Round 6 rules:

Select a player who batted as an opener in at least one test. Invalid selections will be replaced by the next valid player in alphabetic order who has played a minimum of 10 tests.

I was pleased to see that a number of you followed the rules this time, even if only in the letter of the law, rather than the spirit.
