Delicious looking dudes XI (must have been done before and probs by me)

Steve Fleming
Rahul Dravid
Jaques Kallis (strictly from the mid 90s)
Damien Martyn
MS Dhoni
Imran Khan
Shahid Afridi
Dan Vettori
Pat Cummins
Brett Lee
Shane Bond
Being very generous to a couple of these guys

Is Vettori a dreamboat if you’re into men? I always thought he looked like a computer geek that’s not been well.
Nerds can be good looking too. Alternatives are slim for the spin department. Warne maybe right after the ban when he lost bunch of weight. Swann looks like Andy Bernard from the office

vettori is hot. unless you're ruling out all men who wear glasses, the guy matured from awkward 18 year old to an absolute banger.

he's also not a nerd unless you class anyone capable of reading (so rules out most players and commentators) a nerd. all the nz autobiographies paint him as an extroverted party animal alpha dog on the town.

You can't have a credible bald XI without Sir Geoffrey.
true

since this is a test XI, we can go

Geoffrey boycott
Virendra Sehwag
Hashim Amla
Brian Lara
Jacques Kallis
Darren Lehman
Matt Prior +
Vernon Philander
Frank Tyson
Bill O'Reilly
Dennis Lillee

Only Lehman is in the "very good" league. Perhaps Philander, too. Rest have very legit claims to greatness of varying degrees.

Didn't think Lara was bald for a significant portion of his playing career?

Also do a facial hair XI. Starting with WG Grace.

ODI pre-ODI team:

Bradman
Hobbs
Hutton
Grace
Compton
Ames +
Tate
Grimmett
Trueman
O'Reilly
Barnes

12th man: Bland

No Jessop, it's rather tough to fit him in. No Saffers whose FC careers extended past 1975 either.

Tail bad; it's tempting to remove O'Reilly and put in Goddard.
