Was rather tempted to pick Hadlee this round but just couldn't justify picking him ahead of Imran, who offers more in terms of team balance.

Aw ****ing Blakus. Both gone before it even gets to my pick, what're the chances?
I've thought about two other 'minority' picks, but in the end I'll go for the best opener ever. Will do me. 1. Jack Hobbs 2. - 3. - 4. - 5. - 6. - 7. - 8. - 9. - 10. - 11. -

One of Wisdens five cricketers of the century and of one of probably only six gold tier spinners. Add to that you also get one of your slip fielders. Great pick.

Just as an aside - an interesting article by Ian Chappell on the leadership skills of Shane Warne;
