[Eds]

MrPrez takes Brian Statham.

[Jager]

Can't go past the best captain in history, Douglas Jardine. Guess which bowler he has to call on?

1. Alec Stewart+
2.
3. Neil Harvey
4. Sachin Tendulkar
5. Dudley Nourse
6. Doug Walters
7. Douglas Jardine*
8. Wilfred Rhodes
9. Harold Larwood
10. Curtly Ambrose
11. Waqar Younis

[Himannv]

Stewart is going to open and keep wicket?

[MrPrez]

Surprised Statham is still around! Happy, have 3 quality pacers and 2 gun spinners. Pick between that at your peril.

[Eds]

Shame Jager didn't go for an opener then to shift the load off Stewart.

I doubt my choice opener will be taken by next round

You should have taken two in these two rounds. That or get a wicket-keeper that would actually be capable of opening and keeping at this level.

IMO, anyway.

[AndyZaltzHair]

Wilfred Rhodes opened the innings few times not a bad option though I'd give Alec Stewart benefit of doubt

See, I knew it ! - you are going to pick Andrew Hilditch after all.

[AndyZaltzHair]

I thought watson would pick Jardine

[watson]

To be honest, Alec Stewart is good enough to be an opener at the highest level. I'd have another keeper so Alec can do what he does best - stick it to the bowlers.
