I think I'll go with this Batting line up. Switched Redpath & Cowper.

I'm assuming that we vote for our 3 favourite teams as per usual. Not sure why Jimmy has placed a vote next to everyone.

At the risk of appearing anal retentive - I would like numbers next to each player. Looking at long rows of mere names is confusing to my brain. OK I'm weird, but happy that way just the same.

Completely agree with this.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

If it's 1945-77 the selections of David Gower, Allan Border and Kepler Wessels are ludicrous, the selection of Joel Garner highly suspect and the selection of Javed Miandad a tad iffy.

It was when they made their debut, or if they played enough matches after the war.

 

[kingkallis]

'Generous' Jimmy made sure NO team will have 0 vote

 

[kingkallis]

Watson for drafting an excellent team
Himmanv for overall good team
Fredfertang for his bowling which is 2nd next to only me

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Excellent teams guys. Voted for Watson, Coronis and Fred

 

[Himannv]

Bagapath replaced Lawry with Washbrook?

 

[kyear2]

Intended to vote for Blakus, but unintentionally voted for Jimmy instead.

Voted for Watson, Blakus and Pothas.

ANDY
The attack of Roberts-Procter-Dev-Tayfield-Mushtaq-Hazare-Simpson is superb because of its skill and variety. Simpson-McGlew-Hassett form a rock solid top order, and Mushtaq-Dev-Procter provide the fireworks in the middle-order. With Tallon going in at No.9 the team has good batting depth.

POTHAS
The class of the batting line-up (right down to Jim Parks) was too hard to ignore. Statham-Toshak-Valentine-Chappell-Walters is a reasonable attack that is transformed by the inclusion of Dennis Lillee. With Lillee it has just enough firepower to claim the 20 wickets necessary.

BAGAPATH
Bagapath's bowling line-up is highly imaginative and I really like the combination of Hall-Pollock-Botham-Qadir-Mankad. Hutton and Washbrook work really well together, and Vishy gives the middle-order some much needed stability. The lower-middle-order of Botham-Kirmani-Pollock means the batting line-up will be no push over, and do just enough to support the bowling attack

 

[smash84]

Fred's team probably the best....

 

[Himannv]

Went with Watson, kingkallis and AZH.

 

[smash84]

Fred, AZH, and KK

If all of these XI's ever face each other, should be a piece of Cake for Himannv's to win
