As posted by Inner Circle; Ed Joyce CB Fry Ranjitsinhji Murray Goodwin Imran Khan James Langridge Matt Prior Maurice Tate John Snow Mushtaq Ahmed Ian Thomson Can any other county afford to omit 3 respected post war England captains? No Javid Miandad or Keppler Wessels? What a precocious talent the latter was after Geoff Greenidge. In fact they left out 4 England Test Captains, forgot about Arthur Gilligan, talking of which a side comprising Oxbridge graduates would be pretty useful; Sheppard Fry Ranjitsinhji *Dexter Doggart Imran +M Griffith I Grieg Gilligan Spencer Marler 12th man Parker All Cambridge except for Imran. |

How many other counties could get a 2nd Oxbridge team from their past players? Many would struggle to get one.
Here's the Oxbridge 2nd XI comprising 2 internationals. Only 2 players from Oxford;
R Montgomerie
B Griffith
W House
*Nawab of Pautadi
R Knight
M Faber
C Pyemont
R Martin-Jenkins
+T Head
R Halsall
A Scott
12th man J Pyemont

He would replace House. His wife also played womens cricket for England and became a senior coach. My younger brother attended prep and public school with their son Anthony but as far as I'm aware he never made his mark in the game despite the family pedigree. |

I was thinking it is probably impossible to get a Sussex XI who were born in the county but never represented us. This is in contrast to Yorkshire where many Tykes had to ply their trade outside the county. The only 2 players I could think of were Mark Benson (Shoreham) and Bobby Parks (Cuckfield). Mason Crane edit oops, just remembered his unmemorable loan spell |
