The normal awards that everyone else has
So, the other ATG thread is focussing heavily on each nation's greatest test combo.
The idea of this thread is to get a decent consensus on the best teams. We'll kick it off with Australia, England and the West Indies. Feel free to converse, nicely, on other teams!
Post your best line up here, with a 12th man, for each of the 3 nations. After we've hashed this out, we'll do another one on SA, India and Pakistan....
Here are mine ( I think I've almost settled on these! )....
