60s Players in more modern era

shortpitched713

International Captain
Which players who played the bulk of their careers in the 60s ( other than Garry Sobers ), would you expect to do the best, in a more recent setting? Why?

My vote goes to Bill Lawry. A bit dour yes, in the style of the time, but he had really expansive strokeplay and intent when he got going, and the team situation could benefit from it.
 

Line and Length

Cricketer Of The Year
Graham McKenzie would benefit from being part of a 3 or 4 man pace attack rather than carrying the bulk of the work on his broad shoulders.

Like Archer and Wood?
Knew someone would bring Archer up. He was poorly managed but it's unlikely Snow was as fast as them and thus less likely to break down. Not sure how Wood has been particularly mismanaged. Sometimes players are just injury prone. He has a very loose and heavy action, unlike Snow.
