Going further down the order, Doug Insole, Graeme Beard and Miriam Knee made up the middle order, including names from the world of women’s cricket as well.

Up next, William Back and David Brain took up the positions of allrounders. Although both specialized in using the red cherry they were known for the cameos they put up with the willow. For the bowling positions, firstly one of Henry Foot, Charles Foot, or Anthony Foot was asked to be picked by the audience. At the same time, Josh Tongue and Fionn Hand rounded up the attack.

Photos of the viral ‘Anatomical XI’ have done rounds on social media with fans coming up with hilarious responses. Most were targeted funnily at players like Quinton de Kock, Hardik Pandya, and Niroshan Dickwella for their omission from the XI given they share names with the slang of the male sexual organ.
