this will probably sound a bit creepy but i was lying awake last night too thinking of anyone we had missed from the "A" team
thankfully it didn't morph into a dream about BA Baracus

First ever Test centurion was a B, but I'm not sure he did much else.
I had Bill Bowes in my side by the way. Not going to get into this though.

Richie Benaud? Not as keeper.
Yes, Boucher. Get him in.

Basil Butcher of the West Indies? Probably have Boony ahead of him.

Not sure you'd leave anyone out for those two. Only really need a more substantial bowler than Bish maybe as his career was so short. Possibly a great opener for Boon.

was just looking at his cricinfo page after you mentioned him and this line in his bio made me laugh
Commentator Charles Fortune once described the often-untidy Barlow as running in to bowl "looking like an unmade bed".
