The more I think about this the better an idea it becomes
The way the OOM lies at the moment is perfect
If they had 4 a side, there are 4 English and 4 others in the top 8
If 5 a side, there are 5 English and 5 others in the top 10
If 8 a side, it is 8 and 8 in the top 16
and if they go 12 a side, like the Ryder Cup, then there are 12 Englishmen and 12 from the Rest of the World in the top 24. It could not be better
How about this then ?
England - Capt Dennis Priestley
A Lewis
P Taylor
J Wade
M Smith
D Chisnall
T Jenkins
I White
S Bunting
M King
J Pipe
J Caven
S Baton
ROW - Capt John Part
MVG
G Anderson
P Wright
R Thornton
RVB
J Klaasen
K Huybrechts
