Didn't see it, but an intriguing innings v SL in Kandy, batting at three, in league with Martyn in a low scoring game.

I suspect that just because a keeper is a top class batter, this encourages the purist to hold it against their keeping.

Went for Knott to try to make things interesting

Looks like a Gilchrist win though and fair enough too.

I think someone's changed their vote. Gilly's back in charge.

I'll be moving on to spinners today.

I'll do number six after the vote is shut for 4&5.

This one finishes today, so it looks like

Hobbs
Sutcliffe
Bradman
Border
Waugh
Blank
Gilchrist.

Please vote for the number six, spinner and pace bowlers.
