Shiv

Kanhai*

Haynes is a textbook HTB but Hunte averaged under 40 away too, just in an era where no one noticed. And Gayle is ehhh by ATG standards too. Much of a muchness, really.

Wow just checked the stats can go with Chris Gayle instead of Desmond Haynes. Gayle had far better avg of 43 in away to Haynes 33. Gayle is also a good part time bowler and a wonderful fielder.

Well for Lloyd at least, you have Headley (as if he’s not in your XI), Shiv and the 3 W’s all ahead of him in the pecking order.

I went for Clive Lloyd as he was a Good Captain. I want the team to have a Great Captain too.

 

[trundler]

Chanderpaul > Walcott

Kanhai > Chanderpaul is closer to the truth than that

 

[Coronis]

lol no

Shiv > Lloyd, easily.

 

[trundler]

Shiv > Lloyd, easily.

Wrong again.

Worrell was also a great captain and a very handy bowler.

 

[Coronis]

Wrong again.

Thats fine, you’re entitled to yet another awful opinion.

 

[trundler]

Hurr durr big number better I am very smart.

Sure thing buddy

 

[CricketFan90s]

Worrell was also a great captain and a very handy bowler.

worrell's batting record as captain was 40 and lloyd batting record as captain was 51. so i will stick to the ecision of lloyd as captain and will remove haynes and include gayle

Hurr durr big number better I am very smart and handsome

tbh it's mostly a longevity thing, and nah that was probably an overreaction from me. Walcott did actually play for 12 years anyhow, but I can't bear to undermine Sir Everton DeCourcy so Clyde was the scapegoat. the 3Ws with much remorse I do believe to be not so good as CW thinks.

I broadly agree with this. Nourse ahead of all of them obviously. But I also think that Chanders is grotesquely overrated. Lloyd has a higher RPI than him despite batting similarly low and more innings of substance so I rate him highly.

yeah Headley also is a good option, Chanderpaul too, worrell only if the pitch is turning too much

In the other thread, you said you always prefer to have a spinner in your team. Now you don't want one here?

 

[Red]

Hobbs
Sutcliffe
Hutton*
Hammond
Root
Barrington / Compton
Knott +
Rhodes
Trueman
Statham
Anderson

Don't like the lack of a 5th bowler but better than Botham getting massive nosebleeds at #6 imo. Stokes lacks the longevity for mine.

Hammond was a very good bowler and more than suffices as a fifth option

 

[ataraxia]

Not at ATG level, nah. He'll bowl a few overs of course but he should get thwacked.

Clive Lloyd being underrated isn’t surprising but the guy was a beast and isn’t out of place in a windies ATG xi by any means

“He was a superb fast-medium bowler who often, as Sir Donald Bradman once remarked, "was too busy scoring runs to worry about bowling." When he was roused - as he once was by Essex bowling bouncers at the Gloucestershire batsmen - his pace could be devastating. "I never saw a man bowl faster for Gloucestershire than Wally did that day," said Tom Goddard, "and he not only battered them, he bowled them out as well."
