Why not play Dravid at 3, Hammond at 4, Border and Chanders at 5 and 6, and Sanga at 7? Just get an opener who can bowl and it’ll be perfectly balanced with everyone in their best batting positions (except maybe Sanga but who cares about him).

Funny you used that when Ramadhin still has the record for "most balls bowled in an innings" (588) - did you want to highlight one of his better days?

Everything gets amplified at the ‘Home of Cricket’, so I did wanted to bring up a great test match at Lord’s.
