I think if it's Test Only, Taibu should definitely be there. Class keeper averaging 30 odd.

Thought about him, but I don't rate his batting that high, initially put him 5th, then considered Muzarabani and finally settled on Raza.

Re Hadlee I assume you mean one of Walter, Barry, or Dayle and Crowe refers to Jeff or Russell.
Agree with the last 3.
