On actually stepping on the pitch and playing together in an era it's Roberts, Holding, Croft and Garner.

I would agree with googley but not sure Ambrose played at the same time as the other 3

Marshall, Holding, Roberts, Garner for me

The great Vivian wouldn't agree his avg v Marshall, Garner, Clarke, Daniel is 20 over a 20-year spanlol

One of Holding, Roberts, Ambrose must step aside for Garner with stunning best strike rates across formats

They never did. Roberts last test was in 1983. Ambrose made his debut in 1988

Is that the bowling attack that Brian Lara, delivering the Cowdrey lectures, said that they played the game in a way it should never have been played?
