A team of players called Jones may well be stronger than the i team.

My back of an envelope 'H'' second string would thrash them:

Haynes
Hayden
Hendren
Hazare
Hooper
al Hasan
Haddin
Hughes
Harris R
Hogg
Harmison

Looking at the remaining omissions, it's possible a third XI would give them a decent game too!

Given x will be impossible, probably the weakest team until z.

Jadeja's numbers are good enough.

Don't think Julien beats these other bowlers. Jardine might make it at six.
