Very nice. I agree with all of it, except the keeper. No Greg Chappell is harsh, but his record against England isn't his best, similar to Ponting. Barrington is a fair enough choice, though there may be a few other candidates, perhaps Hammond? The other unlucky one is Trueman, but it's pretty much impossible to leave Lillee or McGrath out.

Gilchrist should definitely be there ahead of Knott though. Gilchrist's record against England isn't quite as good as his test record, but Knott's two centuries in 34 Ashes tests doesn't cut it for an all-time side. Ames would be a better bet if you want an English keeper-batsman.

1. Len Hutton

4. Walter Hammond
5. Ken Barrington
6. Keith Miller
7. Ian Botham
8. Don Tallon
9. Shane Warne
10. Dennis Lillee
11. Glenn McGrath

I went for Tallon over Gilly cus of his greater keeping ability. You don't need the extra batting with Miller and Botham at 6 and 7, and well you got Bradman in the team.

Mine, for what it's worth:

1. Jack Hobbs
2. Len Hutton
3. Don Bradman
4. Walter Hammond
5. Steve Waugh (c)
6. Keith Miller
7. Ian Botham
8. Adam Gilchrist (k)
9. Shane Warne
10. Dennis Lillee
11. Glenn McGrath

12th man: Jim Laker

Waugh seems as fitting as anyone to take the captaincy. Hutton or Bradman also possibilities. Laker would be in the side if it turned, for Botham I guess.
