His 200 knock at Edgbaston was one of the finest innings I have witnessed. In comparison, he took less than 300 balls for his knock, yet Boycott hit (I think) 150 in almost 400. I'm certain it was in Birmingham against India, but struggling for the year. Late 70's, possibly early 80's.

Anyhow, we are looking for an opening partnership folks, not the entire XI!

As stated in previous threads, I'm basing mine of players I have seen. I'm sticking with Gooch and thinking I should add Atherton to that. I would say Stewart, but along with Knotty was one of the better wicketkeepers over the years. But that debate is for a thread later.
