The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

Buttler
Jadeja
Cummins
Archer
Bumrah

Missing 1 if this is a Hong Kong Sixes side.

 

[srbhkshk]

Bumrah would suck in a Hong Kong sixes game.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Buttler
Jadeja
Cummins
Archer
Bumrah

If it was white ball I'd have Buttler and Archer, but not in tests. The rest keeper batsmen are miles better than the big 3. Rizwan looks good too.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Current XIs (Big 3 vs the rest)

Big 3
Warner in Australia/Rohit in India (Sibley or Burns elsewhere??
Agarwal
Labuschagne/Pujara/Root
Smith
Kohli c
Stokes
Paine wk
Ashwin/Jadeja
Cummins
Anderson
Bumrah

The rest
Karunaratne
Latham
Williamson c
Babar
R Taylor
Shakib
Watling/De Kock/M Rahim wk
Holder
Rabada
Wagner
Abbas/Southee

Would be an interesting match. The big 3 has stronger batting, but the rest has a stronger tail and more depth in its bowling. Perhaps Pujara should open for the big 3.

Damn not even close. Guess that's why they're the Big 3

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Guess that's why they're the Big 3

It's because they've got the most money. A few years ago when the rest had Sanga, Younis Khan, Shiv, and half a dozen South Africans the big 3 would've been thrashed.

That's fun - come up with various HK Sixes teams.

CURRENT
Buttler
Stokes
Jadeja or Holder
Archer
Cummins

I forgot the rules - you need everyone to at least turn their arm right to a decent level except one keeper? And ideally everyone is also a good bat and field. Takes Bumrah out of the equation I think.

All time anyone?
Gilchrist
Sachin
Klusener
Imran
Warne
Pollock

Gilchrist

I don't know if Symonds is a good enough bowler to be included tbh

 

[TheJediBrah]

Is Symonds' bowling good enough to bowl 1 full over in an ATG 6s team?

 

[Burgey]

Miller

Geoff or David?

Neither

Nar, Funky Miller

Potentially too good from a broadcast perspective. No one wants dot balls and wickets in this format

 

[Nintendo]

Don't see how six singles in an over is "potentially too good from a broadcast perspective." But I'm probably just missing something

 

[Bolo.]

OK guys, Gilchrist will ditch the gloves for an over to bowl. Gotta fit Symonds in there somewhere.

 

[bagapath]

all of those big hitting allrounders would've made it

sobers
miller
imran
botham
kapil

flintoff
hadlee
s.pollock
stokes
akram

since this is not test cricket anyway...

mike procter would've been a champ, too

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Lance Cairns please
