from 2 to 12 and just have a default ranking of 1 for their own team to balance things out?
 
For what it's worth, I've selected a team from the scraps leftover:

Joe Root (2011-)
Bruce Mitchell (1941 to 1950)
Charlie Davis (1971 to 1980)
Ernest Tyldesley (1926 to 1940)
Shivnarine Chanderpaul (1990 to 2000)
Angelo Mathews (2000 to 2010; captain)
Matt Prior (2007 to 2014; wildcard; wicketkeeper)
Frank Foster 1911 to 1925
Ken Higgs 1961 to 1970
JJ Ferris 1877 to 1910
Neil Adcock 1951 to 1960

12th man: Roger Harper (1981 to 1990)
(If selecting solely on fielding ability, and not as a replacement bowler)

Andy Roberts ahead of Higgs, surely?

I'm happy with my selection of Higgs. But I'm also interested in why you think Roberts is a better choice.

edit: Roberts was also taken as pick 103, but regardless, I still prefer Higgs.
