Final Position in the ATG English XI (for the modern age!)

Having a laugh with this one.

No, quite serious. I only said slightly worse. NZ with the better pace attack, England with the better spinner.

Shane Bond > James Anderson
Trent Boult > Darren Gough
Dion Nash > Stuart Broad
Daniel Vettori < Graeme Swann
Chris Cairns = Andrew Flintoff

Boult and Nash aren't better than Gough and Broad for me. But it depends I guess.

Boult and Nash aren't better than Gough and Broad for me. But it depends I guess.

Boult is 2nd only* to Steyn amongst bowlers at the mo. That's almost like being 2nd to Bradman. Nash-Broad is closer but I picked Nash as he is a better change bowler (Broad is an opening bowler picked as a first change) and my NZ attack has 2 openers plus Cairns. If I wanted another opening bowler (which I didn't) I would've gone for Southee.

*Since Ryan Harris has retired

Broad is better than Nash by a decent gap but Cairns alone is a better bowler than anyone England have except Anderson.

Trott not being voted in the XI is ****ing stupid but I have to vote Broad given the team balance that exists.
