Actually seen live from the long ago days when a group of us used to go to second day of The Oval Test I would name a squad including the following but will have to come back later with a team.
Greenidge,Haynes,Lloyd,Kallicharan,Richards,Dujon,Marshall,Holding,Croft,Roberts, Garner ,Walsh,Ambrose,Bishop from WI.
Border,Alderman,Lillee,Thomson,Rod Marsh,Lawson,Healy,Merv Hughes,Dean Jones,Mark Taylor,Mark Waugh,Steve Waugh from Oz
Not sure if I saw Warne live because not certain that we went in 1993.
Gavaskar,Kapil Dev from India
Hadlee, Martin Crowe from NZ
Imran Khan,Wasim Akram,Abdul Qadir from Pakistan
I am sure that I must have missed some and not sure when we last went but must be best part of 30 years ago. |  | | |

Toughie.
1. Sehwag (Ind)
2. Greenidge (WI)
3. Kallis (SA)
4. Richards (W.I.)
5. Lara (WI)
6. Azharuddin (Ind)
7. Sangakarra (SL)
8. Kapil Dev (Ind)
9. Hadlee (NZ)
10. Wasim Akram (Pak)
11. Warne (Aus)
Could have done another XI to be honest. I have to say that had South Africa's exile from test cricket had ended a decade sooner, Clive Rice may well have had a chance of being in there. [Post edited 28 Aug 2020 0:20]

That is the longest tail in history - but who cares, they would bowl anyone out for under 100.
Although I watched England play a lot in the mid-80s it wasn't until the early 90s that I really knew much about players from other nations. It's why Botham is in there, but none of the 80s West Indians. I know they were great, but I can't recall them.
As such, and sadly, it is dominated by the Aussies from the 90s and 00s!! |  | | |

I was hugely tempted by Kohli and McCullum - maybe if I redo my list in ten years time they will both be in the team, but for now their body of work is a work in progress. Certainly the two batsmen I would pay to watch at the moment.
As a Pom living down under there's no way I can include S. Smith. The whole ball tampering affair has significantly damaged him and his image to the extent that many people would prefer he never plays again (and yes I know Warner was the main one to blame - but I couldn't stand him even before then). | | | |

I'd just pick the Windies side from the mid 70s and hope it wasn't a spinning pitch. If it was, I suppose Warne and Murly would be worth a place. |  |

I've gone for a bums on seats approach, and got a representative from all the major test playing nations (unless you count Zim, and England excluded). I only saw Haynes, Greenidge and Marshall the last time they toured England and have very hazy memories, so they were not considered for selection. Klusener is in on the grounds that we're going to be have at least 300 runs on the board when the 6th wicket goes down, so why not have some fun.

Ken McEwan was an occasional keeper, and worth a place for his batting alone. | |

Anyhow - you've still to explain your inclusion of Gillespie. Descent coach but not in the same league as McGrath, Lilley or Thompson and about half a dozen West Indian fast bowlers for me. | |
