Since Gary Ballance did play for Zimbabwe towards the end of his career, is he a chance to get into Zimbabwe all time test second XI?
Who's this guy procter? Sounds like if he played today then with a bit of hardwork he might be as good as Jaddu.Procter wasn’t born there or anything, but represented Rhodesia in FC during his absolute batting peak, if not his bowling.
Procter for Rhodesia:
46 matches 3662 runs @ 48.82, 11 tons 186 wickets @ 18.52, 8 5’fers
Gooch was brilliant.I'm guessing Gooch at 5 is a typo

Barnes was by most accounts a spinner and he obviously has a great record. If we aren't counting Barnes as a spinner, then maybe Verity for Anderson.On SA:
No Graeme Smith?? Kirsten really played his best in the middle order. Also, Faulkner was a batting allrounder, he used to bat at 3-5; should definitely bat ahead of Proctor.
On England:
No spinners?? Surely, Laker, Verity, Underwood or Rhodes could come in for Snow or Anderson, as there are already 5 pacers/medium pacers.
Barnes was a medium pacer by most accounts I believe; to begin with he was a new ball bowler.Barnes was by most accounts a spinner and he obviously has a great record. If we aren't counting Barnes as a spinner, then maybe Verity for Anderson.
I know Anderson has had a better career than Snow overall, but I think the attack would be more unbalanced if you took John out because swing bowlers (Trueman and Botham) are still there. Snow is the point of difference hit the deck beast.
Anderson might have to make way then because I think England would suffer more without Snow in a hypothetical all time xi tournament.Barnes was a medium pacer by most accounts I believe; to begin with he was a new ball bowler.
Yep, I could see an argument for that, though Anderson was definitely the greater bowler, Snow might be more effective in this situation. Also, I think Faulkner should definitely bat higherAnderson might have to make way then because I think England would suffer more without Snow in a hypothetical all time xi tournament.
Interesting how you managed to put a keeper at 6 in every side bar the Windies, thus giving every other team an extra bowler and making the Windies the third best attack at best.Australia

Yeah Saqlain's my go for the Pak spinner.Interesting how you managed to put a keeper at 6 in every side bar the Windies, thus giving every other team an extra bowler and making the Windies the third best attack at best.
I still seriously have no idea how people are picking Qadir for a side - he was ****ing atrocious outside of Pakistan. Its like picking Warner to open in an Aussie ATG XI, but worse. At least Warner has a couple of other places where he was successful.
Yeah probably should have picked Saqlain there.Interesting how you managed to put a keeper at 6 in every side bar the Windies, thus giving every other team an extra bowler and making the Windies the third best attack at best.

I was a bit disbelieving of PEWS' mantra that CW posters tend to massively overrate Faulkner's bowling and massively underrate his batting, but seeing this side...South Africa
