Next up we pick Jacob Oram. Not only did he have admirable bigness, but he also averaged 36.76 with the bat in home conditions to go with 41 wickets at 18.75.

And he's going to bat at eight.

Richie Benaud. My original pick for the leg spinner role was going to be Shane Warne before he got poached. Comparatively, he has 31 fewer wickets in 7 fewer games. But he does boast a bowling average better than Warne, even if the gap is not that significant. The bigger positive tho, are his batting numbers. Warne has pitiful batting numbers whereas Benaud averages 54.83 from 7 innings with two centuries to his name. A better batting pick compared to Warne (without contest) and a better bowling pick than Warne, ever-so-slightly.

Genuinely can't believe Bart King was allowed to stand

Also funny to see the very different approaches here - you've gone legends who happened to do well in SA, whereas I've gone for (relatively) niche players who have done confusingly well in NZ.
