England's best ever bowling attack!

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!
