Yeah I think the batting order should be changed. Headley between the two aggressors is the best option imo.

Not sure which should be 3 and which should be 5 though. Lara has more experience batting with the tail, but he’s also known for huge tons which would be harder to achieve at 5. Both have their best record at 3, Lara barely played at 5, Viv actually played more at 5 than 3 but was less successful. (probably due to only playing 2 innings there in his peak)

I’d slightly lean Lara/Headley/Viv

Noted.

I found Headley kinda like Don though. Ofcourse much slower, but he is like a perfect no 3, top good there to move around. Also the openers are fairly aggressive.
