The obscure XI's you've always wanted to make but never found the appropriate place thread

[Wallaby]

Only 3 players have done it in Shield cricket - Tim Wall (fast bowler, test player from the 1930s), Peter Allan (fast bowler, one test in the 1960s) and Ian Brayshaw (father of James), who is in the list of 'best cricketers never to play a test match'.

It happened A LOT in county cricket pre- the wars. I think Tich Freeman (played a few tests 1920s) did it at least 3 times.

Tim Wall - haven't heard that name for a long long time. Useless trivia: He was the grandfather of Brett Swain, fast bowler from the sensational Andrew Eime/Mark Harrity era of South Australian mediocrity

Can someone make me the best side where all the batsmen have a first class 300 and all the bowlers have taken 10 wickets in an innings? Just a random thought I had but can't be bothered putting it together.

Hanif Mohammad
Graham Gooch
Donald Bradman
Brian Lara
Gary Sobers
Wally Hammond
Kumar Sangakkara (wk)
George Giffen
Gubby Allen
Anil Kumble
Jim Laker

Top 7 are all based on Test 300's. The two bowlers who took 10 wickets in a Test are also included (Laker, Kumble).

Opening batting spots were a bit tough, plenty to choose from - Sehwag, Simpson, Taylor, Warner, Gayle, Hutton, Hayden.

Bowling would be Allen, Giffen, Sobers, Hammond, Kumble & Laker.

Outstanding. The only criticism would be the lack of an out and out fast bowler, but not sure many of those have taken 10 in an innings.

Yes, it was a bit tough. Heaps of players have taken 10 wickets in a f-c innings, but not a lot of familiar names in the fast bowling department (I couldn't be bothered researching the many names I didn't know).

Trevor Bailey is another pace bowling name that stands out on that list. Handy #8 too.

[PhatBoy]

Obviously I’m biased because I want to have children with one of them and quite liked the other but I’d have given preference to Gayle and Sehwag simply because they had two triples each (and a 294 in Sehwag’s case)

A team of Englishmen with first class cricket experience who became better-known in other fields


Lord Dunglass: the only British prime minister (1963-64) to play first class cricket, he played 10 first class matches
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: author who created Sherlock Holmes, Doyle played 10 first class matches, and as many would know, claimed the wicket of WG Grace as his sole first class victim.
Spencer Gore: The first winner of Wimbledon in 1877, he played 5 first class games
Henry Blofeld: my dear old things, Henry played 17 first class matches before making his name as a cricket author and commentator.
Sir Geoff Hurst: Hurst played one first class game for Essex and scored 0 not out and 0 before gaining fame as a soccer player whose big moment was scoring a hat trick in England’s World Cup triumph of 1966
John Wisden: Wisden was a gun-bowler during the pre-Test cricket era and took 1109 first class wickets before launching that chunky yellow book which comes out each year.
Sir John Brocklebank: famous for having been the chairman of the Cunard Shipping Company between 1959 and 1965, Brocklebank placed the order for the construction of the QE2. He played 21 first class matches.

ok Bad Taste alert:

Peter Roebuck is better known to people of my generation as several things before he's remembered as a cricketer.
