I will pick :eng: :bat: Plum Warner on behalf of @CerealKiller.
:eng: :bat: "Plum" Warner
622 runs @ 23.92 (best 132*, 1 century) from 15 Test matches
29,028 runs @ 36.28 (best 244, 60 centuries) from 521 first-class matches
The Grand Old Man of English cricket left behind him a legacy that...
:ind: :bat: KC Ibrahim (1 point)
169 runs @ 21.12 (best 85) in 4 Test matches
4,716 runs @ 61.24 (14 centuries, best 250) in 60 first-class matches

Caretaker pick for @CerealKiller
:aus: :bwl: Glenn McGrath
563 wickets @ 21.64 (29 5WI, best 8/24) in 124 Test matches
I'm not sure whether @CerealKiller will appreciate my spending 29 more of his points here, but when one already has Warne, it seems natural to add "and McGrath" to that...

No right-handed batters can bat above number 9, or above any left-handed batter (this is to make sure players like Trent...
