Im going to go Jonny Bairstow as my keeper as he actually performs better with the bat when he is the gloveman.

Had wanted YJB and had assumed you’d overlook him following his troubled year.

I’ll pick Jimmy Binks, who won the championship a bunch of times with Illingworth’s ATG team. And assuming NUFAN wants an opener, I’ll try and round off the side with his team mate Brian Close, who captains from short leg.

I did think about Gibbs/Vaughan/Fleming/Katich opening,
but looking at your top 3 especially, I think having an extra quick bowler will help my teams ability to take 20 wickets.

Howe, I spent a while trying to figure out what gloveman to go for. I was thinking for a second Sarfraz Ahmed, but as far as I can tell, he didnt actually play a County Championship match.

The best non YJB keeper I found was George Pinder. Only once I picked Bairstow, did I start thinking Rhodes fits the team better as an opener.

I spent a while debating Wardle vs Peel and Younis vs Inzaman.

What was your toughest decision?
