Disagree with Alam. We need a better batsman at that spot.

Barrington would just miss out on my personal All Time England XI, but I'd never call him a weak link.
Shaggy has it closest to my AT XI.
Barrington averages 77 at the # 3 position. I'd have him there and remove Hutton, painful as it may. He was not a # 3 batsman, and it's a stretch to have him waiting while Hobbs/Sutcliffe motor along. May in place of him.
Tyson teams up well with Trueman. Express attack essential.
12th man, I'd like Rhodes. In fact toyed with him in place of ITB for balance.

I like most of the way you're thinking there - you wouldn't take Hutton over Sutcliffe though?
And how about Compton ahead of May or Barrington? He had that natural genius about him that could produce the near-impossible. I love those kind of players...

Is Saeed a better choice than Majid ?

I think so.

Plus, it gives you the lefty/righty combo to start off the innings.
Sutcliffe and Hobbs are an established pair, in fact prob the greatest ever. I dont believe in tampering with this unless the replacement has near Bradmanesque abilities.I like most of the way you're thinking there - you wouldn't take Hutton over Sutcliffe though?

As a former opening batsman, I can say that a demotion in the batting ranks throw's one's game off. Had Hutton played more often as a non-opener he could present a better case.
Compton or May I struggled with. May won out, cuz I felt he had the temperament and leadership. Barrington would be a wkt to frustrate most bowlers.
After the 1st 5 batsman lay the groundwork, Botham can flay away.
I wud've liked to see a LH bat up there, Gower perhaps ? However, none so good as to dislodge the others.
Tyson or Larwood was another think. Again, Tyson teamed with Trueman. Larwood, we never wud know how good he was outside of BLine bowling.
Got to go with the sure thing and sometimes include a (possibly) lesser player over a better one for the sake of the team as a whole.

Asif Iqbal could probably be the perfect #6 for PAK All-time i record, very highly regarded batsmen and a more than handy record with the ball.

Whatever it takes!!!
yeah, great to see a Kenyan member here who can hopefully keep us posted on how cricket's growing there. I personally feel there is a lot of natural talent there and it just has to be harnessed properly and coached properly and perhaps get more exposure.

Yeah the trouble is when the old KCA went AWOL the link between school cricket, where most players begin learning the game, and Domestic club cricket all but died as most of the administration was too busy fighting with itself and other stakeholders in the courts, but things are looking since new management took over the national team's issues have been settled and the flow of talented young players has started to pick up again. Although ultimately if these players are to develop into the next Tikolo then they will need exposure to cricket of the highest quality.

That is good to hear. Hopefully, they can do what Zimbabwe aren't doing and end up being a decent side, at least.... I think in the next couple of years at least, they should become a little more competitive, esp. in Twenty20 cricket, which seems to profit athleticism in a better way when compared to tests and even ODIs...

Will have a go at an all time Indian test team but I am only gng to pick from the guys I have watched and so basically it is a 88- present day Indian test team...
