well ive spent a good twenty minutes deciding between Hobbs and Hammond.... pretty hard to separate them in my mind.
gonna go Hobbs soley because there's a good chance i'll miss out on the best openers from 45-50, and atm my only option up top is Stewart who spent a lot of time not batting there. also im gonna have more than enough bowling options.
Hobbs
Stewart +

De Silva
Twose
Hamilton
Pollock

Alec Stewart opened the batting in 38 Test matches and averaged 46 runs in an era of great fast bowlers.
IMO, giving Stewart the gloves is one of the ATG selection blunders as it robbed England of one of their finest opening batsman at a critical time in English cricket.

well now he's opening and holding the gloves haha. hope he's up to the task.
regardless my batting is a little thin, elliott/blewett in the early 30s would have been a good choice and would have allowed there to be 6 specalist batsmen as opposed to 5. gavin hamilton's performance at the '99 world cup is the sole inspiration for his inclusion...
at least pollock and streak have test centuries under their belt

Not sure what your gaps are and how you will fill them, but **** that's a nice side.

Was doing some self reflection, and I had a chance to take Archie Maclaren instead of CB Fry. Fry was a better defensive batsman and a better overall bat, and I thought it might be more appropriate. Maclaren might have made this an all out attack

Don't think I'm winning the draft; so I'm gonna have some fun with it. To accompany the dour Athers is the dashing Fredericks. Feels only fitting that such a pace battery be supported by a batsman of his calibre.
