What is the take?

Gooch over Cook, I agree. But this team lacks a left hander so much.

Viv at somewhere around 15 among Test bats.....
Not a true take though, he is just angry
Johan
International Coach
took you long enough

But I eventually reached there
Johan

I think Luffy has Akram like a level above Trueman, and I think my top 10 bats have like 7 or 8 English/Australian bats and then Sobers, Sunny and another guy.

No Sachin?

he and Viv got shanked on revisions

Ah, didn't realise you were looking at having to have debuted post-war. I'd have May over Cowdrey but fair enough.
The Sean

Yeah, I didn't realise it was debut post-war. I was going for players who played predominantly post war. All good.

Oh didn't realise May wasn't there. Then he surely comes in for Cowdrey. Was also thinking of taking another allrounder like Greig or Stokes for Bedser, but none provides the balance Mushtaq-Imran gives to Pakistan. Someone like Rhodes could had, but none else.

Getting shanked below sunny is nasty work
Johan
International Coach
It is but I don't really mind, think I explained my reasoning for why I'm dropping Viv here, most of it is applicable the other way too.

Why did Sachin get shanked though?
Johan
International Coach
a bit of a reversal of Viv, similar output, a little less quality, I think he's too longevity reliant/dependent in the same way Viv is too peak reliant/dependant (tho, Viv's peak itself is overrated).
DrWolverine
International Vice-Captain
You were one of the strongest supporters of Viv especially his peak so seeing this U-turn is surprising
Johan
International Coach
meh, the arguments against him have been convincing.
