Sorry, been a hectic last couple of days personally. Will tabulate tomorrow morning.

Dear all, the weekend was hectic and so, I couldn't get in here. @Qlder has again kindly prepared the results as below.
I am voting for Barnes over Khawaja for a left-right opening combination.

Langer 9
Barnes 4
Khawaja 4
Woodfull 3
Warner 2
Taylor 2

Lyon 7
Trumble 5

Lyon jumps up 3 teams while Barnes jumps up a team. Benaud gets appointed the indisputed captain of Australia B.

[Coronis]

Hassett
Hussey
Macartney (tempted to vote Hughes or Hookes just for all H’s)

Hazlewood

 

[CricAddict]

We have a tie again, this time for the lead pacer. I will go for Turner over Haze. While his first class record in itself is quite good, Turner has a terrific first class record with almost close to 1000 wickets which cannot be completely ignored considering the era.

Now, please choose the final 3 players to fit the side.

IMO it can ideally be a tearaway pacer (since Turner is only medium fast) plus a pacer who can bat a bit plus a batsman who can bowl a bit (and also captain may be) but up to you to choose your 3 players.
