I'll come back to number six when the batting places are settled.
For my keeper, I've picked the eleven biggest wicket takers, and they are listed in order of dismissals. Then added Don Tallon and Les Ames over a couple of unknown keepers from the Victorian age.
These are the batters by batting average. Some of these are not included because they don't have many dismissals. Parks and Phillips have good averages, but scored relatively few runs, and were low on dismissals, so I left them out. Neither scored a ton. Minimum 300 runs.

I always say that everybody's right.
