I could squeeze in the likes of Andre Nel, ****v Sunder Das,
Murphy Su'a, Pankaj Roy and Rob Key to lower the average
letters a little more, but that would compromise the quality
of the team.

Other close misses: Shane Bond and Bruce Reid. The tail
would have been really long with these two coming behind
Chris Read.

The team is missing a part-time bowler who could fill in
some overs. Also, Read is a fine keeper but a stronger
batsman would not be a bad thing. Tate & Lee would
have to combine to perform the all-rounder duties in
this side.
