Establishing the best decade for cricket: Finding the ATG XI from 12 decades of test cricket - then having a KO tourney to decide the best

Shakib

Stokes

Tempted to go with Stokes or Shakib for the extra bowling but I'll go with:

AB de Villiers

Who was undoubtedly the guy I would least like strolling in for my opponents in that spot.

Root and Clarke are both notably absent from the discussion and are unlucky.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Some pretty decent middle order batting talent that will miss out on this team: Sanga, Younis, looking like AB at this stage, Clarke, Root, Amla, Pujara, Taylor, Chanderpaul, Misbah

Shakib, this team sorely needs the extra bowling.

Ha ha, have you been doing this in every round of voting? Might need some re-counts!

Haha took 110 years to notice.

Shakib Al Hasan

 

[mr_mister]

Shakib ain't being caught.

Cook
Warner
Williamson
Smith
Kohli
Shakib
Watling +
Ashwin
Cummins
Steyn
Anderson

Pick the captain for this outfit and tomorrow i'll start the tournament thread!

 

[mr_mister]

Let's let nice guy KW captain since Smith is too prone to cheating and Kohli is too much of a ****

 

[honestbharani]

Virat has the best record among the captains in this group, but Kane has won the WTC. So I can go with Kane.

Ooof this is actually difficult. As much as I think Kohli is a prick, he’s actually an excellent captain.

Kane isn’t a prick but is also an excellent captain.

I’ll go Kohli for playing more longer series.

 

[ma1978]

Kohli for the win in Australia

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Williamson and Kohli getting credit here for stuff that happened in the 2020's. Give it to Captain Cook, the only one that's not a crook. (A little poetry thrown in there).

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Kohli as captain.

I love Williamson but not sure he'd know quite what to do with Ashwin and Shakib.

 

[honestbharani]

Inb4......


Its cute you think Virat knows what to do with Ash.

 

[harsh.ag]

Cook for captain. Shakib will be out by the 3rd test and ABdV will take his rightful place.
