The No Third Man XI On Tour
Wednesday, September 03, 2008 : Extras
With Geoffrey Boycott selecting his best XI's in his new book
, it started me thinking what would my best XI be for say a tour around the Caribbean:
- Me (Captain, obviously)
- Sir Geoff
- Sir Viv
- Gatt
- Skidder Marks
- Dermot Reeve
- Warnie
- Merv Hughes
- Yozzer Hughes
- Colin 'The Ledge' Dredge
- Tuffers
- Derek Pringle
Merv Hughes and Gatt would be easy targets (literally) for humour. Merv could also provide a constant barrage of mindless sledging with the odd nuggety classic thrown in. Dermot Reeve could provide entertainment and er, 'lift our spirits'. Sir Viv would provide local knowledge of which were the best bars/clubs to go to after the game.
We would on no account, ever, ever, EVER ... have a Third Man.
