Even though I am a fan of using peer rating, I also don't really count cricketers rating those not in their own era. This is a good example why.

I am surprised why the legendary Don Bradman did not pick Jack Hobbs in his all time eleven.

Players have a big tendency to pick those who they played with or against.

I am pretty sure I heard from quite a few sources that he didn't picked the team himself.

Hayden over Gavaskar.

Even @shortpitched713 wouldn't say that.

Dang, I didn't realize that Khawaja was a fellow Hayden appreciator. No wonder he's such a gun opener himself.

Plays more like Gavaskar himself

Because Barry

And Arthur Morris.......

And Arthur Morris.......

If it was really even written by him.

Clear bias towards players he played with/against, unsurprisingly. 7/11 players selected he played with, excluding himself. Morris, Tallon, Lindwall, Bedser, O’Reilly, Grimmett, Hammond (12th man)

Especially heavy bias towards the Invincibles. Small selections like Morris over Ponsford and Tallon over Oldfield kinda signifies that. Not to mention how pathetic the tail is with Tallon batting at 6!!!

That was the trend in teams at the time he played.

It's weird how people pay more attention to Bradman's side than any of his contemporaries'. Being better at batting doesn't mean you have the better opinion!

I mean, it's not the same if Tendulkar makes a team and so does Banger; even if Banger have better opinions.

You're proving the point. It's objectively the same.

Highly unlikely he will ever a make his “best team”

The guy is too politically correct and has not even said who is the best bowler he has faced

I mean of course, people will pay attention to famous player’s sides more. But yeah I mean all the peer rating and XIs I’ve seen from top players - they don’t quite have the best judgement imo.

There was one English cricketer who picked the most weird all time great eleven. I forgot his name
