3. Sir Donald Bradman – Let’s face it, who better to walk out at 3 after Sehwag has got out trying to smash his first ball for 6 than the greatest batsman ever? Exactly. Bradman faced tough competition from Jonathan Trott but eventually triumphed after I concluded that Trott’s pre-ball rituals would annoy me too much. Also the opportunity to bring back Bradman from the dead to play for me was too good an opportunity to miss.
