For once neither do I. But felt the need to reach for a fast bowler and the last top tier spinner. Now lots of better options are springing to mind. too late now.

Good timing Fred, and well played.

You and I are thinking on the same lines. I wanted Pollock and was close to picking Punter as well.Thanks for making my selection Watson. The thought of Punter and Pollock batting together for a session or two is pretty orright.
Monk's XI
- Len Hutton

- Ricky Ponting
- Graeme Pollock

If you believe the Editors of 'Masterly Batting', and Derek Pringle who wrote the accompanying piece, then Gooch's 154 against the West Indies in 1991 (Marshall, Ambrose, Walsh, Patterson) is the best innings of all time. An understandable choice for opening batsman.

Wise and honourable men, even if one of them is prone to chirping when he gets excited

True enough, Martin, Patrick is a bit chirpy - I'll have a word with him.

No worries Monk. Ended up having to work late last night so it was no deal.
After your comments defending Ponting in the 'Best Opener in the last 20 Years' thread, or whatever it's called, I wasn't suprised that you chose him as your No.3 batsman.
Incidently, that photo of Ponting shows his defining shot, and will possibly be his main memory to cricket such was its power of execution.
