This year, The Cricketer is celebrating its 100th birthday, and we want the help of county cricket fans in commemorating the moment.

We are running public votes to find each county's County Championship team of the past century - from 1921 until the present day.

We've nominated a shortlist of batsmen, bowlers, wicketkeepers and allrounders, all you have to do is choose your favourites (you can also suggest players who have not made the cut).

D'oh! had to revise my first pick as I had one too many o/seas player, and CB Fry - so, sorry Immie, on the bench! Perhaps CB could be the manager?! Still got a pretty exciting team with just one slightly surprising pick batting at No 2 or 3?

So spoilt for choice, but slightly amazed that C B Fry wasn't an option - he gets in my team via the 'other names' button! Difficult to pick the best batting line up when everyone is essentially an all-rounder: Bowley, Jim langridge, Dexter, Imran, Parks Jnr.... I guess Snowie and Mushie are 10 and 11 ! An honourable shout-out for Gehan Mendis, one of the very best openers not to play for England; terrific touch and courageous as hell! Tony Greig and Kenny Suttle will be very miffed to be left-out!

Sussex have a host of riches, when I can leave out the likes of Jim Langridge, Adams, Sheppard, Imran, Joyce, Prior. My team of John Langridge & Bowley to open, followed by Duleep, Goodwin & Dexter, have 2 great slip fielders/openers, an attractive middle order, two quality all-rounders in Greig & Tate, with Jim Parks as keeper at 8, followed by Thomson, Snow & Mushtaq, a side capable of beating anyside, anywhere. Not forgetting that Bowley took over 700 first-class wickets & Dexter over 400, so plenty of bowling.
