A Battle of Centuries Story (Squads feedback)

[CrazyCaptain101]

A question we have all wondered: Who are the best Test cricket players of all time? But maybe, more specifically, you've wondered which century of Test cricket (1800s, 1900s, 2000s,) has produced the best players. Below I have pasted the squads for the tournament, and you are welcome to write some feedback. The tournament will begin in around a month or two, giving ample time to get the best squads possible. Players who have played in 2 centures (example - career spanning 1894-1910 or 1989-2004) have not been considered, so only players who played Test matches in one century will be participating.

Squads:

1800s	1900s	2000s
W. G Grace	Sunil Gavaskar	Alistair Cook
Arthur Shrewsbury	Graham Gooch	Graeme Smith
Stanely Jackson	Jack Hobbs	Virender Sehwag
Bobby Peel	Don Bradman	Hashim Amla
Andrew Stoddart	Allan Border	Steve Smith
Alfred Shaw	Viv Richards	Virat Kohli
Billy Bates	George Headley	AB De Villiers
Walter Read	Garfield Sobers	Ravi Ashwin
George Lohmann	Imran Khan	Ben Stokes
John Ferris	Richard Hadlee	Kumar Sangakkara
Fred Spofforth	Jeff Dujon	MS Dhoni
Charlie Turner	Javed Miandad	James Anderson
Allan Steel	Ian Botham	Dale Steyn
Tom Richardson	Dennis Lillee	Vernon Philander
Bill Murdoch	Sydney Barnes	Nathan Lyon

Note - 1800s has only 12 players currently.

This will update as I change the squads from feedback

I went straight to pg 27 of Wisden 2013 for 1800s players. Allan G Steel, Bill (WM) Murdoch good both as batsman and keeper. While Tom Richardson is almost legendary as a quick bowler.

I second Murdoch and Steel for selection. Alfred Shaw should be in as a bowling option. WG Grace said he was the greatest bowler in England.

I would also suggest Johnny Mullagh. He took 245 wickets in 47 matches in Australia's maiden tour of England.
