I would have to select Shane Warne narrowly ahead of Don Bradman. Bradman obviously would add runs to the team but he doesn't solve the big issue with our team at the moment - spin bowling.
Take the Ashes for example, we had Doherty and Beer playing and decided to pick Steve Smith as a useful spin bowler and number 6. Also Marcus North case was helped by the fact that his off spinners were useful.
If we had Warne at his peak, we would have just picked the best batsman for the number 6 spot as well as obviously having one of the best bowlers of all time.
