7. Rodney Marsh
8. Shane Warne
9. Dennis Lillee
10. Jeff Thomson
11. Bill O'Reilly

My Aussies have a comfortable edge over yours: Morris and Stackpole simply can't compare with Trumper and Ponsford; Ponting has to be Chappell's superior; Blackham was a miles-better stumper (going by the relative standards of their respective times) than Marsh; Turner was as much a menace as Lillee; and Spofforth takes Thommo with ease. Only in Elvis's mercurial genius as a number five -- Clem just doesn't compare -- and O'Reilly's superiority to Pigeon does your team have a glimmer of hope.
