ICC Greatest Test Team

[smash84]

So now the ICC is doing an ESPN like exercise.

International Cricket Council - Greatest Test Team Of All Time

Damn..........there is place for only one all rounder so it seems Imran will again miss the cut.

Wasim might make it again.

 

[Himannv]

Cricinfo wannabes.

Indeed...personally would pick Sobers, Imran and Hadlee if the format allowed.

 

[Howe_zat]

We know the result anyway, as Cricinfo already did it, so I just voted for a few older favourites in the hope of making the result more interesting.

 

[smash84]

Indeed...personally would pick Sobers, Imran and Hadlee if the format allowed.

yeah even I would have picked all 3. Would have made such a gun team

 

[Himannv]

Wish they had allowed us to pick any team we want.

 

[GotSpin]

Not sure why I couldn't have Courtney Walsh as my allrounder. Bizarre

Me too. Love all three of them

 

[Dan]

Selected:
Trumper, Hobbs, Bradman, Pollock, Tendulkar, Miller, Gilchrist, Akram, Lindwall, Barnes, Grimmett.

 

[weldone]

Selected: Hobbs, Hutton, Bradman, Tendulkar, Hammond, Sobers, Gilchrist, Marshall, Barnes, Trueman, Muralitharan

Can't believe they didn't allow me to choose my favorite bowler, Richard Hadlee

 

[Teja.]

I'll never understand the logic of that one all-rounder rule. I'd take Imran and Hadlee as purely specialist bowlers over most other specialist ATG bowlers anyway.

 

[Howe_zat]

I've never properly been able to decide on an all-time team. Think it's because at this level you have to nitpick, and I don't like bothering, really.

AWTA. It's virtually impossible to fit in everyone that I'd like to.

 

[Athlai]

Hadlee not being a fast bowling option is rubbish. No distinction between a bowling allrounder and a batting one? Have they ever selected a cricket team before? Jeez.

I went

Hobbs
Gavaskar
Bradman
Tendulkar
Pollock
Sobers
Gilchrist
Wasim
Marshall
Ambrose
Murali

Gavaskar, Pollock, Wasim and Ambrose would be the only guys to move out of my all-time XI on a weekly basis.

Not this year. Trueman taking his spot.

 

[ankitj]

I chose:

Gavaskar, Hobbs, Bradman, Viv Richards, Graeme Pollock, Imran Khan, Adam Gilchrist Malcolm Marshall, Curtly Ambrose, Sydney Barnes, Muttiah Muralitharan

Hated the 1 all-rounder rule obviously. Couldn't select Sobers and Hadlee.
