I see Kallis as the second best ever all rounder and good enough for that role. Deciding btwn Taylor and Amla.

Great champion of the old 'uns that I usually am I do think Faulkner is a tad over-rated round these parts - through no fault of his own he only played 12 of his 25 Tests against full strength opposition so, fine player that he undoubtedly was, I'm going to go for Mike Procter again - best all rounder the game has seen, through my rose-tinted glasses anyway

This is a very interesting proposition. I was tempting a choice of S. Pollock here, but it seems Procter might even be the better batsman.

 

[watson]

Aubrey Faulkner is the obvious choice.

That way we get 3 x quicks, 1 x offie, and a highly competent leg-break googly bowler in the side to secure the ultimate bowling attack.

And with Waite and Procter to follow it doesn't matter too much that Faulkner is probably not as good as Amla et al.

 

[Spikey]

you can just vote for procter next round can't you

Faulkner

 

[Teja.]

Yeah, Faulkner.

What a ****ing ridiculously OP batting line up/deep bowling line-up if what I'm envisaging goes through.

Both Procter and Pollock should play, really.

 

[Prince EWS]

I'm leaving Procter out; lovers can suck it.

1417 wickets @ 19 and 22k runs @ 36 over 24 years in FC cricket.

Clearly sucking it.

I would like to go slightly unconventional here and pick AB De Villiers as the Wicketkeeper-Batsman at number 6, and then pick Procter, Pollock and Tayfield for the rest of the positions. Tayfield covers the spin option, and I think Faulkner does not add that much value to the side as either Procter or Pollock. This way, we have 4 top notch pacers, which I realize may be a little over the top, especially with Kallis in the side, but it's still awesome.

Yes it is a 'little over the top' because Kallis bowls in the mid 130s therefore the team already has 4 quick bowlers all capable of taking wickets. The skill of Kallis justifies the inclusion of Faulkner even more.

This one is not even close, but will let it run a bit longer to let everyone who wants to, vote.

Kallis is the best 5th bowler you'd need IMO, and is a better allrounder than Faulkner. Better to have a really daunting batting lineup right up to six and still pick the 4 really excellent bowlers (Pollock and Tayfield would be my other 2 bowlers).

Interesting. I'm taking the same train of thought except I think it justifies another batsman more.

I'd include Faulkner on rank turners.
