That whole team is obviously a bit of a troll.don’t get having Brearley (and to a lesser extent) Jardine if they’re not captain
Other than Brearley, OFC. He is definitely there on merit.That whole team is obviously a bit of a troll.
Maybe so, but Brearley really did demonstrate the main quality of a good captain back then.That whole team is obviously a bit of a troll.
I'm taking Red's earnest reply as full vindication of my Ben Stokes: Captain of Captains XI.That whole team is obviously a bit of a troll.

Mcgrath and Wasim Akram are big misses too. Also, he should actually bat at 6 instead of 4 leaving that position to more established players like Sachin and Lara.Not bad for players he played with/against in his career. Gilly the only really big emission.
Yeah, there's an obvious SA bias here but there are still no terrible choices apart from Boucher and Gob.Not bad for players he played with/against in his career. Gilly the only really big emission.

And Murali at least deserved 12th man ahead of Boje
I totally made that up lolYeah, there's an obvious SA bias here but there are still no terrible choices apart from Boucher and Gob.
@Gob even pretended to take an interest in South African cricket... all for an account that is now perma-banned.I totally made that up lol
But it is the kind of team Jacques would pick tbf
Yeah ATG India XI can't play without Pant anymore.Needs more Pant.
I think he'll get there but between his so far very limited longevity and shoddy keeping (particularly early on) I'm still picking Engineer.Yeah ATG India XI can't play without Pant anymore.
