so what have we learned about team selection?

1. it helps to turn up at nets
2. it helps if your surname begins with 'A'
3. it's actually quite good opening the batting
4. some physical disability helps keep you in mind
5. if you're not particularly good at cricket, it helps if you hold some degree of comedy value to the team or you can score legibly (although counting up the runs correctly too is an advantage and saves embarassment so that the team know when to give up the chase for the win and settle for a batting point)

hope i didn't offend anyone there
