Well, Rhodes said that Jackson was at his best with his back to the wall - just the quality we need at no.5 in a batting line-up.

Moreover, he was an Ashes winning captain and led a happy team after the excesses of A C McLaren. Therefore, F S Jackson for me.


Btw oz_fan, could you post the team - as it is now - up please?

/Edit: NM, seen it on the other thread. Thanks for the work too, mate! _b
