Here we go boys, thought I'd entertain you with a quiz:
Guess the player of this brilliant team.
1. Dashing Opener who made his Test Debut in the same test in which Warne bowled that ball of the century to Mike Gatting
2. Part of a great opening duo in a very successful side. Averaged over 40 in both Tests and ODI cricket. When he retired, he had scored the most centuries in ODI cricket.
3. Elegant Left-Handed Batsman who played both his first and last test against Pakistan. Was his country's highest-test scorer when he retired.
4. Batsman who started his test career by only making 1 run in 6 innings, but ended up making 6 test double-hundreds
5. Gutsy English middle-order batsman who hit 6 centuries against the great West Indies bowling line-up of the 80s and 90s
6. Pakistani batsman who also occasionally bowled medium-pace, was recalled after a 4 year absence from test cricket and made a final test appearance scoring a match-saving 65.
7. A wicket-keeper of well over 100 tests, this player has only hit 1 ODI hundred, but that came off 44 balls.
8. Indian bowler, who played his solitary test against England at Mohali. Also a useful lower-order batsman who has made a first-class century. Did not ever play an ODI match.
9. English bowler who also had a football career. His son has also played Test Cricket for England.
10. Australian spin bowler who made both his test and ODI debut against Bangladesh. Reports came through that he had the ability to bowl the doosra, but his chance for playing International cricket has all but gone now.
11. Indian fast-medium bowler who has recently opened for them in ODI cricket but had a very harsh debut match in Perth
What is the team and what is the link between all these players.

Thanks very much Yorkie.
I wish I could do more, but it takes a long time to put it all together.

Thanks, I kind of just put all the bits together after the rest of you did all the hard work.
