In light of this lovely quote from Swiss Tony on the Trevor Bailey thread:
"R I P Trevor,steady the ship and steer home the the good ship Englands heaven X1,God bless."
Who would make your England XI, based solely on those no longer with us? With the likes of Gooch, Gower, Dexter, Botham, Knott, Underwood and Ilott all still on this mortal coil, a few contenders for an all-time England XI will not be permitted so it could be interesting.
I'll make a start, for which please excuse my limited knowledge of cricket beyond the last few decades. I'm interested to hear what those of you with, ahem, shall we say, longer memories, come up with.
