Ah, Pies my man, that really takes me back. Yes, I'd forgotten Foster, what a pile of wank he was that day! I remember the ironic cheer he got when he managed to pass Slater's bat - it happened just before tea, and Slater already had a ton.

But, in the interests of fair play, Fozzie did take 88 wickets at 32.85 each, so I think there are more outstanding candidates for the Wankers XI.

I'm glad that Chuckie has got a reprieve from the XI, Blakey is without doubt the outstanding wicketkeeper candidate of the 90's.

So many wankers, so many (painful) memories! Another few names to throw into the ring: from the 90's, how about Wayne Larkins? I'm convinced he was selected because Gooch was shagging his wife or mother (or both). Ben Holliake should also be worth a mention, his record is worse than his brother's.

And from earlier back, how about John Childs, Neil Radford and Paul Terry?

Another interesting challenge is to name players who seemed to be doing well, then mysteriously disappeared without trace. The ones that easily spring to mind are Steve Watkin, Peter Martin and Neil Mallender. Could the common link be that they were all medium(ish) pacers, who the selectors thought would be chewed up on overseas wickets?

Just as an amusing aside whilst parousing the records, I noticed that England once picked "A Dolphin" to play a test match.
