Lack of a spin option, though I blame this on the fact that Jason Brown never won an England cap.

I would have 3 spinners in my team Tuffnel, croft and Monty and 2 pacemen Gladsone Small and Allan Mullaly

Alan Mullally was a god amongst men.

Guess I go back a bit further than some of you guys but I reckon this lot would give most teams a run for their money.

G. Boycott

G Gooch

D Gower

T. Graveney

K Pietersen

I Botham

A Knott wkt

R Illingworth Cpt

J Snow

D Underwood

R Willis

Illingworth was captain in 70/71 when we won the ashes in Australia 2-0 in a 7 test series and we won the final test in Sydney in a pretty close match I seem to recall to clinch a series win.

I would have that wicket keeper with the big tash in for sure. Can't remember his name but he was a regular when I was a kid.

Probably an Aussie called Rod Marsh in the 80's

Jack Russell that's him. I used to think I was him at school when we played cricket. He retired alot later than I thought if wiki is correct (1998).

Just googled Rod Marsh and I recognize the face. I just about remember him retiring I think.

No Ashley Giles? lol

No Ashley Giles? lol

Like I said, I was searching for a spin option. :P

Harsh on the King of Spain I know, did fantastically with both bat and ball in the '05 Ashes.
