    England were dogshit for ages.

    Jimmy Anderson is as good a swing bowler as there has been.

    Dan gets my vote if nothing else for the years he spent carrying us. Bowl a shitload on an unsuitable deck. Take wickets. Also keep the scoring rate down. Also come in at 5-120 and score 70-odd to avoid the follow-on. I'm surprised he can walk given his back must be wrecked.

    Haha, I remember as a kid I used to think it was great when we didn't avoid the follow on as I got to see us bat again. Bearing in mind watching us bowl usually involved watching the opposition post 500+

    Pietersen ? Style and a bit of mongrel.

    England have had a bunch of ‘good’ players over this period but fuck all legends.

    Based on that Gooch and Boycott get in. Bob Willis too ?

    Herath also took over 400 wickets

    My soft spot is for Jayasuriya who got me in a lot of troubles with drinking games through the nineties lol, not a bad player either

    even as i typed out Vaas i knew Herath was the better choice. I just really liked Chaminda, that's all

    Windies

    Richards
    Marshall
    Lara
    Ambrose
    Still deciding on a fifth

    Given 50 years hits the 70's this is tough

    Sobers, Greenidge, Lloyd, Holding, Garner, Walsh

    and more recently Chanderpaul

    this is a tough 5!

    Sobers misses out cos of the time frame

    I’d have to pick Garner, Holding or Walsh out of that bunch.
