So much depends on the balance of the side. I'm tempted to go with Faulkner and play 4 specialist quicks.

Very simple one for me.

Great champion of the old 'uns that I usually am I do think Faulkner is a tad over-rated round these parts - through no fault of his own he only played 12 of his 25 Tests against full strength opposition so, fine player that he undoubtedly was, I'm going to go for Mike Procter again - best all rounder the game has seen, through my rose-tinted glasses anyway

You want Procter to bat six? Even though Kallis is already playing? Surely if you don't want to pick Faulkner you should just pick the next best bat.

Procter was a top class batsman - you don't get six consecutive first class centuries by being a fast bowler with a good eye - he was quality

I see Kallis as the second best ever all rounder and good enough for that role. Deciding btwn Taylor and Amla.

This is a very interesting proposition. I was tempting a choice of S. Pollock here, but it seems Procter might even be the better batsman.

Aubrey Faulkner is the obvious choice.

That way we get 3 x quicks, 1 x offie, and a highly competent leg-break googly bowler in the side to secure the ultimate bowling attack.

And with Waite and Procter to follow it doesn't matter too much that Faulkner is probably not as good as Amla et al.

Yeah, Faulkner.

What a ****ing ridiculously OP batting line up/deep bowling line-up if what I'm envisaging goes through.

Both Procter and Pollock should play, really.
