So now please:

A) Vote for one of Goddard or Procter to captain. Those who already voted for them, I will count there votes as they did, unless someone want to change that. So, this for those who didn't vote in the previous round and @Teuton
B) Vote for one of Cook or Gibbs. As stated previously, @Fuller Pilch
C) Two middle order batsmen
D) One spinner
E) The wicketkeeper

I've got to vote for Gibbs. No doubt Jimmy Cook was a superb player with an amazing 1st class record, but I can't vote for a test opener with an average under 18 (at least Richards & Procter produced world class/ATG performances at test level).

I still think McGlew was better than both Gibbs and Cook though

Bland had an FC average of 38. Fab-as, if short, test record (one where his incredible third/fourth-innings efforts in adversity against strong opponents, having lost the toss, would lead to draws: something of an anomaly lol) but would seriously consider Jonty over him.
