Favourite All-Time XI

[shortpitched713]

Yes, I would. Bradman has been out of form for some time and needs to be protected.

I'd say hes just generally overrated.

 

[Tomm NCCC]

Not been into cricket too long, so dont expect anything special... I could just name a selection of Notts and England players

Sanath Jayasuriya
Matthew Hayden
Andrew Strauss
Brian Lara
Samit Patel
Andrew Flintoff
James Foster
Abdur Razzaq
Shane Warne
Ryan Sidebottom
Tino Best

 

[Jamee999]

G Boycott
D Maddy
B Lara
S Tendulkar
K Pietersen
A Flintoff
A Stewart+
I Botham
S Broad
M Panesar
P Tufnell

12: G Pratt

 

[aussie]

Tendulkar
Lara - Just think these two legends (my 2 fav players ever) coming out to open would be awesome. Particularly in ODIs. The opposition would crap themselves. I'm sure they could do it in tests too
Dravid - Utter respect for him.
Sir Don - Greatest of all time, says it all.
Sir Viv - Sheer brutality. Chewing gum + No helmet =
Sangakkara - Love watching him bat, and he's a top bloke. Very sophisticated.
Warne - as a spinner myself I love watching him work his art and bamboozle the opposition batsmen
Akhtar - Love watching him bowl. Excitement machine.
Ambrose - Prob my favourite bowler ever
Murali - Ditto Warne

top list yo..

Uttam relegates Shiv Sunder to numbe three - the way it should be.

[The Baconator]

Chris Gayle - Current king of cool
Mike Hussey - Well on his way to legendary status, favourite Aussie by a mile
Alec Stewart + * - Bat twizzler, favourite player when I was a kid, reason I became a keeper
Brian Lara - No one better to watch in full flow
Shivnarine Chanderpaul - Can't beat that stance
Younis Khan - Top player, good to watch
Chris Cairns - Don't really know why I like him, top player anyway
Daniel Vettori - Same as Cairns really
Ashley Giles - King of Spain, Wheelie Bin, good bloke
Chaminda Vaas - Cool lefty, often sports a beard of suncream
Makhaya Ntini - Always gives his all, like his bowling style

and for ODI's

1. Sachin Tendulkar
2. Adam Gilchrist
3. Viv Richards
4. Brian Lara
5. Ricky Ponting
6. Dean Jones
7. Ian Botham

Bowlers would die. Especially with 20 overs of powerplay.

 

[Burgey]

Graeme Wood - Can't run between wickets.
Rick Darling - ditto - makes for a very entertaining partnerhip that will quickly make way for:
Bradman - what more need be said?
Lara - ditto
Inzy - can't run between wickets and always looks aggrieved when run out.
Sobers - best all rounder ever
Gilly - best batsman/ keeper ever and we need him with 3 guaranteed early run outs
A Davidson - left arm, 180 wickets at less than 20 a piece
Warney - bowls leggies
Marshall - bowls fast and good
Lillee - ditto

A combination of slapstick running, devastating strokeplay and variety in attack.

 

[Burgey]

Chris Gayle

Nick Cave

James Dean

Samuel L Jackson

Or Twenty20

For me I have always picked an alternative all-time XI sticking clear of your Bradman and Sobers, everybody does it so I choose to be different.

Jack Hobbs
Sunil Gavaskar
George Headley
Sir Viv Richards
Graeme Pollock
Keith Miller
Allan Knott (my favourite keeper-batsman of all time)
Shane Warne
Wasim Akram
Richard Hadlee
Malcolm Marshall

12th man: Muttiah Muralitharan

Although on a spinning wicket you could take out a fast bowler and chuck in Murali. Richards would captain, I reckon that is one execellent side (tho' Warne may not bowl much )

 

[Matt79]

Samuel L Jackson

Samuel L's yorker is crap though, he never lands it on the spot.

 

[Jono]

Samuel L's yorker is crap though, he never lands it on the spot.

But he can kill snakes and quote bible passages before executing someone.

If he adds the yorker to his repotoire he's probably better than Bradman
