I'm thinking of shoehorning Worrell in as opener and Walcott as keeper. It's kind of a cheat on both fronts but I think it makes the best team and in a real life situation choosing between this set of players would likely happen. Worrell never really had a set batting position and he did open six times for an average of 49, and Walcott was reportedly quite a good keeper before back injuries made him give it up.

Sometimes I do think we need to be a little more flexible re: batting positions and consider what would really happen - see the English side.

Yeah I don't think a real life team would persist with Hunte or Haynes opening while Worrell was batting 3 in domestic cricket tbh.

I don't think Walcott would continue to choose not to keep wicket if it was his only way forward into the team either. See BJ Watling for example.

Headley, second choice Worrell (I think that's allowed; if it isn't just count it as a vote for Worrell outright)
