What's the best line-up you can put together with a county team (within the first few years - not exclusively regens)?

I think mine would be hard to top:

Michael Carberry
Phil Mustard
Jonathan Trott
Ian Bell
Nick Compton
Dawid Malan
Tim Ambrose
Shakib al-Hasan
Chris Woakes
Tim Murtagh
Boyd Rankin

Considering Mustard, Malan and Ambrose have turned gun in my game, it's one hell of an XI. James Ord (who averages 50 in FC cricket), Joe Root, Gary Ballance, Jos Buttler, Rikki Clarke and Matt Coles make up some of my bench strength. Touch light on bowling depth, but that batting line-up is far-and-away the best in the CC, IMO.
