Would you play Keith Miller in your Australia ATG XI?

[subshakerz]

Miller is one of the top ARs ever but does he fit in your Australia ATG side?

Where do you put him, at no.6 or no.8?

And which ATG bat or bowler would you drop to accommodate him?

No Lillee, honestly?

And does Cummins fit in eventually?

 

[capt_Luffy]

No Lillee, honestly?

And does Cummins fit in eventually?

I rate Lillee and Lindwall almost equal, so Lindwall being a better bat and having a well established partnership with Miller pushes him for me.

Cummins might come in for Lindwall in a few years.

 

[Coronis]

No.

 

[sayon basak]

yes.

 

[subshakerz]

No.

What's your XI if you don't mind me asking?

The 4 bowlers are all used to sending down lots of overs so no need for a 4th quick. Chappell can turn his arm over for a few if needed.

I agree with that middle order. But you can't drop Lillee...

 

[subshakerz]

@kyear2 do you think Simpson is necessary if you don't have Miller I assume?

 

[Coronis]

I agree with that middle order. But you can't drop Lillee...

I’m not dropping him. I never had him in there. Don’t rate him as highly as Lindwall or Davidson.

Will Cummins make it in eventually?

No he doesn't.

I have him as an ATG, but his bowling is going to be supplementary at best and the batting isn't good enough.

Simpson and Border can fill in those gaps.

And Chappell?

Australia’s ATG Xi

Trumper
Hayden

Smith
Ponting
Border
Gilchrist+
Davidson (3)
Lindwall (2)
O’Reilly (4)
McGrath (1)

That’s the team I am going with for now. Lillee, Warne and Chappell unfortunate to be left out.

And Chappell?

Yeah Chappell’s bowling never seems to get mentioned unlike Border. Despite similar records and Chappell bowling much more often.
