| Who would you bring back? If you could bring back a South African who never played ODI cricket to play in the World CUp ... who would it be? Personally, I would choose either Mike Procter or Clive Rice. Kourie could be an interesting choice for a spinner...lets face it I don't remember SA ever having a spinner of too much substance.  |

| Graeme Pollock. He would have adapted to the conditions quickly and taken the bowlers apart. |

| Why not have both? Barry Richards was an opening batsman while Pollock usually came in at No:4. While you are it, add Clive Rice, Mike Procter and that hard-hitting wicket-keeper Denis Lindsay. Throw in Eddie Barlow with Neil Adcock to open the bowling and you'd have an unbeatable team no matter who else played  . |

| I dont know I'd still fancy an early 80's Windies team, it would be a good match though! Mike Proctor and Barry Richards would be the two i'd like to see play.

| Graeme Pollock - he would have been as good an ODI players as Viv Richards the ODI game is just suited to him.

 If I had to pick a full team of these players, it would be... Barry Richards Eddie Barlow Allan Lamb - Assuming that had SA no been exluded he would of played for SA Graeme Pollock Lee Irvine Mike Procter Clive Rice - Captain Denis Lindsay - Wicket - Keeper Peter Pollock - Opening Bowler Neil Adcock or Garth Le Roux - Opening Bowler Alan Kourie (Spinner) This team resembles the 1969/70 series team but supplement mainly with players of the 80s. I decided that Eddie Barlow could open the batting for a ODI side, after deciding against Jimmy Cook. I thought Ali Bacher was an outstanding tactiton, however he was dropped and Clive Rice is the captain. Ray Jennings could perhaps go in instead of Lindsay. I can't decide between Neil Adcock and Garth Le Roux?? Never watched Adcock he apparently did very well in a mediocre team...not sure on this one. Could throw in Stephen Jeffries, for a bowler who got good swing on the ball, but I would want Alan Kourie as a spin bowler. What do you think about my team, how do you think it would do in modern ODI cricket?? Last edited by PaceHitta : 02-03-2007 at 05:33 PM. |

| Johnny Lindsay? I thought the bighitting wicketkeeper from the 60s was called Denis Lindsay? Personally, I would keep him as the 'keeper. Wasn't there an attacking batsman in the 70s named Brian Davison? Or was he Rhodesia-Zimbabwe? |

| My apologies...it is Denis, Johnny was his father...I made an edit. Brian Davison was Zimbabwean, at least accoriding to CricInfo. |
