But...

...test quality batsmen?  The Yorkshire side has five (Lyth, Root, Balance, Williamson, Bairstow) and the England side three (Cook, Bell, Ali) - I'm including Lyth and Ali on the same basis, they've both made quality test match hundreds.  Bresnan, Rashid and Plunkett are more than decent in the middle order too...

As for bowling - England would field Anderson, Broad, Mr X, Stokes, Ali.  X being Wood, Finn or perhaps Woakes.  Yorkshire Sidebottom, Brooks, Bresnan, Plunkett, Rashid.  England have the best individual - Anderson - and a great streak bowler but for pace its a close thing, and Yorkshire have the better third/fourth seamers and a miles better spinner...

Bairstow???
Balance ??
Lyth??

All the above aren't really test quality. England should prevail really due to depth but tbh.. Stocks are bare so it'd probably come down to on the day

The most controversial element of this thread is seeing Woakes in an England test side

One averages over 50...the other two I agree a cynical Southerner might disagree on, but they've shown enough to suggest they're close...

It is quite funny - I remember the Olympics and the commentator stating that if Yorkshire was a Country then they would be quite high on the medal table in their own right!! And now if you look at their Cricket team, they seem to be pretty strong as well! It must be the tea they drink!!!!!!
Take a bow Yorkshire  :D

Reasonable to say the 12th Man was ferrying a lot of drinks on to the bowlers in the morning.

maybe it was a tactical gifting of the title to our B side? :)

I can't believe super James Middlebrook doesn't get in either side. ;)
