In this episode we try and pick England's greatest ever bowling attack!

The rules of our picks are the following

• We pick a player based on their absolute peak
• We have to include at least one spinner
• We have to include a genuine all-rounder
• We assume that our bowling attack will randomly play somewhere in the world and as such has to be balanced appropriately!

We don't quite agree about this team in truth! Let us know your thoughts in the comments and on our social media platforms!
