With Usman Khawaja playing against his country of birth, Pakistan, in the current test I thought I’d pick a dinki-di multicultural Aussie cricket side. There’s quite a few overseas born chaps missing, but here’s my twelve. Who carries the drinks? Let’s check the pitch and weather.
Charles Bannerman: England
Keppler Wessels: South Africa
Usman Khawaja: Pakistan
Archie Jackson: Scotland
Davennel Whatmore: Sri Lanka
Tom Horan: Ireland
Andrew Symonds: England
Brendan Julian: New Zealand
Sammy Carter: England (WK)
Rex Sellers: India
Clarrie Grimmett: New Zealand
Tony Dell: England
As I mentioned there are others who could have made it into the twelve. Who would you have picked? Let us know.
