My Victorian team is very strong too, especially the batting + having Shane Warne doesn't hurt.

Mismanagement is a huge problem. They have the same problem in the Middle East, where I lived for a while with the football/soccer sides. I guess some of the developing nations lack the structure... also a cultural thing.
In Australia the captaincy is revered very highly, and is seen as an honour. Power struggles are not common here.

Except it's got 16 players in it, perhaps! They'd win hands down. Perhaps England should try that against Australia to even things up a bit. Wink

I was going to say the same thing, that ain't 11 mate! Maybe where he comes from they have a different numbering system. I know the indigenous people here in Australia have a rather simple numbering system: 0, 1 or many

Finding Asian players without 'A' in their names might be slightly easier than finding Mumbai players with their names not ending with "kar"

Was he an origin of England? Perhaps you want to edit that before you sound foolish to someone else besides me.

How about RP Singh (he's just known as RP so I guess it might count)?

One player who satisfies both the criteria (Not having "A" and his name not ending with "kar"). Can anyone try to answer?

If his name ends with 'kar' is going to have an 'a' in it....

Can you find a player without an "a" or "kar"? If his name has a "kar" then by default it has an "a" in it...
