I'll take Bill Voce then.
When a player's career is so evenly split between eras, common sense should apply though. Compton's 39th Test was the Sydney Test of 1951 - 5 days out. He scored 3,190 of his 5,807 runs in the era in question, and 13 out of 17 hundreds. You said people have the right to question a pick; I'm giving the answers as to why Compton should be considered part of that era. 1928-50 is far more Compton's era than 1951-1970. And people should stop being such whiny bitches, it's not like I was trying to pick Keith Miller ffs.

Aw, ump, it only pitched just outside leg, but that's all there was wrong with it. Horrible shot, hitting a third of the way up middle, common sense means the batsman should be out blah blah blah
Anyhow welcome back GF

He does, a la OP. Amazed it took until now to pick him.
Himannv
Hall of Fame Member
Just got back from reading the OP myself. Quite surprised that he wasn't picked so I had a hard time believing he came all the way down to me.
Blakus
State Vice-Captain
Actually, I thought he was unavailable this round. Turns out I didn't read the OP properly and forgot to count 1950 as part of this era. Still I'm reasonably happy with Duleep
