The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

[ataraxia]

Also imagine Graeme Pollock getting chance to play ODIs. He wasn't even old when ODIs were introduced.

List A average 50 -- that's 8 better than Viv Richards, geez.

Others I’d consider for that side would include Hill, Woolley, Tate, Gregory, Macartney, McCabe and Jessop.

Nice bagapath. Woolley would've been great in the short formats. Heaps of bowling too, with Dexter and WG also capable. I'd drop Bedser for Larwood, and Ranji for Paynter, who would be a good Hussey/Bevan type at #6

One guy I really need to include in the Australian XI is Jack Gregory. Would've been an exciting proposition as a big hitting LH opener, and a legit bowling option. Genius field too from all accounts. He could probably replace Bill Johnston and make the batting ridiculously deep, but I am a big fan of Bill too.

 

[Coronis]

Jessop and Tate I’d have for sure.

Seconded! Colin Milburn too.

Tate would be a Kapil type player I imagine

India-Pakista-SA team that

What is the story of Danish Kaneria? Never knew he was involved in some dirty business.

 

[mr_mister]

A pretty solid middle order. Would both Saleem Malik and Azharudddin be contenders for their country's ATG sides if not for the fixing? Both have great records
