I have assumed my team will initially be playing the other states for the right to play the top county from England and top provinces from India, Pakistan, South Africa and New Zealand. Therefore, the batsmen had to be able to handle Lillee, McKenzie and Massie at the Gabba and the Indian spinners in India. I have assumed that helmets were banned.
Norm O'Neill got a guernsey because he was my all-time favourite and because no one has ever looked better. Bob Simpson was the unlucky omission.
To win a "Test" you have to take 20 wickets. As all teams would have exceptionally strong batting line-ups, I have chosen five bowlers.
As Benaud would not have tolerated the Mason/Catholic nonsense he is the captain
