Some really strong candidates here, obviously. Hammond's eight tons in twenty six innings (two unbeaten) in this position is, well, nearly Bradmanesque. Charles Macartney's record on Edwardian pitches is nearly, well, Bradmanesque.
http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine ... pe=battingBatting averages at three, minimum 800 runs.

Me too. Fortunately Hammond scrapes into the list for positions 4&5, so gets a proper chance. As does Gower.

Gower for me.
I wasn't around in The Don's playing days and although I have seen footage and been very much aware of his feats, the bloke seemed to be a total arse.

He's going to upset the dressing room?

He seemed to have this knack of upsetting everybody.

He was a bit aloof, but no KP

The not-Bradman vote is split, so this is going one way. Going to move onto to the middle order now. Poll open a few more days though.

This closes in an hour or so.
Hobbs, Sutcliffe, Bradman so far.
Please vote for the spinners I'll be putting up as soon as I get back from the shops.
