I'd rather go:
Gavaskar
Greenidge
Richards
Crowe
Miandad
Border
Imran
Dujon
Hadlee
Marshall
Garner
Also Crowe, Richards, and Border were all useful 5th bowlers. Border won tests with the ball and Crowe opened the bowling at test level.

It is a very good team. Hard to see this team losing to any team.

Garner is obviously the better bowler but since you haven't picked any spinner Dev would be more useful on dry Asian wickets.

Whatever it takes!!!
Test match fifer Border is there... So is Richards tbf. They have decent finger spin trundlers if it ever comes down to that.

International Captain
Did we pick a captain for the 60s side? I don't remember doing so.
Greg Chappell for Captain
Sunny Gavaskar and Gordon Greenidge
Viv Richards
Malcolm Marshall and Richard Hadlee (the best opening pair of any decade imo)

Bobby Simpson. Only Sean voted I believe. But could it be anyone else really?

But I don't think you actually asked anyone to vote for this? Post at the conclusion of the 60s vote:

Wow, this 1980s team looks so strong, mainly due to 4 cricketers in the middle who can hold their own with both bat and ball.

Ha, yeah I don't think you asked anyone to vote, I just made my own call.
I actually assumed most people would pick Sobers, but I thought it should be Bobby so wanted to give him a vote.

Ah yeah seems I forgot. Well people can vote for the captain now if they like

Greg Chappell to captain the 1970s team.
Gavaskar, Greenidge
Richards
Marshall, Hadlee
Interestingly, for all the talent available to the 1980s team, I don't expect the voting to necessarily be as competitive as some others. I reckon there are eight or nine blokes pretty much locked in for this side, with only a couple of slots genuinely open and up for grabs.

I agree. Qadir or pace bowler? 6th specialist batsman or all rounder? Dujon, Bari, or Smith?

I think I've seen this combination a few times already.

Yep, pretty much. I'd add Marsh and Kirmani to the mix for the 'keeper slot as well - it could be the most open vote in the team (though I also get the feeling that most people have already decided on Dujon!).
