Poll 7: Playing selector: Last selection for AT Subcontinental XI

[bagapath]

cool...

oceania will just be 10 aussies + hadlee.
africa would be a SA XI with andy flower coming close second to ABDV

eng west indies could be interesting.
why don't you do it mr_mister?

Oceania + Africa perhaps aka Southern Hemisphere?

 

[viriya]

Shakib.

An Ashes XI (minus Bradman) will have better context I feel. Very juicy battles possible for most positions.

 

[mr_mister]

i kinda like the southern hemisphere idea

also i dont know why the ashes xi has to minus bradman...

too obvious. might as well know who the next choice would be if he hadn't happened.

Shakib getting so many votes above Vinoo is a disgrace. Vinoo averaged 40 as an opening batsman.

Shakib getting so many votes above Vinoo is a disgrace. Vinoo averaged 40 as an opening batsman.

Got hundreds against some of the best attacks ever assembled too in Lindwall-Miller-Johnson-Johnston and Bedser-Trueman-Laker.

Better bowler than Shakib too tbh.

 

[NZTailender]

Voted for Shakib out of Shakib & Bangladesh love

 

[ankitj]

Only fair that the last poll returns a fractured verdict.

 

[NZTailender]

Given they've all (well the main 3 anyways) have won a World Cup, what about a ODI version?

 

[mr_mister]

hmm how about a post-bradman/post-war southern hemisphere xi? so zim, nz, sa and aus. the post war part means it wont be 99% australians

 

[NUFAN]

in theory, Angelo Mathews would be a decent enough shout to warrant a spot on the poll.

You'd bat him at 7 behind his teammate Sangakkara, and Mathews bats well with the tail. He obviously doesn't get many Test wickets, but in a proper game behind the 4 bowlers who have been chosen, Mathews is unlikely required to bowl many overs at all.

Nah unnecessary restriction. Most of the best Aus players are post war anyway.

 

[mr_mister]

true but i kind of see where bagapath is coming from nor with the no bradman rule and i was trying to implement without bluntly saying okay no bradman

 

[Coronis]

Shakib averages 40 too~

 

[Teja.]

The most interesting XI would be English XI for players who debuted after 1980. Ridiculous amount of similarly matched cricketers.

 

[mr_mister]

hmmm i love english cricket in the 90s, hick, athers, stewart and the rest. id actually love to that particular choice teja, but do you think it would get interest from others?

 

[harsh.ag]

Shakib winning this, seriously?? Any specialist bat would be better than him playing. Farce.

 

[Howe_zat]

i love english cricket in the 90s

That's because you're Australian.
