Joey Benjamin took about 4-80 in his only Test, from memory. A The Oval one capper.
In my lifetime team, Willis, Flintoff, Botham feels obvious, and then the other choice could be almost anyone, but I have Angus Fraser down, out of the pack. He did well against WI, which was the ultimate test of the time. He was a key to some sensational wins in a time when the odd victory against the odds was the best you could expect. And, even though much was against him, he had the best average of the candidates.

Weren't the Aussies more of a powerhouse, certainly in the batting department, when Fraser played, for most part of his career?

West Indies were considered the best team until 1995 when Waugh's Aussies beat them, so that was for most of Fraser's career. But, you could argue that Australia's batting was better.
