You can make a pretty strong XI out of players alive today who made their Test debut at least 60 years ago:
Colin McDonald
Bob Simpson*
Everton Weekes
Neil Harvey
Ted Dexter
Gary Sobers
Jim Parks+
Alan Davidson
Wes Hall
Sonny Ramadhin
Lance Gibbs
with John Reid, Rohan Kanhai, Ray Illingworth and Chandu Borde all also eligible. Weekes and Harvey both debuted nearly 71 years ago.

Bruce Mitchell
Don Bradman*

Neil Harvey
John Reid
Wilfred Rhodes
Alan Davidson
Tiger Smith+
Harold Larwood
Sydney Barnes
with Bill Ponsford, Frank Woolley and Sonny Ramadhin also available picks.

I don't know how, but I accidentally stumbled on Red Hill's post there a few hours ago. Here's my xi of never saw (but wish I did):
1) WG Grace
2) Gavaskar (if I could take a camera for footage, it'd be Trumper)
3) Bradman
4) Greg Chappell (could very easily be Graeme Pollock)
5) Viv
6) Hadlee
7) Knott
8) O'Reilly
9) Thommo
10) Barnes
11) Spofforth

Not since people have been LOLing.When was the last time anyone guffawed?
Making it an international XI with Kane Williamson, Richie Richardson and Stanley Jackson would strengthen the batting (and you could consider Tyson, Anderson and Tom Richardson as bowlers).
They could play against
Charles Bannerman
Vinoo Mankad
Donald Bradman
Darren Lehmann
Vijay Manjrekar
VVS Laxman
Barry Jarman+
George Lohmann
Fred Trueman
Tich Freeman
Terry Alderman
