Where is Fred's team?

Wanted confirmation on the actual team. Hence only the 19 teams so far.

His last selection included Compton and Larwood. Wanted to know if he was sticking with them. And yes I know how he feels about Larwood.

This exercise though was for me to see if there is a definitive ATG XI, but itstead it reinforced what I already knew. There are basically 8 positions that are pretty consistent, Hobbs, Bradman, Richards, Tendulkar, Sobers, Gilchrist, Marshall and Warne, what I wanted to see of there would be a consensus about the remaining 3 positions. No such luck. Lillee and Barnes barely made it ahead of Imram, Akram and McGrath while Hutton and Gavaskar tussled it out to the end.

But in the end we do have a team, but can it be seen as a definitive ATG XI and do you guys see it as such?

Martin Crowe actually was the only selector to get it right so far, unless of course Fred votes for Akram and not Barnes and then it's a tie between the two.
