And of course, Morris, Mitchell, McCabe et al, will probably find Barnes, Benaud, Botham and Bedser more difficult than the attacks they faced in their careers. Would be a good match.yeah... the tinkered one looks better.
And Matt, no way mate... Bradman > all........
I would have Barnes as opener in place of Bannerman who did next to nothing after his century in the first ever Test match.Beat the Bs.........
Bannerman
Boycott
Bradman
Border
Botham
Boucher
Barlow
Bedser
Benaud
Bedi
Barnes
Beat that........
Bring in Kevin Pietersen to bolster the batting.
