True.Damning with faint praise indeed
But he did look decent, and in any side right now would be a viable 5th option.

Yes ,that would be my side, the only thing you could add to this England side, is Hussey and probably Siddle, but to be fair to Bresnan, if we go on what we've seen from him, I'd be happy to have him in there, instead of Siddle. I would defo have Prior over Haddin and Johnson wouldn't be within a million miles of my side.Strauss *
Cook
Trott
Pietersen
Hussey
Bell
Prior †
Swann
Siddle
Tremlett
Anderson
Depends on the opposition, context of the series, conditions, balance of the side and how your team is performing.To what extent to good bowling units really need a 5th bowler?
Pick your best XI and then pick the captain tbh.Strauss was captain. Every side needs a captain, literally has to, and we have to judge on who played better this series, not who might have done okay.
Picking a composite XI without a captain is like picking one without a keeper.
Australia would have liked one in 05. England had one in 05.To what extent to good bowling units really need a 5th bowler?
I agree, but this is trumped by the rule, "Don't pick Twatto"Pick your best XI and then pick the captain tbh.
Well, IMO anyways.
Maybe if you picking "The XI that should have played", or something.Pick your best XI and then pick the captain tbh.
Well, IMO anyways.
I did say "good bowling units". You didn't really need one in 2006/07 did you?Australia would have liked one in 05. England had one in 05.
I dare say SA would have liked one last night, but Kallis was injured.
