Oh death in life the days that are no more.

[OverratedSanity]

Probably some of the earlier attacking batsmen like Macartney and Trumper or the big hitters/sloggers like Trott and Jessop. Want to see how Trott managed to clear the Lord's pavilion with a toothpick.

Seeing Grace in his youth could be fun too. It's a little unfortunate that most of the photos are from later in his career when he was a fat slob.

 

[harsh.ag]

Yeah, Grace, Trumper, Macartney, Headley, Jackson my top 5.

 

[Burgey]

I think Sobers for batting and Lillee for bowling. Both great entertainers as well as great players.

 

[Adders]

And both still very much alive

 

[cnerd123]

And both still very much alive

and younger than Burgey

 

[cnerd123]

Surprised the name Allan Border didn't pop into Burgey's mind. Goes to show how even his biggest fan doesn't care enough to want to watch him.

You can bet AB isn't going to have any such problems.

And that's why you should always read the OP

Hats because all of TOTAB's innings are burned indelibly in my memory and I don't need to resurrect them.

I did however misread the OP as saying the players could be dead or just retired. Am disappointed ***** didn't make mention of that in his usual PA way tbh.

You aren't bringing a player back to rewatch an innings he has already played. You are bringing a player back to watch him play one more innings (or bowl on more spell)

Pretty poor comprehension skills for a lawyer tbh

 

[Bijed]

Would be interested to see Fuller Pilch for batting and bowling

Making it up as we go along is what lawyers do

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Yeah, Grace, Trumper, Macartney, Headley, Jackson my top 5.

Pretty much this and if I had to pick one then Trumper would have been #1 on my list

 

[Burgey]

Hammer. Nail. Head.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Hedley Verity

 

[Gob]

Hansie flies in to my mind

 

[Burgey]

Hansie flies in to my mind

A plane was the last thing which went through his too.

 

[Midwinter]

Stan McCabe to bat

CTB Turner to bowl

(actually Sydney Barnes but someone has already said that)

Yes
McCabe and CTB. And Bert Ironmonger

 

[Red]

Jack Iverson another fascinating bowler that it'd be great to see play a test

def phil hughes. was literally my favourite player at the time of his death, for a while when i barely watched much cricket(during his career) i would basically just watch australia's innings then turn it off when he got out

strangely after his death i became a diehard again and found myself here
