Why aren't people picking Wasim??? he is one of the best out there

 

[roseboy64]

Maybe because this is for Tests not ODIs.

 

[NikhilN]

He got a career avg of 23 with 414 wickets in tests

 

[roseboy64]

No offense to Wasim.

Its a matter of opinion mate. If you want to add 3 out and out bowlers I would say add Barnes, Marshall and Lillee but you might want to include another allrounder (ie Imran) and drop Lillee. You could also consider Trueman, Laker, Botham, Larwood, Miller, Lindwall, McGrath, O'Reilly, Warne, Grimmett, Ambrose, Holding, Garner, Gibbs, Hadlee, Wasim, Waqar, Dev, Donald, Pollock...the list is endless.

Be sure to stick in good old Ricky. HE could walk into any world XI.

Unless you want bowlers, in which case you should look into Ritchie Benaud. Or a fast bowler... mabye Glenn McGrath?

While Hayden and Gilchrist are very good players I think putting them in an all-time XI is stretching it.

I would swap Sobers and Lara around.

My all-time XI

SG Gavaskar
JB Hobbs
GA Headley
*IVA Richards
RG Pollack
+APE Knott
Sir RJ Hadlee
SK Warne
Wasim Akram
MD Marshall
M Muralitharan

12th man: Imran Khan

This was the side I had first picked when Bradman's all-time XI was released after he passed away, but I had found a liking to this side. If Bradman wasnt going to Graeme Pollack, I certainly am!

 

[marc71178]

Needs thought, and I should be working now, so I'll do mine later.
