Very tempting to go Barry Richards, but Richie Benaud and Bradman thought that Peter May was the best post-War English batsman of the lot.

May was the finest batsman in arguably the best and most balanced line-up England ever put in the field - Bradman

Miandad

 

[kyear2]

Clyde Walcott

Was thinking Barry, but still not likely to gain any traction.

 

[trundler]

Weekes and Nourse should be getting in soon too but I think Miandad first. And Dravid too before 25.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Miandad

Weekes and Nourse should be getting in soon too but I think Miandad first. And Dravid too before 25.

Miandad does deserve a place as well.
