Nick knight looks like that Christian B bloke that supposedly killed Maddie. Can't unsee it.CrimsonAvenger wrote: ↑Sun Jul 05, 2020 3:32 pmYeah, Fairbrother was one of the first names I remember following in the English team after Hick. He was a difficult to dislodge customer from what I remember, but nothing flashy. I think the first player I really liked in their ODI line-up, who got them thinking differently for the limited over matches, was Nick Knight.

Re: World X1 squad
I always thought Nick Knight went in for the wrong sport with the wrong nationality; I can picture him as an American race car driver or maybe a seventies' style pool hall shark.

That is a cool nameCrimsonAvenger wrote: ↑Sun Jul 05, 2020 3:26 pmYup, that was the choice. To accommodate what foreignfield is looking for, I could rotate Zim, Ban and SA players to have
Alester Maregwede --> Steve Palframan
Enamul Haque --> Keith Dabengwa
Richard Snell --> Talha Jubair
In any case, I nominate Pramodaya Wickramasinghe as captain. I love that name!

Re: World X1 squad
No! Except Pramodaya Wickramasinghe, I don't necessarily like any of the other names or their careers as such. It is neither a World XI of the one's I don't like. Just some journeyment from these teams over the years, the names that came to my mind as I instinctively collated this list.
Having said that, Pramodaya Wickramasinghe is a World Cup winner and Wajahatullah Wasti is a World Cup finalist (if I remember correctly).
And if it was about favorite names, I would have had Everton Matambanadzo / Blessing Mahwire for Zim
Re: World X1 squad
Steve Palframan, now there was a guy who fell off the radar. How many players have played all the games at a CWC but then only played one other ODI?
Neil Johnson, Alistair Campbell, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), Grant Flower, Dave Houghton, Guy Whittall, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Ray Price, Eddo Brandes
Re: World X1 squad
Did he play before the WC?
Jason Kresja would have come pretty close in 2011. Although he played 2 tests. Even got an 8fer in one of his two tests!
You don't see someone come in, take 8 wickets and be dumped never to be seen again very often.

Re: World X1 squad
Palframan played one ODI in the leadup to the CWC. Post World Cup Dave Richardson returned and Boucher appeared on the scene and Palframan was never seen again.
