One Last Sight
John Warr once said "if one were granted one last wish in cricket, it would be the sight of Ray Lindwall opening the bowling in a Test match."
If you were granted one final sight in cricket, what would you choose to see?

Is this fantasy or something that did happen?
If the former Douglas Jardine batting against Lillee and Thomson in 74/75 If the latter Stan McCabe's batting in the first Test of the Bodyline series |

Steyn having an incredibly fiery spell against a batsman. Kind of Donald-Atherton - style.
Oh, and Jacques Kallis in an aggressive mood.

Real Life:
Bodyline series. Are we allowed an entire series? Fantasy: An attack of Marshall-Ambrose-Khan-Warne-Muralitharan bowling to Hobbs-Hutton-Bradman-Tendulkar-Richards-Sobers-Gilchrist.

Actually on reflection if I had one cricketing wish it would be to umpire, with Zaremba obviously, a single wicket competition involving benchmark00, GIMH, sledger, furball, grecian, brumbers, Richard and Sylvester Clarke

I think India had better batting greats in the 80s and 00s rather than the 90s didn't they?
I would like to see Bradman Wasim, Waqar, and Imran have a go at Bradman with a reverse swinging old ball
