LEARIE/BARON CONSTANTINE [West Indies/Barbados/1877 to 1929]

Matches: 18
Runs: 635 @ 19.24, 4 x 50
Wickets: 58 @ 30.1, 2 x 5
Catches: 28

Lord Constantine, MBE, died in London on July 1, 1971. The parents of the child born in Diego Martin, Trinidad, almost seventy years before, may in their highest ambitions have hoped that he would play cricket for the West Indies. They cannot have dreamt that he would take a major share in lifting his people to a new level of respect within the British Commonwealth; that along the way he would become the finest fieldsman and one of the most exciting allrounders the game of cricket has known: and that he would die Baron Constantine, of Marvel in Trinidad and Tobago, and of Nelson, in the County Palatine of Lancaster, a former Cabinet Minister and High Commissioner of his native Trinidad.

Muscular but lithe, stocky but long armed, he bowled with a bounding run, a high, smooth action and considerable pace. His batting, which depended considerably upon eye, was sometimes unorthodox to the point of spontaneous invention: but on his day it was virtually impossible to bowl at him. In the deep he picked up while going like a sprinter and threw with explosive accuracy; close to the wicket he was fearless and quick; wherever he was posted he amazed everyone by his speed and certainty in making catches which seemed far beyond reach. His movement was so joyously fluid and, at need, acrobatic that he might have been made of springs and rubber.

Give me a bit for the next pick.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Ho ho, a steal here and a perfect pick for a pitch like the SCG.

BISHEN BEDI [India/Delhi/1965 to 1989]

Matches: 67
Runs: 656 @ 8.98, 1 x 50
Wickets: 266 @ 28.7, 14 x 5, BB 7/98
Catches: 26

The purity and perfection of Bedi's art was a connoisseur's dream. He was stealthy, silent and deadly, a master of deception who conjured variations in flight, loop, spin and pace without any perceptible change in action. He bowled with a big heart too, challenging the batsman to hit over the top by giving the ball plenty of air, and was a consistent wicket-taker for most of his career. Helped by a successful county stint with Northamptonshire, he finished with 1560 first-class wickets, more than any other Indian bowler. He was forthright and outspoken throughout his playing career, and inevitably courted controversies: objecting to the use of Vaseline by England bowler John Lever in 1976-7, declaring India's second innings at Kingston in protest against intimidatory bowling by the West Indians in 1976 and, famously, threatening to dump the Indian cricket team in the sea in 1990, when he was the coach. A generous man possessing infinite wisdom, his zest and passion for the game still remains undiminished, although his outburst against various aspects of the modern game sometimes make him seem prone to the incurable malaise of bitterness.

Yeah... would have picked him... but apparently FC cricket is irrelevant when it comes to deciding on players. Anyway, Chandrashekhar has almost identical stats. Only query over both of them is their record outside the SC

Mateyman is up.

 

[Mateyman]

Bert Oldfield. A wicketkeeping legend. 52 stumpings and 78 catches in just 54 matches. Kept up to the stumps to quick bowlers and slow ones alike, and still only let through 3.87 byes per 600 balls, which is not many, on uncovered wickets when you are usually keeping up to the stumps. Averaged nearly 23 as a batsman, which is probably comparable to Healy when you consider the time period he was in with uncovered wickets. Anyone who can keep up to fast bowlers on uncovered wickets is good enough to be my gloveman. His excellent record up to the stumps would be especially useful in Galle. His batting wasn't really considered too much, I just went for the best gloveman, as he only needs to bat at 9 or 10.
