Plunkett, Tremlett, Davies and Panesar would have had exactly how many 1st class games between them?

An 'A' team needs to be a capable side as well as giving opportunities to good prospects: even an Under-21 or Under-23 side has to be picked in part on that basis... and if we're going to try and put out the strongest under-30 team possible then the like sof Sidebottom are critical.
