4. 5 bowling options - Faulkner will be the fifth.

Faulkner batting at 6/7 would surely make a great batting lineup and his bowling would add an extra dimension, I like that thinking.

 

[Noble One]

1)
As listed

2)
Alan Davidson
Alec Bedser

3)
Jim Laker

4)
Four bowling options.

 

[Blakus]

1. Happy with the batting order

2. Michael Holding and Ray Lindwall

3. Clarrie Grimmett

4. 4 Bowling options

 

[Eds]

Michael Holding and Alan Davidson.

Clarrie Grimmett.

 

[Howe_zat]

1. Put Trueman at #8, otherwise fine

2. Harold Larwood and Allan Donald

3. Jim Laker

4. We ought to wait to see what kind of a batting lineup we can put together.

 

[Dan]

1. Order looks fine to me.
2. Davidson, Larwood
3. Grimmett
4. Will withhold judgement until we've got the framework of the XI.

 

[morgieb]

1. Looks OK to me.
2. Garner and Davidson
3. Laker
4. I think 5 would work better, but am OK with 4 if we pick a batting all-rounder.

 

[Cabinet96]

1) As listed
2) Donald and Garner
3) Laker
4) Yes, but in the form of a batting all rounder. Or if the rest of the bowlers are fairly decent batsmen.

 

[Jarquis]

Garner, Davidson
Grimmett

I'm thinking of wrapping this up later tonight seeing as the usual voters have contributed and I'll be extremely busy tonight.

Geez, Davidson and Garner, that's a miserly attack!

 

[Jager]

Geez, Davidson and Garner, that's a miserly attack!

Maybe so, but no one would contest their effectiveness! Things could still change in the next five or so hours though.

Joel Garner and Alan Davidson

clarie grimmett as the spinnah

 

[kyear2]

Michael Holding
Ray Lindwall

Clarrie Grimmett
Fifth bowler an all rounder either Worrell or Faulkner.

Grimmett barely over Laker and a opening attack of Garner and Davidson would keep the rate down but would not be very attacking. Besides neither Garner or Davidson is rated higher than their respexrive country men Holding or Lindwall who opened the bowling over Garner and Davidson.

Botham, Holding
Laker.

 

[Jager]

Alright, I'll wrap this one up seeing as there's been a stack of votes from the usual group. Davidson won the first spot, and it was a draw between Holding and Garner with 5 votes each. Myself having voted for Garner means that Holding will open the bowling. Laker just edged out Grimmett even with my own vote, so we now have a lineup that reads so far...

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8. Davidson (1)
9. Holding (2)
10. Laker
11.
