David Gower
Colin Cowdrey

Brian Statham
Stuart Broad


(Can’t really open the attack with Lohmann because he was a ‘Medium Spinner’ and bowled at the same pace as Noble or Trumble. By way of modern comparison he was about as quick as Chandra or Underwood - 70 mph/115 kph)

International Vice-Captain
On a decent pitch against anything but a top-rate attack, that B middle order would be fantastic to watch.

Willis (for want of anyone better as much as anything - I've rarely seen a good word about Dexter's captaincy from his contemporaries).

Graveney, Thorpe
Swann

Wardle

I wonder whether a couple of twin-spin attacks are in order in these XIs.
