Sutcliffe-Smith-Sangakkara-Ponting-Younis-Miller-Knott-Davidson-Garner-Steyn-Murali

Very close on the first, just 2 batsmen wrong. Only 1 batsman, 2 bowlers and the keeper right in the 2nd. Completely forgot about Smith tbh, he might make it in ahead of Hayden or Boycott.

So so close, just swap 1 batsman between the two teams!

Hammond for Lara?

 

[Coronis]

Gottem.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Victory. Having Red's attempt to crib from helped, and you recently stated your preference for partnering Sutcliffe with Hobbs in another thread. Sanga vs Ponting was a coinflip for the 2nd xi.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Southern Hemisphere vs Northern Hemisphere

Ha. I did this late at night and forgot quite a few good cricketers ?

Babar over Root by about the distance between here and Pluto

 

[Pothas]

Root is going to have a great year.

I'd probably think about making Root open. Sure Root kinda sucked at his opening adventure in Test cricket but no-one will convince me Sibley is better at it. I'd pick Azhar ahead of Sibley as well.

Yeah Sibley doesn't convince me much at all, Root (despite my personal disdain for him) is clearly more talented than Sibley, not a horrendous call

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Yeah far enough.

Another option is to open with Pujara and play Root at 3

So this is based off career acheivments as opposed to actual Stars preformances?

Steyn for example only played about 4 games and didn't really set the world on fire from memory
