Do you think that your favoured batting line-up of....
01. Grace
02. Hobbs
03. Hammond
04. Hutton
05. Sutcliffe
06. Compton
....would score more runs than a more conventional line-up? Such as;
01. Grace
02. Hobbs
03. Hammond
04. Barrington
05. May
06. Compton
If you do think that your unconventional line-up would score more runs then why not select it? After all, the main objective is to win the Test match, is it not?
