If one was to select a strongest side from the two sides together, up to and including current test, what sort of line-up would you come up with? Given Broad out so not considering him, I would select from current England team plus Hussey, Siddle, Haddin and Watson. Would be too close to call for the keeper, would have Hussey for Colly. May be tempted Siddle for Bresnan but again close, and would like to fit Watson in there to. Given the squad ive chosen i reckon had i said at start of the series no place for Ponting or Clarke i would have been suprised

1. Strauss
2. Cook
3. Trott
4. Hussey
5. Bell
6. Watson
7. Prior
8. Broad
9. Swann
10. Siddle
11. Anderson

That would be my Eng/Aus team.

I'd swap Harris for Siddle and Tremlett for Broad (but, if the game were being played at Perth, Johnson at 8)
