He was a filler, but he was also a unique and pioneering bowler that had one of the most difficult googlies to pick and had the ability to torment batsmen. Just look at the way he bowled his leg-break in the provided picture.
Also Barry Richards would easily make the SA list (possibly win it) and he only played 4 Tests. No. of Tests is important but not the only thing.
I expect Ponsford to deservedly go through, so Im going to give a vote to sublime, natural and unorthadox genius. Iverson

Ponsford for me too. Iverson is really more of an interesting curio than a genuinely great player. At least with Richards one has a long & distinguished first-class career to judge him by; Iverson may've been unlucky with the war & injuries, but there's too much guess-work involved for mine.
