No wayLillee in for Garner

By the way, curious to know, do you rate Beefy above Garner as a bowler ?

He should be in for Donald tbh. Allan was never a risk of having a heart attack, let's be honest.Fred Trueman is a lock in place of Cairns

Tony Gray often forgotten.There are so many options among bowlers who played less than 50 Tests

TPC should end up playing well above 75 tests. Haven't included any current players hence. Cairns and Bedi are obviously replacable, but not getting better options for that criteria.He should be in for Donald tbh. Allan was never a risk of having a heart attack, let's be honest.
There's hopefully a better spinner around than Bedi who qualifies. Terrific bloke and a very good bowler, but you'd hope for better.
Edit: shame current players DNQ. Could ditch Cairns and bat TPC at four. That line up would be very very difficult to bowl out twice.
Trueman was an ATG but there is sizable disparity between home and away records. He had great peer reputation and self proclaimed himself as "the greatest bowler who ever drew breath", but White Lightning still wins it for me, not by much though.cant imagine fred trueman not making it to the team
How could I have missed Benaud ? His inclusion makes it easy for me to include Trueman or Lillee in the team.I will give it a try for 50-74 tests

Not sure, but I feel like this is probably comparable to a not 50-74 tests, mostly due to bradman. Not a fan of grout ahead of of gilchrist, or benuad ahead of whoever, but most of the other calls are really marginal, even if i would have picked almost no none of these guys in my first XI.How could I have missed Benaud ?
