I would prefer the pacers if it is a lot of matches over variety of asian conditions which would include spin friendly tracks, pitches which start out great for batting and slowly deteriorate, the occasional greentop and some proper shirtfronts.
The quicks. If the conditions are the kind Axar Patel favours just get Akram to bowl some left arm darts.
In Team #1, Tallon,Grout, Engineer or Maclean would rate above Gilchrist as a keeper. With that strength i the batting you need a specialist keeper NOT Keeper/batsman
If you're playing against another ATG team with an ATG bowling attack you would need a relative increase in batting strength too though

Jadeja is like 3 of them rolled into 1 of them thoughOur lack of quality left handers makes me sad.
Hammond and Paynter were almost exact contemporaries. Just compare the number of Tests they played, or their batting averages and number of centuries in first class cricket, to get a relative idea of where these two players stand in the pantheon of cricketing greats. Picking Paynter over Hammond is like picking Voges over Smith. And this is before even considering Hammond's additional skills as the best slip fielder of his generation and a very useful medium pace bowler.
