Aussie XI: Simpson | Lawry | Bradman | Chappell | Ponting | Miller* | Gilly +| Warne | O'Reilly| Lillee | McGrath |

Pommie XI: Hobbs | Sutcliffe | Hutton* | Hammond | Barrington | Compton | Knott +| Trueman | Snow | Larwood | Barnes |

Caribbean XI: Greenidge | Headley | Viv | Lara | Worrell* | Sobers | Dujon +| Marshall | Roberts | Garner | Ambrose |
George Headley never opened a test innings. When we start forcing people in positions they didn't play regularly or at all (Hutton) to cover other perceived weaknesses and forces as many stars into the team as possible and become too stat driven, this is a team one ends up with. Though Sobers and Worrell actually opened (and together).

Garry Sobers
Frank Worrell
George Headley
Viv Richards
Brian Lara
Everton Weekes
Clyde Walcott
Malcolm Marshall
Curtly Ambrose
Michael Holding
Joel Garner

Unbeatable, but is it right?
