Pick one former player to add to your current Test team
 

If you could pick one player from your country's past to bolster the current side, who would it be?

Me, I'm working on a shortlist of Hammond, Botham, Trueman and Larwood. Maybe Botham (pre-mullet).

Strauss
Cook
Hammond
Trott
KP
Bell
Prior
Broad
Swann
Anderson
Tremlett

I'd love to have Trueman but Hammond makes by far the most sense to step in given the balance of the side.

If Strauss doesn't turn it around soon, I'll have Hutton to open and captain.

Bats at #3.

Meant to put him there, but forgot.

Yes I'd go for Hammond, although as it's England presumably we could have Graeme Pollock?

Barry Richards, maybe?

... or even Mike Procter

Of all the Test nations, I think only Australia has actually tried to do this.

Botham for Morgan.

Kapil Dev would slot in very nicely. Question is whether you drop a batsman or a bowler. I'd drop a bowler and bat Dev at 8.

Given that Kapil would walk into the current side as a specialist bowler but probably wouldn't make it as a batsman, why is it even a question?

Not that I'm a fan of him in particular, but Tony Grieg in for Morgan would be quite neat.
