I reckon Bruce Reid. The Windies would've picked him as a left-armer and he'd walk into every other side in history.

That's if he could walk that day.

I don't get how this works. Any player suggested can't improve the team that they came from so everyone is inelligable.

Would Maurice Tate make WI 80s?
Eddie Barlow another option; averaged 75 in Australia and maybe slightly worse player than Woolley.
Some guy who is worse than Martyn generally but comfortably better than Martyn in Australia / bouncy pitches and would thus be picked over him even overseas could be an option.
Rhodes makes every team comfortably as either a spinning AR or opener - except Aus 00s, dammit

Tate might. Gives a strong tail with Dujon at 7, Tate at 8, and Marshall at 9.
Eddie Barlow couldn't make the Invincibles top 6.
Rhodes vs Mankad would be interesting

Or may be Frank Worrell because KP might not be able to break into Sobers + 3W combination that did play a few tests together iirc.

He never batted 6 at test level. Played 3 tests at 5 in 1970 bcos of Mr B Richards moving into opener.

Worrell is an amazingly good "worst" player.
Can't be a bowler, or a bowling AR without being a legit ATG. WI have pace locked up (I don't think sacrificing a chunk of bowling to bolster the batting a fraction in a 4 man attack works) and at least one of Aus (twice) and India have spin covered.
Answer has to be an (extremely good) ATVG bat, or a decent bat who adds enough with the ball to be worth axing a stronger bat for.

Ironmonger, Grimmett, O'Reilly... big, big no.
