Don't know about the 'bastard' part, but Mike Procter was probably the best fast bowler of all-time among the 'fat' ones.

You could always call up Tim Robinson for a bit of cheeky mullet action.Mullet Hairdo XI
Not all big beefy mutant mullets but rest assured - all had one at some time in their career... Always thought the short mullet a'la Bruce Reid was just as ordinary on the eyes... Note: this is not a "big hair" XI or the likes of Imran/Lillee would walk straight in.
Sorry about the Australian bias. And I struggled to think of well known opening batsmen...
Not a bad side all the same and no surprise that they mostly played in the fashion decade of shame

Botham was legendary and the Waugh brothers kept the flame burning in the 90s. But for sheer grimness it's hard to beat Bruce Reid's vile number from the late 80s.
Edit: let's not forget the prime modern-day exponent, MP Vaughan:

Can someone help me with another opening bowler?
Take Warwick "the Big Ship" Armstrong as batting allrounder, Beefy can open the bowling.
Dwayne Leverock another fine option.

Jimmy Ormond, definitely fond of beer and pies, but was the best player in his family

Probably emanates from Austin Powers. And the bastard bit not to be taken literally.

WTF........Please. For God's sake. Do not insult the Pakistan wicket keeping tradition. We have had decent keepers in the past such as Imtiaz Ahmed, Bari, Latif, and Moin Khan. How come Akmal is the keeper in the Pakistan all time XI??? And who is the Khan in the reserves??? Majid Khan, Mohsin Khan, Shahid Khan, Sohail Khan?????
