All legends at at 3-8 in the batting order. And at least one batter left out. Virate does at least have two fine bats coming in after him.

Statswise, maybe the best bowler ever was an L. George Lohmann.

Lock would be a great second spinner.

Rashid Latif, Pakistan keeper.

Garth le Roux had a good reputation in the years SA were banned, but couldn't displace any of these pacers.

possible keeper here, found him via a wisden article on the history of keeping

http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/con ... 16293.html

batting stats aren't great but he gets a very good write-up as a pure keeper

Probably him, or Latif as a batter-keeper, rather than Lees.
