State Captain
For the Windies, based on actual history,

1. Sobers
2. Lara
3. Lloyd*
4. Richards
5. Kanhai
6. Gomes
7. Solomon
8. Dujon(wk)
9. Walsh
10. Ambrose
11. Gibbs

But, if history had gone differently, my gramps Ivor Mendonca would replace Dujon as keeper and #7.

Yeah, he was actually that good.
No Weekes,Walcott,Worrell,Gilchrist,Hall,Roberts let alone Headley aka "The Black Bradman"

Roy Gilchrist Brief Stats

I would agree that the 3 W's would be in my team but Roy Gilchrist?
Career Statistics

Test Matches

From 1957 to 1959, Roy played in 13 test matches. He took fifty seven wickets at an average of 26.68. His best bowling figures were 6 for 55. Roy also scored 60 runs at an average of 5.45, with a highest score of 12. He took 4 catches in his test career.

First Class Games

In his 42 first class games, Roy took 167 wickets at an average of 26.00, with a best bowling of 6 for 16. He also scored 258 runs at an average of 7.81, with a highest score of 43 not out. He also took 10 catches.

While he was a very volatile character he would have to be in very serious consideration for an all time WI side

He must have been a better player then those figures suggest as they are pretty ordinary tbh mate

faulkner was a splendid wrist spinner. since he can add more variety to this bowling attack (donald, p.pollock and s.pollock - pace. tayfield - off spin. kallis - fast medium) i prefer him as the all-rounder to proctor.

colin was great fielder and a good batter. but nourse, g.pollockand kallis were better batsmen (and kallis could bowl and field well too). so i've gone for them.

Hmm I'll do a West Indian one because they're more fun that Australia lol

1.D Haynes
2.C Hunte
3.G Headley
4.V Richards*
5.B Lara
6.G Sobers
7.J Dujon+
8.M Marshall
9.M Holding
10.C Ambrose
11.J Garner

Very harsh on the 3 W's and Lance Gibbs, but neither of those 3 were openers and I just couldnt bring myself to pick them over either of Lara, Richards, Headley or Sobers. Also couldnt leave out any of those 4 quicks and Sobers bowled spin.
