The best for any team is the legendary Bernard Bosanquet. Followed by the unremembered underarm bowler George Simpson-Hayward, who according to WIsden was a handy full back too. Then Akila.

Joe Root has urged his team to keep attacking Sri Lanka's bowlers as England go in search of their first Test series win here for 17 years.
His batsmen came in for criticism at Galle last week after they reached lunch on the first day five wickets down. But England have maintained that the rate at which they scored their runs in that first session – 113 at 3.9 an over – put the Sri Lankans under pressure and made life easier for their lower-middle order.
Got to be nonsense, hasn't it?
