Lets nothing through.<BR/><BR/>RB: Horace. Has the patience and intelligence for the full-back role, while not being afraid to go on the attack now and then when circumstances demand.<BR/><BR/>CB: Suetonius. Always at the centre of things (he was an imperial secretary, after all), and passionately organised in his approach.<BR/><BR/>CB: Tertullian. A passionate defender (of Christianity, but that's not to say he would be incapable of other kinds of defence).<BR/><BR/>LB: Martial. Unobtrusive, favours the short ball, and has no hesitation in chopping down the pretty boys on the opposition side.<BR/><BR/>RM: Juvenal. Like all true satirists, a right-winger by inclination.<BR/><BR/>CDM: Vitruvius. The architect of the side.<BR/><BR/>CAM: Catullus. For the playmaker role, you really need someone who can pull surprises, and this bloke was full of them.<BR/><BR/>LM: Cicero. Hardworking in the service of the team (as he never ceases to remind his team-mates).<BR/><BR/>STR: Virgil. His skill in finished phrases would surely make him a fine finisher.<BR/><BR/>STR: Ovid. Adds grace, enterprise and elegance to any side, and an ideal foil to his fellow hexameter-merchant in attack.<BR/><BR/>That's my bit of fun for a Friday night.Mike Salterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08133817212055957800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29638226.post-79756721944697987862007-03-23T19:42:00.000+11:002007-03-23T19:42:00.000+11:00Being one who doesn't care about or know much in r...Being one who doesn't care about or know much in regards to cricket I cannot really make any comments on the thoughts expressed in this post [I'll admit, I'm a hockey/soccer girl through and through]. <BR/><BR/>However I can respond to <B>anonymous</B>' question - my family has vases and various items with a similar pattern on them [I highly doubt any value which they may have as artefacts or whatnot. Cheap ripoffs ahoy!] which have been passed down as heirlooms through the family. <BR/><BR/>Understandibly, as the clutz-child, I'm not really allowed to hold them. or touch them.<BR/><BR/>... or look at them unless there's protective glass between them and me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29638226.post-2888028890973068872007-03-23T15:09:00.000+11:002007-03-23T15:09:00.000+11:00brilliant! and where did you find that vase??brilliant! and where did you find that vase??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
