Love this, and but for the 'keeper element you could even get such luminaries as Joel Garner and Thommo into the side.The "batters (and keeper) all have better "best bowling" figures than the bowlers" XI:
Mudassar Nazar (6-32)
Kraigg Brathwaite (6-29)
Charles Macartney (7-58)
Frank Worrell (7-70)
Allan Border (7-46)
Michael Clarke (6-9)
John R Reid+ (6-60)
Heath Streak (6-73)
Graeme Swann (6-65)
Brett Lee (5-30)
Josh Hazlewood (6-67)
You could also open the batting with Goddard (6-fer) or Mankad (8-fer)Love this, and but for the 'keeper element you could even get such luminaries as Joel Garner and Thommo into the side.
Ken Higgs 6/91 perhaps? Only 15 tests thoughIs there a potential replacement for Lee? I feel like there is probably a better bowler out there who can't top 6/60.
Damn Lee was ****.The "batters (and keeper) all have better "best bowling" figures than the bowlers" XI:

Not sure he would qualify as a bat. Feel like he was initially picked more as a bowler. Not sure what he is being picked as now.Dude, where's Roston Chase?
Conservatism really showing thereKevin Pietersen
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha where's Hutton dammitBen Stokes (captain)
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha so now longevity matters?James Anderson in the World XI
"and then get the readers to vote" is the key phraseSo obviously it's idiotic
Other than Jimmy Anderson, which is laughably absurd, this team is pretty fine tbhThe Telegraph All Time World XI:
Jack Hobbs
Sunil Gavaskar
Don Bradman (captain)
Viv Richards
Sachin Tendulkar
Garry Sobers
Adam Gilchrist
Shane Warne
Malcolm Marshall
James Anderson
Curtly Ambrose
Including Anderson is an embarrassing indictment of the Telegraph. How he could be ahead of the likes of Hadlee, McGrath, or even Steyn or Akram is beyond a joke. I've no bones to pick with the rest of their XI though.The Telegraph All Time World XI:
