[Valer]

Aubrey Faulkner

 

[Jager]

Alan Davidson. Perfect bowler for the OD format. Economical and being a left armer adds nice variety. More than handy lower order bat as well.

Great pick, but Davo's wicket-taking ability should not be overlooked, either. Deadly accurate, sure, but not just there for control. Probably the best pure bowler pick so far

 

[morgieb]

Trevor Goddard.

 

[Red]

Victor Trumper. Would be an ODI sensation.

Neil Harvey

I think he'd be one hell of a finisher in the Hussey/Bevan mould. He was a quick scorer, lightning fast feet and could hit over the top when he needed to.

[AndyZaltzHair]

Absolutely nailed by rvd about Neil Harvey; he would have been great finisher

 

[morgieb]

Stan McCabe. Good batsman who would score runs at a tidy pace.

 

[Dan]

Les Ames - Opening / Wk

George Headley - Finisher.

Bastard..

I'll take Sir Everton Weekes.
He could score quickly, was technically brilliant, good in the field and, IMO, would be great at working the gaps in the middle overs, while still hitting boundaries. He was described as Bradman-like in the way he kept the scoreboard ticking over.

Very nice selection - I think he scored at around 80 runs per hour, IIRC. Good, big-hitting all-rounder. Damn good with the ball, too.

 

[Red]

CTB Turner to join my bowling attack. I have no doubts he'd have been an incredible ODI bowler.
