I will vote for Hanif Mohammad seeing as how Sutcliffe didn't make it into the tie breaker.

Sorry earlier openers thread I got Hazare and Hanif mixed up - my bad.
Anyway, therefore I shall revote (and despite my liking for a left/right hand combination of Morris and Hutton) and cast my ballot in favour of Hanif Mohammed and Len Hutton. |

it has to be morris. hanif is also a dour player like hutton. and a right hander. morris would bring in more exciting stroke play and help upset the line of opening bowlers with the left - right combination.

I originally voted Simpson - but given he's not going to get up, out of Hanif and Morris, I choose Morris, for the reasons Bagapath outlined.
