Welcome back from holidays Phantom. Just in time as I hope to begin the discussion tomorrow. My list of qualifiers was done prior to the last round of the season so Monty must have had played only 7 games at that stage. He played the last game so he does qualify with 8 games.

Sorry Rachael, I'm not sure I understand how your rule discard young players who have played recently. And why should they be discarded if they have played less than 6 Test matches? Collingwood has played 3 Test matches in the past couple of years so why should he be discarded? Can you give an example to clarify what you mean, please?

I'm guessing that you haven't posted all the teams yet admin as mine isn't there.

Are people able to change their sides - if they want to - now that Pansaner is confirmed as available for selection? From other threads I thought that Monty was a favourite amongst the posters.

Hi Phantom, just your side and mine to post. Yes people can change their side to include Foster or Panesar if they want to. I'm still trying to decide on a couple of positions in my team so I'll post yours and mine when I'm done.

Don't think I'd change my side in light of the two new eligible candidates, but if the squads count for anything in the process I'd replace Batty with Panesar and Wallace with Foster in mine.

Interesting that Collingwood, though selected by 10 of the 12 selectors, has not been chosen as a key player by a single one of them! Is he the ultimate utility selection? Good to have around, but not considered essential or indispensable by anyone? (Not even by Collyisamackem!)

Some of the more popular choices amongst the 12 member selection panel, alongwith the number of key player votes they received, are:

Code:
Joyce 		12 votes		5 key player nominations
 
Shah 		12 votes		3 key player nominations
 
Cook 		11 votes		4 key player nominations
 
Collingwood 	10 votes		0 key player nominations
 
Davies 		10 votes		4 key player nominations
 
Tremlett 	10 votes		1 key player nomination
 
Kabir Ali	5 votes		 1 key player nomination
 
Newman 		7 votes			1 key player nomination

Mike, at first glance I thought we had just enough key players there to have a team plus a 12th man (you have put up 12 names). However, no one has actually selected a keeper as a key player.

Also, 7 of the 12 key players are bowlers or bowling all-rounders, while another (Mascarenhas) could probably be classified as either a bowling or a batting all-rounder. That leaves only 4 specialist batsmen nominated as Key Players.
