Quite right, quite right. Ronnie Irani, I struggle to remember that he actually did play three Tests (was it?) in the late nineties.
And you're dead right, that was a wrong memory Shah was not picked as an all rounder.
Craig White in England v. West Indies last time was probably the closest we've had. Interesting to consider that Michael Slater remembered Craig White turning up at the Australian Academy primarily as a wicket keeper. Perhaps we should consider him for that spot ahead of Read and Jones.
Mark Ealham super fielder and very effective in Brian Lara Cricket.
Hollioakes hmm Adam hmmm, but yes Ben was promising and underused by England.
