[CricAddict]

ATG opener of all time opening with someone with immense potential and doing well in all his international outings so far. Decent test bats at 3 and 4 with 2 more ATGs following them. Bond and Kumble provide the pace while Pollock and Walsh can do the hard drill with Botham the enforcer.

Jayasuriya comes in for literally anyone except Dhoni if they get injured.

Joel garner
Fred Spofforth
Shoaib Akhtar/amar Singh(bats at 8 or 9 tho)

I will describe about my team as well .
The best opener since Hutton,may be since hobbs and the best I have ever seen.Among some best batsman I have ever seen.Alongside him is probably the best batsman between grace and hobbs.The magician victor trumper.After him comes arguably the best Indian batsman I have never seen and arguably the best before 1970s.Then comes England’s best batsman since barrington.The current English captain who might be the best batsman in the world right now.Then a good female batter comes at 5,and VVS laxman a really good batsman at 6.The best wicketkeeper new zealand has ever had comes at 7.
The bowling attack consists of Spofforth,Garner,Akhtar,Trumble,Singh.
Having seen 2 of them I can first talk about them.Joel garner ,West indies 3rd best bowler of all time.Probably the best change bowler of all time and a really good bowler with the new ball which many don’t talk about .Then Akhtar one of the 5 fastest bowler of all time.His record speak for itself as well.Spofforth known as the demon bowler not because of his pace tho.But due to how great bowler he was.He changed international cricket for forever.Spofforth might be the best bowler before Barnes.Trumble has similar case of being the best before barnes.
Then there is Amar Singh.A good all rounder.A really good bowler and a decent batsman.He had really high rating from his contemporaries including Hutton and Hammond.

Clark is better I feel considering their records but yes I will get him in for Nissanka. Thanks Teuton.

 

[Line and Length]

It's some time since I posted my teams so here it is again with more detailed comments.


1. Graeme Smith (c) /
2. Roy Fredericks /
3. George Headley /
4. Denis Compton /o
5. Thilan Samaraweera /
6. Mushfiqur Rahim (w/k) /
7. Wasim Raja /o
8. Andrew Flintoff /o
9. Hugh Tayfield o
10. Dennis Lillee o
11. Allan Donald o

12. Jacob Oram /o

A pair of very solid openers is followed by 2 ATGs. The side continues to bat strongly in the middle and lower order. Lillee anf Donald, supported by Flintoff are a menacing pace attack with Tayfield ('offies') and Raja ('leggies') providing spin variety. Compton adds bowling depth if required. If playing on a wicket which offers no help to spin, all-rounder Oram comes in for Raja.

I thought we were picking Test sides.

 

[Teuton]

Charlie Macartney seems to be in 2 sides

Well spotted. @trundler and @Michaelf7777777 both named him. Who grabbed him first?
Also Michael lacks a 12th man.

 

[trundler]

I think I picked him second. Didn't find him on the list because I was spelling his surname wrong.

Anyway, I'll take Clem Hill instead.

Can you update your team as well? I'll put the voting thread up soon.
