Had to choose two of Woolley, Clarke and Thorpe. Personally I don't rate Woolley's batting in tests all that highly, so it was a relatively straightforward decision to go for Clarke and Thorpe. Abbas smashed it and finally got a well-deserved spot in an ATG side. My own vote would have gone to Boucher in the wicketkeeper department but that wouldn't have changed things. The great Jack Blackham is our keeper.

R Smith: 2
Thorpe: 4
Martyn: 2
Abbas: 7
Deleepsinjhi: 2
Bland: 3
Khan: 3
Hussey: 3
Azharuddin: 3
Clarke: 4
Woolley: 4
Shrewsbury: 1
Jones: 2
Waugh: 2
Taylor: 1
Jardine: 2
de Silva: 2
Amla: 1

Boucher: 3
Russell: 4
Latif: 1
Blackham: 5
Oldfield: 1
Bari: 1

Jack Cowie and Craig McDermott
Bhajwath Chandrasekhar

EDIT - Jager, I can take over once again immediately or after this XI is sorted if you like. Cheers for organising once again.

EDIT 2 - Just on those standardised averages, we have to be mindful of current players records as they would have changed and also were those figures including or excluding longevity?
