i found a wisden article that discussed the best keepers throughout test history and he was supposedly very highly thought of by his peers

edit : altho it did only cover up to the 1970s

Jimmy Cook is credible as an opener, just that his career coincided with the SA ban.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Just checked Chetan Chauhan, the old opening partner of Gavaskar. He played 40 Tests, never scored a ton and averaged 31. I think he's up there with Brearley for most runs without a ton.

Dinesh Chandimal is an alternative keeper.

Colin Cowdrey? Plenty of middle order bats to choose from, but not many bowlers.

[braveneutral]

Shiv for me.

A Cook standing for Any Cook?

[braveneutral]

Cronje.

[rich1uk]

from what i can see there are only 3 bowlers with names beginning with C that have taken 200+ test wickets, we already have chandrasekar and cairns, caddick is the other one
