The ATG World XI's game

[Jager]

Loving Vic's choices here, I will take the same. Compton and Harvey are both both dashing and versatile. Compton is underrated and so is Harvey- about as good as you could get in the slips as well as being a much greater batsman than his stats have caused people to think. I will choose Worrell, too. He can bowl as our fifth and is a brilliant batsman.

Just a heads up that Dravid has 3 votes now that weldone has voted, due to the edit on the previous page.

If Compton doesn't make this team, I'll pick him in the World E team. He is definitely a cricketer that I would like to learn a bit more about.

Jager, regarding Harvey and not being rated as highly due to the finish of his career. I rate him and don't mind if he makes this team, but I just figured that Pakistan's greatest batsman of all time Miandad deserved it more. Dravid for my money is suited perfectly to come in after our opening pair too.


EDIT - Actually I think you've forgotten all of my votes!

I was just editing it
Compton for me is the British Keith Miller in terms of his charisma and style, but there isn't enough information on the internet it seems. I would also like to learn more about him, seems like a great character. Fair call on Miandad though, he might be suited to the team more.

JBMAC did a fine writeup on Compton a while back.

Oh fantastic, I love whenever JBMAC posts. I'll see if I can find it, thanks for the heads-up. I corrected the count I think, cheers for the backup (and yes NUFAN, I forgot your entire vote )

Quick, irrelevant question that I wanted to ask but wasn't worth making a new thread to ask it- has anyone on CW decided to do a 'CW Top Innings of All Time' list? Something that would run like Smali's Top 50 Players. I am looking at doing that if it hasn't been done.

 

[vic_orthdox]

There's been a battle of the best test innings, IIRC.

 

[Jager]

Ah, bummer.

Not sure, but I personally don't see a need for that given DoG's list (he has a formula to come up with a list like that) is so freaking awesome.
