Definitely, but Rhodes was a proper allrounder in those FC games. In Tests he was either a batting allrounder or a bowling allrounder. Hardly ever a balanced one (was in the 20s, but that's a 40+ Rhodes). I think the bowling one was much superior player, I would argue ATG at his best.

Interesting! and if Saffers are added for Larwood considering by then they were Test standard?

Larwood bowled natural outswingers and nip backers while Bedser natural inswingers and leg breaks, both supremely accurate and given the pace difference, that's a very varied opening attack. I know people would have their reservations about someone like Harold Larwood, but considering we have voted the likes of Barry Richards in, clearly we are ready to nominate and actively pick people based solely on their first class achievements so Larwood shouldn't be very controversial.

No disagreement with the order, but...
As great as Procter was, he isn't an AT no. 6 quality bat.
None of them are.
Quantity foes not make up for lack of quality.
Need a real no. 6 in there. Ie Barlow
