    What are the 5 greatest bowling attacks ever fielded?

    By "on paper" do you mean "assuming they're all about at their average level"? Then it's probably fine. (If it means "assuming the're all at their peaks", that Aus mid-50s attack would probably rank even higher).

    Bradman Connection Draft

    He was always a dentist - he took a couple of years off from dentistry when Lancashire offered him the captaincy in 1947. Despite his short FC career he played 8 Tests, one as captain (in the only Test where Headley captained WI).
