All time world test XI selection

[OverratedSanity]

Guy scores 300 in a day and random poster 90 years later says he wasnt fast scoring.

 

[trundler]

What made Bradman Bradman was the fact that he batted as long as Sutcliffe and scored as fast as McCabe

 

[271 & 16/166]

Lara

Bradman

Weird that people have this perception that Bradman wasn't fast-scoring

I wasnt aware that he was. Good to know.

Definitely more Lara or Ponting when it comes to scoring rate than Dravid or Kallis.

Viv
Hutton

 

[Red]

Bradman wins the captaincy fairly soundly while Viv just beats Lara by two votes.

Therefore, the first XI is:

Jack Hobbs
Len Hutton
Don Bradman *
Sachin Tendulkar
Viv Richards
Gary Sobers
Adam Gilchrist +
Imran Khan
Shane Warne
Malcolm Marshall
Glenn McGrath
