Headley's record on bad wickets where the team score is low is significantly better than Bradman's. In other words, Bradman was not overly proficient in rescueing his team when the conditions were bad, and the batting order had subsequently collapsed.

This new trend of playing Miller in the top order of an All Time XI over Tendulkar, Richards, Headley, Hammond and Lara is bordering on rediculous, and that is even before he is placed ahead of Sobers in the batting order. He is not a World Class or even top class batsman, whats the deal?
Yeah I'm not big on Sobers's bowling either and I rate Imran a better overall cricketer, but even just on batting alone he surely has to get a gig. The fact that he could bowl a bit is just a handy aside that means you can just pick the six best batsmen (of which he is unquestionably apart) and not have to worry about picking an a mix-and-match allrounder for balance.
FATB for that side! Pretty colours. Would definitely put Tallon in though if I was only allowed one change.
Slightly different take on the partnerships XI....
OK, you show me yours and I'll show you mine.Here's mine today.....
1. Jack Hobbs
2. Geoff Boycott
3. Don Bradman
4. George Headley
5. Viv Richards
6. Garry Sobers
7. Allan Knott
8. Wasim Akram
9. Malcolm Marshall
10. Shane Warne
11. Dennis Lillee
Quite like that side apart from having a comparative muppet wielding the gloves.
"c Marsh b Lillee" is certainly one of the most fascinating partnerships, well thought out.
Miller and Mates XI
Love both those teams, especially the English one.
And he's been world class more or less that whole time. That's what sets him apart.
