Does Gilchrist really belong in this discussion ahead of batsmen like Alan Border, Mathew Hayden, David Gower etc ?

Absence of Border from this poll an absolute disgrace tbh.
AWTA Look at Border's record the bowlers he faced, the (lack of) support he had. Border averaged 50 when it meant something severely underrated I think.

Ha fair enough. But i think Bruce Reid, Vass should be in this team ahead of Johnson & Aamer ATS TBF. Plus Wilfred Rhodes or Verity>Vettori IMO. Aparthied banned Stephen Jefferies is also a good option.

You could also consider Vinno Mankad's left-arm spin as all-rounder to bat in the top 6/7 as well.
