[NUFAN]

Jager, I think you used an old suggested batsman list - Sangakkara, Lloyd, Macartney are all chosen.


1 Ted Dexter, Martin Crowe and Doug Walters
2 Bill Lawry and Conrad Hunte - I love these two as a pair, I just think they would work superbly together.

 

[Cabinet96]

1) Inzamam ul-Haq, Mohammad Yousuf, Mahela Jayawardene
2) Graeme Smith, Dennis Amiss

Jager, I think you used an old suggested batsman list - Sangakkara, Lloyd, Macartney are all chosen.

Yeah, I have two different shortlists, one from the previous posts and one on my computer, they're so mixed up cheers for the pointer.

Going to leave this one going for a few more hours, it might help split the middle order into clear victors.

 

[Jager]

Alright, gave it an extra four hours, I'll do the deciding then. Kanhai slots into third position because Crowe got the most votes, therefore bats at his preferred position (fourth). I went with Inzamam because he slots into the fifth position nicer than May and in my opinion, a superior batsman to Dexter. Smith was one vote clear in the opening department, whereas Sehwag stole the show with six votes.
1. G Smith
2. V Sehwag
3. R Kanhai
4. M Crowe
5. Inzamam ul-Haq
