Given a completely free hand I'd have said Archie Jackson to go in first with VT - but I'd still have played Barnes in the middle order, and it will surprise no one to know Stan McCabe is a must for me, so given the inevitable number three my batting line-up would be

Trumper
Jackson
Bradman
Barnes
McCabe

**** me to watch that lot I'd even renounce my British passport, buy some moleskin trousers and an Akubra, and learn all the words to Advance Australia Fair - there may be a few with better averages than VT,AJ and SM, but they would be amazing to watch, and the other two would bail the side out if they had a collective off day
