1. Mark Taylor
2. Marcus Trescothick

4. Sachin Tendulkar
5. Graham Thorpe
6. Ross Taylor
7. Hashan Tillakaratne
8. Fred Trueman
9. Frank Tyson
10. Jeff Thomson
11. Hugh Tayfield

Possible last quibbles:
Maurice Tate for Frank Tyson...

Boycott named Tate among the four best England pace bowlers, on C5 commentary today. But then two more of his picks, Lohmann and Anderson, didn't make their letter teams either.
