to answer Monk's question: I think that Martin Crowe should have been included by virtue of the fact that he is New Zealand's greatest batsman, laid the foundation for series wins in the mid-80s, and was fabulous to watch as a spectator.

Since Javed Miandad represents Pakistan as their greatest batsman (6th team), it seems fair that Inzy should make way for Crowe in Armstrong's list.
