A Shane Watson XI?

Was trying to find a XI of players who had a tendency to get out LBW but couldn't find proportional stats (ie % of dismissals as LBW)

Don Tallon was just 8 runs short

Pity Warnie and Starc had to get out on 99, you would have had a very strong bowling lineup then.

Tas born test XI.

Badcock
Boon
Ponting
Doolan

I liked Woolley better than Wade or Paine.
Preferred SY to JF. And Ring in front of X obviously.

A bit rough to leave Sir Aubrey Smith out of that pace battery.

A bit rough to leave Sir Aubrey Smith out of that pace battery.

Career bowling average of 8.7 is decent, even if it is only from 1 match
