All time Australia XI vs all time England XI
I have come up with an all time Australia XI to face an all time England XI. What do you think of it and how do you think I could improve my sides.
Australia: Victor Trumper Bill Ponsford Don Bradman Greg Chapell Steve Waugh (cpt) Keith Miller Adam Gilchrist (wkt) Ray Lindwall Shane Warne Dennis Lillie Glenn Mcgrath 12TH MAN: Alan Border England: Jack Hobbs Len Hutton Wally Hammond Dennis Compton WG Grace (cpt) Ian Botham Alan Knott (wkt) Alec Bedser Jim Laker Fred Trueman Sydney Barnes 12TH MAN: Harold Larwood It will be very close I would tip Australia to win in a five match series.

I think you are right Bradamn should just give Australia the advantage.
In the England side you have no lefties at all. Woolley or Gower come to mind. Woolley would add to the spin bowling with Laker. England have always favoured a left handed off spinner against the Aussies. Who would you leave out though?

England
1. Hobbs 2. Sutcliffe 3. Hammond 4. Ranji 5. Compton 6. Ames 7. Botham 8. Rhodes 9. Trueman 10. Barnes 11 Laker Australia 1. Trumper 2. Ponsford 3. Bradman 4. Greg Chappell 5. Harvey 6. Miller 7. Warne 8.Lindwall 9.Oldfield 10.Lillee 11.Orielly Both teams bat deep. There are three top grade fast bowlers and two spinners in Australia and England have two pure fast bowlers, one off spinner, one left arm spinner, a useful medium pacer in Hammond AND arguably the greatest bowler of all times, the incomparable Barnes Australian spinners are both leg spinners. Cant help it. At least Orielly is not a conventional leg spinner and was more in the fastish/Kumble mould. England have much more variety Australia are always favourites once they have Bradman but in this case England have Barnes !! |
