Hi guys, can you now submit your final playing XI in batting order please.
Also indicate the bowlers in the order they will bill, see my post above, 1, 2 next to Donald and Tyson means they are the reopening bowlers.
This will be used for voting. Usually we also like to post the team stats so it helps people understand the team better. And you can write some notes on the team as well.

Top order
Hutton and Simpon are 2 opening behemoths in the game. We all know about Hutton, arguably the greatest ever English player, but Simmo averages 56+ as an opener. Both are tough as nails and know how to wear opposition bowlers down.
Fleming, as mentioned is probably the weak link at 3. But he averages 47 at 3. And while he may not be comparable with some of the other no 3 bats in other team, he knows hard work and he knows how to dig in.
Middle order
Pollock was a genius, there's not much that need to be said about him. MoYo comes in at 5 as a batting zen god. Angelo knows how to downhill ski when a platform has been set but he also knows how to dig deep (Eng, NZ) when he needs to. An ideal foil also for the late order batters.
Lower order
Ames is a purists keeper. 8 100's and a mean average of 40. Kapil is in the pantheon of the greats ever AR's. Beanud is the effervent captain to pull all these varying icons of the game and make them pull in the same direction. All of them will have the freedom to play off the top order at their will.
Bowling
Roberts and Trueman. Both in the top tier of the greatest fast bowlers of all time. Benaud acts as the pivot for these 2 while Kapil will bowl until he's dead no matter the conditions. Angelo can turn in his deadly seamers should the conditions suit. But the big 4 should get the job done on any day.
