OH NO I FORGOT NEIL HARVEY! Someone put him in one of my teams real quick.You ever hear of the saying that you can never trust anyone that has two first names? Well here's the...
Untrustworthy First XI:
1) Alec Stewart (ENG) +
2) Mark Taylor (AUS)
3) Brian Lara (WI)
4) Ross Taylor (NZ)
5) Brendan Taylor (ZIM)
6) Habibul Bashar (BAN)
7) Ed Joyce (IRE)
8) Ravichandran Ashwin (IND)
9) Dilhara Fernando (SL)
10) Allan Donald (SA)
11) Waqar Younis (PAK)
12th man) Qais Ahmad (AFG)
NOTE 1: For the Anglo names I used the most common ones. Technically anything can be a first name, the ones that were on the border were the -sons (eg: Anderson, Johnson) but I decided not to use them.
NOTE 2: because there's so many of them, I chose one player from each test playing nation. Plenty were unlucky to miss out, so I did a second XI, unrestrained by the one-per-country rule (therefore arguably a better team).
Untrustworthy Second XI:
1) Michael Vaughan (ENG)
2) Gary Kirsten (SA)
3) Michael Clarke (AUS)
4) Clive Lloyd (WI) c
5) Salim Malik (PAK)
6) Hanif Mohammad (PAK)
7) Alex Carey (AUS) +
8) Malcolm Marshall (WI)
9) Frank Tyson (ENG)
10) Bob Willis (ENG)
11) Chris Martin (NZ)
Ah nuts, there's still heaps so...
Untrustworthy Third XI:
1) Murali Vijay (IND)
2) Phil Jacques (AUS)
3) Ijaz Ahmed (PAK)
4) Damien Martyn (AUS) c
5) Arthur Morris (AUS)
6) Jacques Rudolph (SA)
7) Junior Murray (WI) +
8) Daren Sammy (WI)
9) Tim May (AUS)
10) Devon Malcolm (ENG)
11) Stuart Clark (AUS)
Also close were Dave Gregory (Australia's first Test captain), Lou Vincent, Michael Bevan, Sherwin Campbell, Matthew Elliott, Mervyn Dillon (the man with the most ducks in Tests in a calendar year), Peter Kirsten, Deryck Murray, Brendan Julian, George Bailey, Keemo Paul, Alistair Campbell, James Vince, Steven Jack & Sylvester Clarke (who John Dyson famously caught out). Sure I've missed many others.
