Best ever from the nation not to get inducted? (but eligible)
I would prefer to go with players who retired pre 2005, as to give them a good window.

AUS: Clem Hill (will name over Hayden as well)
IND: Vijay Merchant (better than Hazare imo)
NZ: Glenn Turner
PAK: Mushtaq Mohammad (better than Qadir for sure)
SA: Procter (Dudley Nourse special mention)
SL: Vaas
WI: Kallicharran
Zim: Streak
