A great way to bypass all Ashwin - Lyon debates

I would have Younis over Sanga because he played more through the decade.

Rahim is an interesting choice, probably the right one.

This could be

Vijay
Tamim/Ali
Sanga
Kohli
Younis
Shakib
Dhoni +
Holder
Ashwin
Roach
Shami

Sehwag not taken into consideration. Dhoni better than Mushfiq, esp in glovework.
Think 2 spinners are enough. Going with Holder.

Sanga is undoubtedly the better batsman but I'd say Pujara has done more this decade alone.

Dad's XI

Michael Papps
Assad Fudadin
Zaheer Abbas
Javed Miandad
Ollie Pope
Eldine Baptiste
Naveed Abbasi
Qaiser Abbas
Bapu Nadkarni
Mohammad Abbas
George Pope

Nice work. Should probably post that in the Novelty XI thread.

 

[Red]

Only selecting guys if they played the majority of their career in that domestic team, these are the three strongest teams, surely.


Yorkshire

H. Sutcliffe
G. Boycott
L. Hutton
J.Root
S. Jackson
M. Leyland
J. Bairstow
W. Rhodes
B. Bowes
D. Gough
F. Trueman

NSW

A. Morris
B. Simpson
S. Smith
S. McCabe
V. Trumper
S. Waugh
A. Gilchrist +
R. Lindwall
A. Davidson
B. OReilly
G. McGrath

Barbados

G. Greenidge
D. Haynes
F. Worrell *
E. Weekes
C. Walcott
G. Sobers
D. Murray +
M. Marshall
C. Griffith
W. Hall
J. Garner

Verity unlucky not to crack that Yorkshire team.

Probably could replace either Gough or Bowes with him but I went with the 3 quick 1 spinner combo.

 

[jimmy101]

Hip-hop XI

Slick Rick McCosker
Jason Royce da 5'9"
Snoop Dogglas Jardine*
Big Daddy Kane Williamson
Nas-ser Hussain
Kool Moe Matthews
Dr. Dre Russ
Rakim Cornwall
Lil Wayne Phillips+
Malcolm Marshall Mathers
Jimmy Anderson Paak

12th: Jay-Z Ferris

 

[ataraxia]

Yeah Rhodes over Verity is interesting (I've done it before but now Verity is now ahead in my mind). George Hirst also an option.

 

[jimmy101]

Red's team is good, and I personally think Rhodes has a greater claim to a spot in the side than Verity, but if the pitch had a bit of turn going for it Verity would be an insta-pick over either Gough or Bowes. Hirst is very much in the mix too.

 

[honestbharani]

Surely you can put in Sachin for Yorkshire?

 

[jimmy101]

Mumbai wouldn't be too pleased about that!

 

[GoodAreasShane]

As long as they keep their grubby mitts off Boof it's fine

 

[jimmy101]

Canberra Comets ATG XI (shortlist)

Brad Haddin+
Rod Tucker
Mike Veletta
Merv Hughes
Chris Adams
Anthony Stuart
Mark Higgs

Who else?

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Counting Futures League too?

If so then Gazza is a shoe in, Jason Behrendorff maybe too?

 

[honestbharani]

I wonder which of the IPL franchises can throw out a pretty good test or FC team? We can probably consider folks who played the most for a particular franchise as that franchise's player. For instance, Yuvi for Punjab.

Mumbai had Jayasuriya, Tendulkar, Ponting, Lara, Rohit Sharma, Johnson and Malinga. They should easily win it.

RCB went for Dravid, Kallis, Kumble etc. in their first season and predictably flopped.

 

[AndrewB]

Surrey aren’t far behind Yorkshire:
Jack Hobbs
John Edrich
Tom Hayward
Ken Barrington
Peter May
Graham Thorpe
Alec Stewart
George Lohmann
Alec Bedser
Jim Laker
Tom Richardson
