I reckon you're going to take my pick, tbh. Especially since you have two.

Only 5 top tier openers, and 6 top tier spinners and only one of them left that can legitimately bat at #8. Gavaskar is also fills one of my slip fielder slots.
That added to the best ever #3 after Bradman and possibly the second best fast bowler ever.
