School yard pick

If people are interested, do you want to do a school yard pick to select two teams. The brief is the best teams drawn from players across the history of the game, suitable to play in a variety of conditions.

It would go in terms of selector for team A picking, then selector for team B, team A, team B, etc until both XIs had been selected. It will be interesting to see what order players go in and how balanced the two teams end up being.

Assuming OzFan is ok with that selection (I had envisaged this as one person playing selector for a team at a time, but that certainly doesn't have to be set in stone).

maybe see what he says - if he wants to finish the team, we'll go back a couple of posts, and if you can do one of the teams for the next go around, or alternatively, he might be happy - Hadlee was a good pick I reckon...
