Yeah, it gives us one spot that could theoretically go to anyone. I see us picking Kallis + Faulkner + four other specialist bats and a keeper, and Pollock/Procter + two other specialist seamers... but the spot that we'd usually think of as the spinner spot may end up going to someone else entirely because of the extra bowling Kallis and Faulkner already give us. Looking at how the West Indies team ended up I'd not be surprised if both Pollock and Procter made the cut and Faulkner ended up the lone spinner.

I think the difference between Proctor and Tayfield is smaller than the difference between Holding and Gibbs though.

Procter has some serious fans on CW though. I actually expect him to be picked over Pollock, and with so many bowling options in the side already people may feel the need to stack the batting a little rather than pick another specialist.

Adcock: Matches = 5 Ave = 29.28 SR = 74.8

P.Pollock: Matches = 14 Ave = 27.65 SR = 57.0

Procter: Matches = 7 Ave = 15.02 SR = 36.9

Actually you're right Satan, Donald's figures aren't flash. But they still significantly better than Shaun Pollock who is rank last.

The surprise package is Peter Pollock. On those numbers he deserves more votes than he is getting!

And we also can draw a reasonable conclusion from those 7 Test matches of Mike Procter. That is, he must have been one hell of a fast bowler.

Donald
Procter

Both Pollock and Procter should make it but I'm trying not to over-think it and just pick who I think are the best two pacers.

I want Procter in the side too, and I will have him ahead of Shaun Pollock as first change.
