Scorecard Draft

[weldone]

Interested to know what you make of my side.

6 all-time greats there - Worrell, Border, Laker, Younis, Ames, Kapil.

 

[kingkallis]

Comments on my team plz.

Shri,

You have a fantastic bowling attack and a very good middle order but I have doubts about your top order.

 

[weldone]

Comments on my team plz.

3 all-time greats there - Sobers, Sangakkara, Bedser.

 

[kingkallis]

Also Shri, please pick your home ground so we can move on....

 

[Shri]

MCG, Melbourne. Will fine tune the pitch to suit my attack laterz.

 

[kingkallis]

Cool, Joe to pick his home ground now!

 

[G.I.Joe]

Will do within a couple of hours tbh. Busy right now.

Benaud is not an ATG, AFAIC. Perhaps not Boycott either.

Precisely my point - I'd also have doubts about Headley and Lohmann personally.

Add Gilchrist too, and you're almost there.

 

[kingkallis]

Naah, Gilchrist certainly falls in the category of ATG

 

[G.I.Joe]

Threonine definitely an ATG.

 

[pskov]

Boycott (according to me) is among top 7-8 openers of all-time, surely (arguably among top 6).

I thought this was an interesting comment as I'm not sure I'd rate Boycott that highly amongst openers.

Openers I'd definitely have rated higher than Boycott

Sutcliffe
Hobbs
Gavaskar
Trumper
Grace (if you consider him an opener)
Shrewsbury
Hutton
Hayden

Openers that I could arguably place above Boycott

Barnes
Lawry
Greenidge
Simpson
Sehwag
Ponsford
Mitchell
Smith


Wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for me to have him outside my top 10 openers list, though I'd have to look into it more of course rather than just off the top of my head. And that's not to say you are wrong or anything, just my opinion.

 

[gwo]

Almost definitely not in my top 10 openers...

ATG is a very subjective term also.

List of all time greats would for me mean you are top 5 in your position (at the least). Ultimately I feel it's thrown around far too much here, but as I said, ATG is at best a subjective term.

 

[Shri]

Someone to make a list of great players we all missed imo.

[kingkallis]

Joe's time is over so can I pick my home ground now?

 

[Flyonthewall]

Uhh...I don't really have much of a clue what to do with my home ground. Will select the WACA, Perth. McKenzie's home ground I believe, and Voce should also be able to exploit the bounce of the traditional WACA Pitch.The batsman should also have the skill to overcame the pace and bounce, with plenty of skilled players of fast bowling in the top order.

Final XI:

Washbrook
Slater
Dravid
M Jayawardene
H Taylor
Macartney
V Mankad
Healy (wkt.)
Voce
McKenzie
Asif

 

[kingkallis]

Buddy , I think WACA is taken...
