Earlier today I found this XI on page 431. Very strong.

Nicely done by RH. Can't really think of any way to improve that side. Maybe Roach for Griffith as SCC suggested, or possibly even Sylvers, but his Test record is a little underwhelming I suppose.

Barbados drawing more similarities to NSW than what was thought at first glance ;-)

I don't know of NSW's prowess at this current time...but Barbados have sucked in the regional 4-day competition in the past few years.

But, I don't want to he complacent, there is a Bajan whom I admire at the moment: Justin Greaves. I like his technique...a cross between Kraigg Brathwaite and Roston Chase.

It's more that Barbados & NSW are both regional teams that everyone else hates. Mainly due to their successes.

If there's a NSW player that I admire it'd have to be Simon Katich, even though he's really a West Australian.

Don Bradman

Victor Trumper
Steve Waugh/Monty Noble
Adam Gilchrist +
Ray Lindwall
Allan Davidson
Bill OReilly
Glenn McGrath

Might be stretching a bit having Bradman, Harvey and Gilchrist, but they played for NSW.

Harvey is way too much of a stretch IMO. I know he did play for NSW at the end of his career but he spent the majority of his FC career playing for Victoria, and more importantly he was born and bred in Victoria. If you're counting him you may as well count Miller who at least spent the majority of his career playing Shield cricket for NSW. Also Border should count if you're including Bradman or Gilchrist.

Haddin would be a decent shout for the NSW side, but if anything Oldfield probably has the strongest claim

If you consider Gilchrist a WAussie (I'd still count him as a NSWman but am aware he played **** all for us) then Oldfield should be next in line, yeah.

Yeah, it's hard for me to think of Gilly as a NSWelshman. Admittedly you could make up teams for players' state of origin, but I usually tend to categorize them according to the state they played for the most. If in doubt, SOO becomes the determining factor.
