    He pretty much averaged over 50 against Australia.From 1932(from O’Reillys debut) to 1938 ,Hammond averaged 49 against Australia including 55 in Australia.the Indias bowling attack wasnt that bad with neser and Amar Singh being pretty good bowler.And the wis attack he got was pretty good as...

    I guess it’s because we refer most probably the greatest opening partnership of all time as hobbs and sutcliffe.

Dont know which selection you found surprising.Hobbs, Hutton,D.G.B, Hammond,smith,sobers,Knott ,Steyn...

    Sutcliffe Edit-Gavasker instead of G.smith as this is best xi without being hypothetical.As I was being hypothetical abt seeing sutcliffe and gavasker open.As it would be boring. Lillee Steyn

    +Walter Hammond.Totally forgot abt Hammond.Who in my list would be among top 10 cricketer ever.

    All time world test XI selection

    Bradman was a really clever captain.Was really really competitive.His stature as a cricketer undeniably has helped him more. "A good captain must be a fighter; confident but not arrogant, firm but not obstinate; able to take criticism without letting it unduly disturb him, for he is sure to get...

    W.R Hammond bats at 5 Bradman(c)

    All time world test XI selection

    I would say he paid for 1928-29 after returning in 46-47 in his stats.In hindsight you could say he didn’t need to return but he did it for cricket.I guess many are chosing Hammond including me cause he was a really good bowler.can easily be the 6th bowler and an ATG in slips+an ATG batsman.

    Ya,Sobers makes the team in batting alone.No question on that at all.I would have Hammond at 5,sobers at 6 in my all time team

    All time world test XI selection

    I saw Sobers bat.He was better batsman for sure. But Kallis matched sobers as a bowler,almost as a batsman and as a fielder.Cant be in different level if you don’t have much better stats in any of 3 departments.The stats don’t show sobers was in different level. Kallis 13000+ runs at 55 292 wkts...

    Kallis matched sobers in everything.Batting,bowling, catching.Has to be in Sobers level.
  15. Nikhil99.99

    All time world test XI selection

    Kallis is up there in same level as Sobers.

    All time world test XI selection

    Hammond Picked Barnes but saw that players who played after WW1 can only be chosed so Steyn

    The CricketWeb comprehensive list of ALL TIME GREATS (ATGs) discussion

    If I had to go to 20 ATGs,I would go Batsman Bradman Richards Hobbs SRT Lara Spinners Murali O’Reilly Warne All rounder Sobers Kallis Imran Hadlee Fast bowlers/medium pacer McGrath Steyn Marshall Ambrose Lillee Wk Knott Gilchrist Barnes-spin +medium pace.

  19. Nikhil99.99

    All time world test XI selection

    Knott ,S.F Barnes getting underrated imo.0 vote for both excluding mine.Would be interesting to see whether either of the 2 make 2nd xi.
