All-time Australia XIs - A re-run

D Jones 9 (6x at #5; 3x at #4)
Cowper 4 (all at #3)
Redpath 4 (2x at #3; 2x at #4)
K Hughes 4 (all at #4)
A Jackson 3 (all at #3)
Lehmann 3 (all at #5)

Hmm. That's not particularly conclusive. I'm opting for Cowper on the basis of FC record and bowling ability, but we'll have a runoff between Redpath and Hughes.

International Coach
For Australia F, please:
  • identify your preferred batter of Ian Redpath and Kim Hughes
  • name the wicketkeeper
  • name the remaining two members of the side
    • if you wish to pick both Redpath and Hughes, you may do so by picking your less preferred batter in one of these two slots
    • you may pick another specialist batter who is not Redpath or Hughes (and, of course, you could pick an all-rounder instead)
You may indicate that any of these picks are conditional on the result of any other (e.g. "pick Ashwin – but if India select 4 #11s again, pick Jadeja")

Sorry I'm out.

How is it that vote for 3 best batters had Dean Jones and then Kim Hughes got = 4 votes with Cowper and Redpath, Cowper selected, then = 4 votes with Redpath, Redpath selected, but then Hughes misses out on a batting spot altogether with #6 given to Symonds or Lehmann who only had = 3 votes?

After the first tie in the voting spots between those 3 Ataraxia used his vote to tie break and nominate Cowper. That vote was for spots 3-5 only. As he wasn't sure who the second batsman he wanted among Redpath and Hughes, he again conducted the voting but after another tie he voted for Redpath. The next time he opened the voting for the position of no 6, in which Symmonds and Lehmann tied again. So in this round they are competing for the no 6 position. The votes were for different positions, and people had the option for voting for both Redpath and Hughes, but no one did that instead choosing these two. It's fair imo.
