Best Team with players who had below 50 bat avg and above 25 bowling avg

[Prince EWS]

I like this team. I'd make one change though - MS Dhoni for Knott, and move him to 7.

I agree to an extent anyway; Dhoni should definitely be in that side. I don't really rate his batting at all though so I don't agree with moving him up to 7. He should bat at 9 as a specialist wicket keeper. There are really no other serious alternatives.

Ok, I will concede the point of the batting order. Fair enough. But has there been a better gloveman over 75 Tests?

Yes. THIS is the way to make the team better. Spot on.

Shane Warne would be a better option for above 25 average than Abdul Qadir. Abdul Qadir can fit into the above 30 category.

In the above 25 category, the spinners need to average above 30 (that's what the OP said). So, I picked Prasanna. Qadir was my reserve.

Similarly, in the above 30 category, spinners need to average above 35.

Was a good bat as well as a brilliant keeper.

 

[Dazinho]

Below 40 batting, above 30 bowling, 35+ for spinners.

Mike Atherton
Aamir Sohail
Nasser Hussein
Carl Hooper
Arjuna Ranatunga
Brendan McCullum
Brian McMillan
Andrew Flintoff
John Bracewell
James Anderson
Ray Price

Pretty happy with this team, although Jonty Rhodes for Ranatunga might be a decent shout to improve the fielding.

1. WG Grace
2. Trevor Goddard
3. Bruce Mitchell
4. Herb Taylor
5. Neil Harvey
6. Frank Worrell
7. Adam Gilchrist
8. Ian Botham
9. Vinoo Mankad
10. Kapil Dev
11. Wes Hall

EDIT: So yeah, close to Howe's side.

Just opened this thread for the first time ready to disappointed and to state that all teams devoid of Herbie Taylor should be considered invalid.

Much .

I wonder what's the worst one you can name with a minimum number of tests.

Bannerman is very highly rated. He was the best Aussie batsman of his time. I am not sure he would fit in there.
