Well if it was cricket real greg, I would support the best North X1 there was.
To do what you say would be churlish, because neither Lanc's, York's or Durham could supply all the players.
I must say Statto's 1X would do well for the full England one day side.

From a Northerners point of view, what's not to cheer on with this side in a ODI?.

What is inevitable?, and if it is inevitable whatever happenes next?. I would suggest there is no turning back when the cash comes rolling in.
