I'd have Dave Houghton and Andy Pycroft in my side certainly as well as Peter Rawson in the bowling.

So I would probably be

Taylor
Arnott
Houghton
Pycroft
A Flower
Taibu
Blignaut (more for what he should have become than what he was)
H Streak
Brandes
Rawson
Price

[sloandog]

Who's Peter Rawson ??

[Dr_Situ(ZimFanatic)]

Who's Peter Rawson ??

My favourite. Our best bowler at 83 World Cup. Boy that was a team. Fletcher, Rawson, Traicos, Curran, Butchart, Houghton. A dream team

[sloandog]

Was he quick >?

[eugene]

That 83 team was perhaps our strongest. Too bad they didn't play tests.

my lord imagine still having this lineup look at the batting and bolwing depth .... its not fair to look at

[ZIMDOGGY]

whoa whoa whoa

i'm very surprised that afew people are leaving off strang and even more startling...david houghton.


dave houghton had a mid 40s test average when he was about 40 yrs old.

look through old scorecards of ODI's and whos the one that continually gets 100+?

david houghton.

like the 87' world cup when he got 150 or when he made 4 ODI centuries in 92'.

Im even tempted to say he was better or at least equal to andy flower. my statistical evidence is if you remove bangladesh the averages of the 2 are very similar. Flowers still slightly ahead, but he wasnt doing it as a 40 yr old.
either way he is definatly in our top 2 batsman of all time.


and are people here forgetting how paul strang could demolish single handedly a batting lineup? just yesterday i was reaading an article from 2000 where they were saying england are worried because they cant play paul strang.

strang was a better bowler than price. not nearly as economical. But he was a leggie who couldrip through an opposition and bat as well. he is our 2nd best bowler of all time next to streak and only because streak was very consistant. strang wasnt always.

Houghton was exceptional which is why I included him, I also forgot to include Curran. A very good all rounder at the time. I should have had Curran in the side too. Houghton, at his peak, was better than Flower IMHO and if we had been a test side 10 years earlier he would have had an exceptional record.

I included him in my side
