Durham really should win it, as long as we learn to play spin better and can get a settled opening partnership going, i.e. Stoneman produces consistent runs. That said, Coetzer is beginning to really shine and could possibly open, though I like the idea of him at 3. We should have a home grown talent at 3 as it's the most batting position and overseas pros will come and go, chop and change as we have this year with three of them. Anyway, I expect Mustard to up his game with the bat and hope Ben Harmison or Gordon Muchall can, but Muchall has been ridiculously inconsistent for years. Will Smith can't get above 30 opening, so maybe he's a middle order option? Here's the team I'd play, and surprisingly the batting looks the most solid I've seen it for a long time:

Di Venuto
Stoneman
Coetzer
Chanderpaul/McKenzie
Collingwood
*Benkenstein
+Mustard
Plunkett
Harmison/Wiseman
Davies
Onions

With Smith, Ben Harmison, Garry Park and Muchall as batting backups, and Goddard as the backup keeper (if I've got his name right!). Of our home batsmen, only Colly will be away for substantial parts of the summer and Mustard will probably not figure in tests without a consistent season of four-day runs behind him.

And a one-day/Twenty20 side to suggest:

Mustard+
Di Venuto
Coetzer
Benkenstein*
Collingwood
Breese
Muchall
Plunkett
Harmison
Davies/Wiseman (I'm not sure Davies' lack of pace is good for Twenty20, but I'd have him in the one-day games and taking the pace off with two spinners would be effective.
