Faulkner was chosen as the #6. Seeing as though he is a spin bowler I think it would be better to give people the option of choosing another spin bowler or pace bowlers. This poll will decide the final two bowling options. I've included the runners up to the allrounders poll as well. Choose two from the following list:

Rhodes and Turner for me. Turner scared batsmen back then, and maybe they were easier to scare in those days, but I think we want a pair of scary-ish opening bowlers to be complemented by the craftiness of Barnes and TWO spinners. (Yes, SS, TWO spinners!)
