Whoops, didn't realise it was Naman's missed pick he did there.

My bad it's Leo's pick
Sorry @RUDI

I certainly hadn't planned to make this pick, but I noticed that Fawad Alam was still available. His Test record of five centuries and a near-40 average stands up very well against the batters who are still available, and his non-Test first-class record of 38 centuries and an average of 60 leaves everyone else in the dust.

I can't ignore him, and Jimmy Adams shuffles up to number four to make him more comfortable at five.

Nathan Astle, 11 test centuries with 4700 test runs at almost 40 Average. Can bowl too with 50 test wickets. Good opening partner for Saeed Anwar.

Runs scored	542	3,336
Batting average	49.27	38.79

In 1953, Apte was selected for India's tour to West Indies, where at Port-of-Spain, he finished as the second highest scorer for India after Polly Umrigar. He played in only one first-class match in 1954, after which he was never selected on the national Indian team again. He maintained that his being dropped was "an unsolved mystery".Later on, in his autobiography, he states that soon after his run in the West Indies, his father was approached by chief selector Lala Amarnath for a share of the New Delhi base of their family's business, Kohinoor Mills. After his father politely declined the selector, Apte was never selected to represent India again. He joined his family's business and officially retired from international cricket at the age of 34, although he continued to play first class cricket.His last first-class game was the 1967–68 Ranji Trophy final between Bombay and Madras.

1. Dennis Amiss
3. Hashim Amla
5. Keith Arthurton
6. Ron Archer
7. Les Ames
10. Mushtaq Ahmed

Archer would have captained Australia if he didn't explode his knee in a one-off Pakistan Test in 1956. He won't captain my team, but he offers a very handy option with bat and ball.

I'm torn on which player to prioritize, but since I don't have a pacer yet I'll get Taskin Ahmed.
