5. Collingwood
6.
7. Flintoff
8.
9. Swann
10. Gough
11. Anderson
12. Underwood/Croft/Tredwell

Two places to fill, with a keeper needed and an all rounder. Then a vote to leave one out the twelve.

Please pick one keeper from the above options.

Jos

no Mustard?

I'm part of the biased southern mafia.

I went Jos, he seems best candidate by a distance. Though there are better keepers out there. But Buttler would be a key batter in this XI.

[Durhamfootman]

Buttler won't give you the flying start that Mustard would

anyway... Mustard's a west country boy these days, so *modded* him!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Have a vote anyway.

[Durhamfootman]

okay

[Arthur Crabtree]

Remember when the keeper had to open because that's what Adam Gilchrist did.

[Gingerfinch]

Has to be Buttler.

[DiligentDefence]

Even I can't find an argument for Taylor or Knott in ODI's so Buttler it is. Bairstow does come into consideration though.

Looks like it's going to be Buttler. Which gives us:

Trescothick
Hales
Root
Pietersen
Collingwood
Buttler
Flintoff
All-rounder
Swann
Gough
Anderson
Underwood/Croft/Tredwell

and then leave one out of the twelve.
