The first Cricket sheep thread

Criteria 6: Pick any player with 40 or more catches as a fielder. This means catches taken as wicket keeper don't count.

Let me know if everyone knows how to find this criteria on cricinfo or elsewhere. Else I can post cricinfo list with this criteria applied.
List please. Browse from my phone all the time and it's a pain searching.
 
the guy played in the 60s. I dont think anyone here would have really seen him play
Yeah, they wouldn't have. Statistically he's a leading name of the game, but probably it was the negative style of play or perhaps the lack of a dominating demeanour and character against top attacks. A bit Boycott-ish I guess, which is never a good thing.
 
Anyone else here thinks Barrington's reputation is a bit inflated due to his stats?

Saw him live at Adelaide. Played the bowlers with real ease and made an unbeaten century. He was the real deal. Stats don't lie.

There's a thing in drafts that we don't name unpicked players.

Maybe we can discuss this later for that reason, but in the same English team he played in, I can probably name a couple of names who not only stood up when it mattered but did it in style. Thanks for sharing your account by the way.
