Best Test XI to play for your life

9. Jeff Thompson – Surely one of the quickest bowlers ever to walk the earth, Thompson could run through any batting order on his day, and I’m sure a few stretches would be more than enough to bring back the thunderbolts of the past.

10. Harold Larwood – The infamous Larwood bowling to one of his famous Bodyline fields would no doubt be more than enough to winch the opposition from the crease, especially as modern batsmen would not be used to playing against these extreme fields. Let’s see how Bradman likes it when he’s fielding to it, eh?

11. Joel Garner – No fearsome bowling attack would be complete without a representative from the all-conquering West Indies side of the 70s and 80s. Here I have plumped for ‘Big Bird’. At 6ft 8 inches, surely has to be one of, if not the tallest player in Test match history, and I’m sure his devastating yorkers would be no match for anyone.
