i've always wondered which district club has produced the most australian test players & australian test captains ?
i'm wondering whether its glenelg with the most captains (ian & greg chappell) not sure if we've had another (doubt it)

heater, you are most likely correct as my knowledge of cricket is extremely limited. However I must confirm Sleep was an Adelaide player? I always thought he came from Salisbury?
Always used to see him there as a kid when footy and cricket training were both in full swing.

my source is the 100 years history booklet which lists all of such honours. with the exception of Dan Cullen as he made his debut after it was printed
A few of the boys read this site so help me out fellas

Peter Sleep definitely played LOTS of cricket for Salisbury, not sure why Adelaide would claim him..
I think KG played at Adelaide as well but that's not on the list (AUS 2nd XI) tour to NZ
