I've asked this numerous times in msg board land and NO one could answer this.... Does WI have a selection policy?

I would guess

1. Performance - sheer volume of runs or wickets at the FC level
2. Technique - cricketers with proper techniques will more likely produce than not (exceptions abound tho)
3. Talent - all round ability, hand-eye co-ordination, reflexes, fitness
4. Personality - ability to work well within a team structure
5. Character - Someone who has a deep desire to succeed
6. Competitor - Sees the positive in negatives, always challenges himself to improve, wanting to be the best
7. Discipline - ability to adjust lifestyle to ensure that he puts in requisite work to succeed
8. Potential - Does it seem that this person will do well, is there a desire to improve, can they identify their weaknesses and adjust, are they humble enough to take guidance
9. Confidence - Believing in yourself is sometimes your greatest asset

I am just thinking off the top of my head here ..... but looking back at this makes me wonder if some of the people we have fit this criteria ?
