Which pace bowlers are you going to take to surmount the specific challenges of bowling in Test cricket at:
The 'Gabba
The Adelaide Oval
The WACA
The MCG
The SCG?

Good tip. I left out Finn and Tremlett on your say so, to pick Onions. And I'll tell Rushworth to make sure he pays his phone bill.

I can't do a poll on spinners because it's too depressing. I'm assuming we have a pair to take the two polls up to 16.

Next year it will be your bowlers filling the ranks of Lions teams so Warwickshire can take the championship back.

I had about 25 names for both, but had to prune. Hence, no Kieswetter, no Chris Wright. It shows the clout of the Keith Barker supporters on the board (Kim) that he survived the cut.

I reckon Miller will do a Sven and only take four strikers on tour, with one of them being Theo Walcott. ;)

I have gone for Anderson, Broad, Rankin, Onions, Bresnan and Tremlett. But I'll also have Stokes as an AR.

I think you've got 16, without even having any spinners Shanky. Nine batters, six fast bowlers and an all rounder. Two spinners gives you 18.

If they've got a back up squad, surely they won't have more than 16. That's why I restricted the voting. Though I should have given 9 batting spaces and six fast bowling spaces, and asked posters not to use one of the votes from either poll.

I have 17. 9 batsmen, 6 pacers, 1 AR and Swann. If you want only 16, leave out Tremlett or Stokes. Maybe Tremlett as he hasn't been at his best and Stokes offers a 5 bowler option.
