All Time England XI game

AndrewB

International Vice-Captain
Walter Robins | Cricket Players and Officials | ESPNcricinfo

He should feature more prominently in historical discussions, even though he was a minnow basher and sucked both in and against Australia. Decent batsman too,
The "against" part of that is a bit unfair - he only played 2 home Tests against Australia, and in the first he scored 50* and 4 and took 7-132. (He didn't do much in the second, but since Australia scored 729-6, nor did any of his team-mates).

A 10 person tie and I dont especially love picking both players that a person selected, but just feel that Andrews 2 picks are the best.

Has this guy been picked yet?

Edit: Literally just selected :laugh:
He won a test against Australia and in his tour out here suffered from the effects of a broken hand (iirc). His biggest regret must have been turning down a spot for the bodyline tour. He may have pipped Verity for the spinner's spot.

I can't recall seeing JC White's name. He's about the only spin bowler who effectively won a series out here since the first world war. That's the bigger travesty.
