TOPIC:

Following on from BH's idea, here the start of an XI for Germans on the cricket field:

Julian Wiener
Justin Langer
Rob Langer
Darren lehmann
Bob Zadow
George Giffen captain
Tim Zoehrer
Shane Warne
Andy Bichel
Ben Hilfie
Carl rackemann

shane george warne apparently has a German passport so his connection is close. I think he used it to play county cricket as an Englishman when the poms were still in the EU.

Scott Muller (QLD)
Harry Frei (QLD)
Dirk Tazelaar (QLD) (maybe Dutch come to think of it)

Would Michael Kasprowicz be more of Polish or Russian decent AR?

polish i reckon, either way it is not a bad bowlling line up, is it?

Ken, Bob & Scott Meuleman (WA & VIC)
Shane Deitz (SA)
Jason Arnberger (NSW & VIC)

ken m should go into the top six over zadow, the batting line up is looking better. Zadow averagged only 25, and on reading about him, someone claimed that people looked on him as a future test player. Zadow? Do you remember such a thing, bease?

andrew zeesers could be another candidate for our side.
malcolm wolfe played for WA from memory

Ashley Noffke (QLD & WA)
Dennis Schuller (QLD)
Alan Shiell (SA)
Steve Wundke (SA)
Paul Rofe (SA)

bh: Wundke, took that bloody catch to dismiss KJ Hughes in that one day game at the Adelaide oval. Kimberly should have hit it for six, or alternatively along the ground.
