The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

[kyear2]

My second XI for instance

Hobbs
Gavaskar
Hammond
Smith
Lara
Kallis
Knott
Imran
Hadlee
Steyn
Murali

Still leaving top level greats like Ambrose, Lillee, Chappell, Headley, O'Reilly

 

[kyear2]

How to say Barry Richards is the greatest Test opener ever, without actually saying it

Not what I was trying to say, and I do rate Hutton and Hobbs over him.

You may not agree with all of the players in my XI, but there's legitimate reasons being all of them.

Barry like Wasim is there because he has the quality, but also special attributes and abilities that no one else has.

The attribute of fooling everyone with 4 Tests.....

[Van_Sri]

1980s Test Team : 1) Gordon Greenidge 2) Desmond Haynes 3) Viv Richards 4) Martin Crowe 5) Javed Miandad 6) Allan Border 7) Jeff Dujon 8) Imran Khan 9) Richard Hadlee 10) Malcolm Marshall 11) Joel Garner. I always had a doubt how good was David Gower ? Can he make this Team ?

New Zealand:

Lance Hemus
Greg Hay
Syd Hiddleton
Ces Dacre
Scott Briasco
Chris Nevin+
Dan Reese*
Gren Alabaster
Arthur Fischer
Tom Pritchard
Charlie Frith

Unless you're not counting current players, Tom Bruce and Dane Cleaver (both very unlikely to get a test cap at this point) should replace Briasco and Nevin.

Tommy Kelaart is definitely the best player in there (maybe except 2 South Africans and an Englishman)

What’s your 1980s Team ?

 

[capt_Luffy]

Unless you're not counting current players, Tom Bruce and Dane Cleaver (both very unlikely to get a test cap at this point) should replace Briasco and Nevin.

I ain't. Only retired ones who are almost 99.94% certain to go uncapped.

Frank Roro > Keelart

Don't know anything about him. Provide me with a description

In that case Derek de Boorder instead of Nevin.

I was also thinking of Arnold Williams, but don't think his batting is enough

Who on earth is Joe misso? Suprised ryan higgins does not make zimbabwe

Actually I forgot about Ervin McSweeney who was stuck behind Ian Smith in the 80s.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Joe Misso has scored the most number of centuries in Grade cricket (312). Played Club cricket in England and has around 150 centuries in SL as well. Had forgotton about him completely.
Higgins is still active and can technically pick a cap.

Yeah the name is strange and sadly so is the available information beside that record.

What's your first XI pace attack if both Hadlee and Steyn are in the second?
