In the sense that he was part of WSC

 

[weldone]

G.Chappell mostly batted at 4 and Ponting mostly batted at 3.

And Border mostly batted at 4 (and no. 3 is Chappell's 2nd most batted position after no. 4)

 

[Debris]

In the sense that he was part of WSC

No more so than Dennis Lillee

Him too

 

[Debris]

Wasn't Border involved in WSC era on the establishment side?

 

[morgieb]

Wasn't Border involved in WSC era on the establishment side?

Yes, but that was only because he didn't break into the Australian side before 1978 (iirc)

Langer
Hayden
Ponting
Border
S Waugh
Clarke
Gilchrist
Warne
Gillespie
McDermott
McGrath

 

[Spikey]

I don't think he was 'involved'. He got his debut because of it, but he was a bystander

 

[ankitj]

Bruce Reid a contender?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Wasn't Border the only non-WSC player to keep his test place when Packer's lot came back?

 

[stumpski]

Pretty much the only one to get a prolonged run in the side, although Hogg, Toohey, Yallop and Yardley (among others) all made appearances.

Oh and Kim Hughes of course.

 

[doesitmatter]

Damien Martyn, Mark Waugh, Merv Hughes, Ian Healy are unlucky ones..Great WK , all-round players (both against pace and spin) miss out...

 

[Prince EWS]

Interesting that people are already putting Clarke ahead of Hussey. I think it's obvious to all and sundry that it's very, very likely to end up that way by the time Clarke's career ends, but I'm not sure I'd do it quite yet.
