IMO Worrell does not stack up against some of the other #5 of the era.
Including him on the basis of the 3 W's is sentimentality getting in the way of logic, as is including him for his captaincy when Hutton was a great captain and an automatic pick as batsman on the team sheet - which Worrell frankly is not.
As for including him for his bowling!!! If that is the case, there really are no sufficient reasons left as in any case this side has potentially an attack equal to the 66 - 85 attack, if that is we wind up with Miller, Davidson, Lindwall, Trueman, and a spinner.
I would like to vote for Barrington as I see him as the ideal #5 but Harvey is ahead and Worrell frankly does not deserve to be in the side as a batsman - in any case Harvey as a left hander and as a supreme player of spin would be an asset, not to mention his great conversion rate of 21C and 24 HC. Therefore, Harvey it is.
