(Shortlisted for selection: Brian Young, Jeff Crowe, Lee Germon, Dipak Patel, Evan Gray, Matthew Hart, Murphy Su'a, Chris Pringle.)

Here are two of our heroes in action at the MCG in the 87/88 season World Series Cup. Watch out between 2:20 and 2:45 for the dismissals of Willie Watson and Martin Snedden. Glorious!
