Majid was my first thought too. Such a classy player.
Waqar and Richards for sheer impact. Richards was way past his best but still achieved a lot.
Matthew Elliott, underrated but very successful.
Worst overseas signing would be an interesting debate ... |  | | |

Jaques Kallis.
Viv if he signed at his peak but was well past it when he joined.
Miandad King and Majed Khan were all special as well, | |

"Tony Cordle was Glamorgan`s first overseas fast bowler and the West Indian was a key member of the county`s attack which won the Championship in 1969. Amongst many fine spells that season, Cordle recorded a career-best 9 for 49 against Leicestershire at Colwyn Bay, coming on as seventh change!"
"Cordle emigrated from Barbados to the UK in the early 1960`s to work initially for London Transport, before moving to join his brother and sister in Cardiff. One day when visiting the Labour Exchange in Westgate Street, he looked down on the Arms Park ground, and with fond memories of playing cricket back home, Cordle decided to join Cardiff CC."
"After some hostile spells for the Cardiff club, Cordle made his debut in 1962 for the county 2nd XI, and joined Glamorgan`s staff the following season. In 1963 he made his first-class debut against Cambridge University."
He's lived in Canada since 1983.

No, but I seem to remember BBC Wales showed that game live. 409 off 90 overs is a fair old lick, especially those days.

Not a bad Aussie opening bowling attack too.
2nd day was a washout if I remember correctly | |

Fun Fact - Javed Miandad's son married the daughter of one of India's most wanted Gangsters. Amazing where a Wikipedia Wormhole can take you.

Oh fûck yes - Kallis! What an all-rounder!
Not the brightest mind...
On tour abroad with SA and doing a warm-up run on the beach. Jacques is blowing out of his arse...
Bob Woolmer: OK Jacques?
JK: No. Do you think it’s the altitude?

Just as Javed was leaving Glamorgan, the very modest semi-detached house in Derwen Fawr in which he was living was up for sale, and I was looking to move house at the same time. We went to view this house not knowing at the time that he was living there. The estate agent let us in thinking it was empty but it wasn’t. Javed and his wife and family had just returned from abroad and came downstairs as we entered. I immediately recognised him and spoke to him about his time with Glamorgan, much to Mrs. Mute’s annoyance. We did not buy the house. |  | | |

Javed was a great player by the way, but for me not as good as Majid. | | | |

The beer tent emptied when Tony came into bat. Fine quickie too. | | | |

I was there too. Hell of a knock!
The Sunday overs match was great too. Pretty sure it was Roy Fredericks who hooked the first ball of the innings out of the ground but knocked his stumps over in the process. | | | |

Think we got Viv at the back end of his career. Majid Khan and Miandad were great players as was Kallis.
Collis King was always great value along with that fat Aussie T20 opener | | | |

Also would have had Ravi Shastri in the top 4 ahead of Michael Kasprowicz... |
probably based on games played Kasper was someone who would bowl all day a real team man in the Hogan mode
Id perfer players like that | | | |

So your saying Shastri wasn't "a real team man" are you?
Absolute crà p 👌

Cosgrove only dealt in boundaries, hit the ball hard mind.
Dale Steyn and Tait whilst only T20 players were lightening fast to watch.
Viv was obviously the mastermind of that famous day in Canterbury '93 but Waqar was superhuman in his bowling in 1997, didn't he take 7-16 against Lancs? |  | | |

Tait was rapid but not the brightest.
Saw him in the T20 against Middlesex at Richmond a few years ago. Bowled one that went yards over the keeper’s head and went for a one bounce four.
Top one day bowling! | | | |
