Gilchrist and uh um uh um uh um Lindwall I guess...

 

[Midwinter]

J.Blackham - in this team the keeper won't need to make runs. The extra wickets he can take will more than make up for them anyway.

CTB Turner

 

[NUFAN]

Gilchrist dominates the keeper slot. The 3rd seamer/second spin position was always going to be difficult, Lindwall gets picked ahead of Davidson.

Australia XI so far:
1 V Trumper
2 M Hayden
3 D Bradman
4 G Chappell
5 A Border
6
7 A Gilchrist
8 R Lindwall
9 S Warne
10 D Lillee
11 G McGrath

1. Pick the 11th and final player to fit this team. If you think Gilchrist should be at 6 you are welcome to pick another bowler, spin or pace. If you think we need a pure batsman go for it.

2. Name your two Australian A opening batsman

3. Select your Australian A keeper.

I wonder if Smiths success has lowered some peoples opinion of Ponting at all? Not agreeing or disagreeing with you but I quite like having a fighter like Border in the XI as the other 5 top 7 bats selected so far are attacking minded batsman.

Enjoying this by the way thanks NUFAN

Yeah I hope we can get to Australia O which would be 176 Test Cricketers.

So no Ponting at 6.

1)Keith Miller

Ponting has batted at 6 33 times, while Miller has batted there only thrice,

 

[mr_mister]

Yeah Ponting made his bones at 6. That 197 against Pak was legendary

But come on its Keith Miller. After Bradman he's the first chosen imo

Yeah kinda. So youve answered question 1, you now have to answer question 2 and 3 to start the A team (I asked these questions as I dont think the answers will impact the answer to the first question and to keep the game going more).

1. Pick the 11th and final player to fit this team. If you think Gilchrist should be at 6 you are welcome to pick another bowler, spin or pace. If you think we need a pure batsman go for it.

2. Name your two Australian A opening batsman

3. Select your Australian A keeper.
