Vivian was MOB/batting allrounder who happened to open on a tour of England.
Also Coney should be at 6, not 4.

[NZTailender]

I'm placing more weight on overseas performance with my picks to keep it halfway interesting for me at least

With 2 centuries (in Australia and India no less) and an average of 40 plus, I choose Lou Vincent for opener #2
Congdon
Burgess
Dayle Hadlee

Now please vote for:
A) The wicketkeeper
B) The no. 6/7 bat (or a MOB)
C) The spinner/another bowling option

 

[capt_Luffy]

Ian Smith
Jacob Oram
Mitchell Santner

 

[ataraxia]

Ronchi (second choice Parore)
Nicholls
Oram (Vivian bowled lots of overs of spin, but I wouldn't mind Santner/Phillips instead)

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Coney (1 n) needs to be at 6 where he averaged 45.

Vivian was a spinner (SLA) while Congdon, Coney, and McMillan were useful medium pacers. There is a lot of bowling in this side. Add Ryder's golden arm and get a lefthander in the middle order.

Ian Smith (wk) - will bat 8
Jesse Ryder
Glenn Phillips 7 (offies will balance Vivian's SLAs)

I enjoy how we agree on so much yet have no common selection.
