Grace deserves to be in this list a little more than Gilchrist, IMO.

I definately think Barry Richards should be there at the end of the day it wasn't their fault that isolation was caused and prevented them from playing. i would also look at Gary kirsten as a option from a South African Point of view. definatelt think Lara should feature in the top 4 or 5.Otherwise a great list

Fantastic result to keep Grace out, unfortunately couldn't keep Trumper out. Gilly is one that should be in.
Otherwise, good result.
