The criteria for selection was players I'd played with or against, and as per league game, one overseas player. That choice went to Justin Kenny who was simply awesome.

I did play with John Walford senior in the third team many moons ago, but having bowled against Jonathan, I think the younger version just edges it.

Contrary to public opinion it wasn't that difficult to include my brother as keeper. His longevity in the side is due to his decent keeping, much improved batting and his "never say die" attitude. I'd like to also state that the fact he became best friends with the last six captains at the club was merely coincidental.

My choice of captain is Micky Davis, who during his tenure became an exceptional skipper.

Lastly, to form the most balanced of attacks, I have included Paul Lattimore. Although he has been a long standing friend, I firmly believe persistent injuries prevented him for being the best left arm seamer this club may have ever produced.
