I'd trade Shakib for Dev but I think Bangladesh deserve to be represented

Imran and Kapil were similar as ODI bowlers maybe Imran was marginally better but Kapil was a significantly better bat and fielder.

Depends where the games played. I feel the first team wins if played in India

Hobbs
Gavaskar
Hutton
Sutcliffe
Smith
Simpson
Boycott
Trumper
Richards/Cook/Greenidge

Depends on how you rate Richards and Cook

Think Lawry was better than Simpson

Richards shouldn’t be in the discussion if its about tests. Hayden, Lawry definitely deserve mentions if Cook is somehow there. Trumper is always a harder one to judge.

Interestingly he played a large portion of his career not actually opening.

As opener:

52 innings 1650 runs @ 33.00, 3 tons, 9 fifties

Not opening:

37 innings 1513 runs @ 48.80, 5 tons, 4 fifties

Could argue for Ashwin over Kapil with Imran good enough to bat 7. Gets an extra spinner in there and still got three ATG quicks.

Imran and Kapil were similar as ODI bowlers maybe Imran was marginally better but Kapil was a significantly better bat and fielder.

His bowling stats only look close to Dev cause he played a very long time ..Imran Khan in his prime , pace , swing and reverse swing ..his inswinger is the best I've seen

Kapil Dev was 35 when he retired , had Imran Khan retired at 35 he would have had a bowling average of 21 , and a batting average of 29 ..


Kapil Dev was better in terms of Strike Rate but not consistency ..He only averaged 23 in his career which is similar to Shahid Afridi , and Dev's average as low as it is , is boosted a great deal by that 175 not out vs Zimbabwe..


I had Imran Khan at no.8 in my team as a superior bowler , but he also averaged 32 with the bat which is excellent for a no.8 ..

In fact towards the end of his career, Imran Khan was good enough to bat any position ..

His last 4 years of ODI cricket he scored 13 50's in 58 innings, 1743 runs at an average of 40.53 ..

I would pick Imran all day long ..Looked cool aswell
