Well here’s ChatGPT’s best attempts at mine.

Cricketer Of The Year
So McGrath has always been Atherton all along.
Looks like Andy Caddick in the second pic.
The Sean
Cricketer Of The Year
Those faces will haunt my dreams.
Front left (Hobbs/Sutcliffe?) looks like one of the lads has invited his dad along for a game because they were a man short that day.

Front left is Hobbs I feel.
Marshall had an insane growth spurt between the two pictures.
Tendulkar in the middle of some sort of trip
Bradman and Gilchrist on a completely different kind of trip. And Hammond hates being asked to be photgraphed twice (if that’s him)

Grok X All-Time Test XI
1-Sir Jack Hobbs (England, 1908–1930)
Stats: 5,410 runs @ 56.94, 15 centuries
Why: The “Master” excelled on tricky uncovered pitches, scoring heavily against all bowling types. His technique and temperament make him the perfect opener.
2-Len Hutton (England, 1937–1955)
Stats: 6,971 runs @ 56.67, 19 centuries
Why: A classical opener with a watertight defense, Hutton’s 364 against Australia in 1938 remains iconic. Complements Hobbs beautifully.
3-Sir Don Bradman (Australia, 1928–1948)
Stats: 6,996 runs @ 99.94, 29 centuries
Why: The greatest batsman in history. His average is untouchable, and his dominance at No. 3 is a no-brainer.
4-Sachin Tendulkar (India, 1989–2013)
Stats: 15,921 runs @ 53.78, 51 centuries
Why: The Little Master’s longevity, adaptability, and mastery over every attack make him the backbone at No. 4.
5-Sir Vivian Richards (West Indies, 1974–1991)
Stats: 8,540 runs @ 50.23, 24 centuries
Why: A fearless aggressor, Richards intimidated bowlers like no other. His flair and power add dynamism.
6-Sir Garry Sobers (West Indies, 1954–1974)
Stats: 8,032 runs @ 57.78, 26 centuries; 235 wickets @ 34.03
Why: The finest all-rounder ever—batting brilliance plus bowling options (pace, swing, or spin). A true match-winner.
7-Adam Gilchrist (Australia, 1999–2008) (Wicketkeeper)
Stats: 5,570 runs @ 47.60, 17 centuries; 416 dismissals
Why: Redefined wicketkeeping with explosive batting. His lower-order fireworks and glovework are invaluable.
8-Shane Warne (Australia, 1992–2007)
Stats: 708 wickets @ 25.41, 37 five-wicket hauls
Why: The wizard of leg-spin, Warne’s artistry and clutch performances make him the premier spinner.
9-Wasim Akram (Pakistan, 1985–2002)
Stats: 414 wickets @ 23.62, 25 five-wicket hauls
Why: A left-arm genius, Akram’s swing (conventional and reverse) and cunning make him unplayable.
10-Malcolm Marshall (West Indies, 1978–1991)
Stats: 376 wickets @ 20.94, 22 five-wicket hauls
Why: The complete fast bowler—pace, bounce, swing, and smarts. His average is phenomenal.
11-Glenn McGrath (Australia, 1993–2007)
Stats: 563 wickets @ 21.64, 29 five-wicket hauls
Why: A metronome of accuracy, McGrath’s consistency and big-match nous round out the attack.

Think this is the team, certainly among the wider community.
Yes there can be, and are very legitimate quibbles here for Hadlee, but for some reason those aren't shared outside of this learned community, (and of course my personal crusade and lonely vigil for one B.A. Richards) and the only other tenuous position probably being the one held by the master blaster, especially here.
