Not trying to influence anyone in particular, but do you think Love and Hodge has done more for Australia than say Shaun Marsh？

For first class cricket I would agree, but not so much Tests. Marcus North is another bat that sort of fits this group too.

 

[Starfighter]

Eh, they're better batsmen, so I'm going with that. Otherwise I'd be reduced to picking Alan Fairfax for his 51 average.

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah fair enough. I was thinking Love as a Test Cricketer wasnt that memorable. The thing that I remember most about him was when he got out clean bowled for a golden duck. I know he made a nice 100 against Bangladesh too and I thought he was excellent for QLD, but Tests.. nah.

Going by your better batsman theory, how about Bevan？Awesome first class average, in the running for the world odi XI side..

 

[Starfighter]

Also depends on who I remember existed. The fact I only started really paying attention to cricket in 2010-ish doesn't help.

At least I found a better way of listing the XIs. Much less scrolling.

Seriously. It's time to start throwing Greg Ritchie around. He gets some laughs but the poor guy had to make his way against the Windies wrecking machine followed by Hadlee at his most wankerish. The guy was a gun, if, perhaps, one with the firing pins shaved off. As such....

Greg Ritchie
Hookes (surprised he is not in a team yet)

I have no idea about bowlers.

 

[Dan]

Tim Wall worth a shout for the bowlers?

Oh and Scott Kremerskothen should have been in the first XI, obvs.

- Name Jaques opening partner
- Select the Aus L XIs number 5
- Select another bowling option. Pace or spin, to be as high as 7 or as low as 11.

Graeme Wood
Johnny Taylor
Ranji Hordern

Edit: Since they have already been mentioned, I should say that I will also be voting for Greg Matthews at 6 and Pascoe as the final bowler if he's not picked here.

 

[Flametree]

Bruce Laird
David Hookes

Lennie Pascoe

(I'll just pre-load that Matthews and Hordern should be locks for 6+7...)
