Best Ever First Class Attack

[jimmy101]

NSW in the 50s would have likely had Lindwall, Miller, Davo and Benaud. Useful.

Edit: yep. New South Wales v South Africans at Sydney, 1-5 Jan 1953

Oh wow!

Think that might even be better than Surrey from the 50's.

Yeah it's hard to look past that one of out all-time domestic attacks. 3 ATG's and 1 ATVG.

 

[jimmy101]

Who is the ATVG Morgie?

 

[Burgey]

Probably former Parramatta great Benoords

 

[jimmy101]

Tough call if that's the case. Off the top of my head I can't think of many greater spin bowling all-rounders than Benaud. Wilfred Rhodes maybe.

 

[Burgey]

As a pure bowler though he’s arguably not atg material. Davo and Lindwall plainly are. I suppose Miller too.

Yeah was Richie. Suppose Miller isn't an ATG either purely on bowling, but my standards on ATG's are tough. Richie was an excellent player but I don't think he's quite an ATG.

 

[jimmy101]

Think we could possibly slot Richie into the ATVVG category.

What I find weird about that match is the batting order. Miller-Lindwall-Davidson at 8-9-10 seems 2 slots too low for each of them and Benaud at 3 seems a little high

 

[Burgey]

There might have been some nightwatchman action in play.

And Sid Barnes at 7 (Test average of 63)

That team is just ridonk. No wonder they annihilated the poor little Sout Ehfricans

 

[Starfighter]

Sid Barnes bowling too, and picking up three wickets. And bowling more overs than Miller. And coming on before him second innings.

A lot going on in that match.
