The list headed by two Aussies, Warren Bardsley and Allan Border, followed by two from West Indies in Garfield Sobers and Shiv Chanderpaul. All left handers. And then... Joe Root, followed by Don Bradman! Well done Joe. Then highest placed Asian batter, Dilip Vengsarkar, famous for three tons there in the eighties. Then Trotty.
It's a venue where England captains have done well in recent years, with Vaughan, Gooch, Strauss and Hussain averaging over 50, and Stewart 45. Cook is down at 40 (3 tons in 32 innings), but maybe Root's 84.4 will be more relevant come the 21st of May.
Gooch and Vaughan have the most tons at HQ with six, then Strauss and KP on five, and Bell and Lamb on four.

Lyth for Trott looks a certainty.
