Establishing the best decade for cricket: Finding the ATG XI from 12 decades of test cricket - then having a KO tourney to decide the best

Cricketer Of The Year
Kanhai was by all accounts an incredible strokeplayer and certainly more of a specialist first drop than Barrington, as Kenny's innings were spread more evenly across 3-4-5. But in the 1960s:

- Kanhai played 66 innings at no.3, hit nine centuries and averaged 50.14
- Barrington played 40 innings at no.3, hit 13 centuries and averaged 77.24

I'd rather watch Kanhai bat, but I can't pick him ahead of Barrington here. I'll admit to some forward thinking, because I want Pollock at 4 rather than out of position at 5, and based on 1960s performances I really want to find a spot for Doug Walters.
