[Welwyn]

Seeing as I have lost the second best apartheid affected all-rounder. I'll take the best one.

Mike Procter​

A man with the tenth best bowling average in Test history (min. 10 wickets) and 48 first-class hundreds. Yet. At the minute, he slots in 8

@pillowprocter in case that merged tag didn't work

 

[Welwyn]

Yes, my team may just end up being the 69/70 Proteaswash of Australia squad lol

(Credit to Cricinfo's records section on player profiles)

The man in 40th place for most runs conceded in his Test career, in 22nd place for most wickets taken caught, and 7th place for most runs without a hundred... Malcolm Marshall.



Building a very good bowling lineup

7. Malcolm Marshall
8. Shane Warne

Now it is @Supreme General's turn

 

[Supreme General]

I’ll go with a bowler who was one of the fastest of his generation, back in the late 19th century and early 20th century and apparently bowled so fast he bowled a ball that went for 6 byes. With 489 FC wickets at 21.05, Charles Kortright.

Herbie Collins



@Viper.

 

[Viper.]

My second pick would be another bowler, one of the greatest test spinners of his country-



Herath Mudiyanselage Rangana Keerthi Bandara Herath will be the first spinner in my XI. The slow left arm orthodox spinner picked 433 wickets in 93 tests for Sri Lanka, at an average of 28.07. He also has a Test High Score of 80*

Tagging @ahmedleo414 who is up next.

Oh this is my bad - @ahmedleo414 is on holiday, but he told me his planned pick so that I could make it for him and not hold things up.



Dave Houghton

And the next pick is @CerealKiller

 

[CerealKiller]

Imran Khan
@Bigby Wolf

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Bigby Wolf's - Dad Army XI

My next pick is Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar

The God of cricket as they call him in India. The most complete batsman of all time In my books. Little Matsero hero and role model for many cricketers in India.

He only played 2 Tests after after 40 but that is more than enough to make him qualify for Dad's Army


@Bevab you go next.
