Me too, definately. Best I could come up with:

Wilfred Rhodes, Vinoo Mankad, Wally Hammond, Jacques Kallis, Garry Sobers, Keith Miller, Ian Botham, Imran Khan, Jim Parks+, Richie Benaud*, Richard Hadlee

Not sure what counts as a wicketkeeping allrounder. I suppose you could have Gilly or someone as the best wicket-keeper-batsman, I went for Parks as wicketkeeper-batsman-legspinner.

I tried to bat everyone in their natural position or below, though I'm not sure Hammond would be an allrounder or not at Test level. If not, near misses were Kapil, Wooley, and Wasim Akram.
