Now some decisions are hard to make, but some are just absurd! Ian Healy, Rod Marsh, Don Tallon, Bert Oldfield - they are the great keepers that Australia has had. Adam Gilchrist is NOT in the same class! It's true his batting was outstanding but that's not what the role of the keeper is. It is to keep wickets!!! If you've got a strong batting lineup, that extra batting strength is even more uneccessary.
I find the bowlers the hardest to choose.
Shortlist:
Bowlers:
Spinners - O'Reilly, Grimmett, Warne. Pacemen - Lindwall, K.Miller (AR), Lillee, Thomson, McGrath. How do you leave any of those bowlers out?
Batsmen:
Openers - Morris, Ponsford, Simpson, Hayden
Middle-Order - Bradman, G.Chappell, Ponting, Border
I'm confident with the first seven. Not at all confident about the bowlers. You could use any of those shortlisted there. Anyhow bugger popular opinion. I'm going to go with what feels right. Lillee and Thommo! and O"Reilly and Grimmett! Warnie can lug the drinks to lose a bit of excess fat.
