One for a couple of threads but Tom Graveney was interviewed by Sky and he said that it was the best tail in cricket history and this is the best England team since 1953, not quite as good as them yet though but ahead of any other England side since. Seeing as he has seen more than most of us on here he obviously knows what he is on about.

I still believe a tail of Mcmillan,Pollock, Klusener and Symcox and a tail of Cairns, Harris, Nash and Vettori are better than the current teams. So thats two I can think of quickly and there might be more..Agree with the current tail being the best of the English sides though..

SL once had Dharmasena, Chandana, Vaas and Muralitharan as the tail. First three have FC hundreds and Vaas has a test hundred too.

But it's hard to beat Pollock, Symcox, Klusener, Donald combo. Once NZ had Dion Nash, Shane Thompson, Chris Harris and Morrison as the tail. Last one is a rabbit, but other three are capable batsmen.
