33, excellent effort...the ones marked ++ arent in the list
Herbert Sutcliffe isn't on the list? Or Hedley Verity?
Sutcliffe scored 4,500 test runs at an average of over 60 and over 50,000 first class runs.
Verity was the fastest ever to 100 test wickets at the time and had his career tragically cut short by WW2, dying in action.
It's anti-Yorkshire bias I tell thee!
Btw - if Sutcliffe isn't in, is Jack Hobbs?
