the 1972 World XI team

[Francis]

Does anybody know who was in the 1972 World XI team that toured Australia. I was hearing about Sobers making a huge double-hundred when it mattered in a second innings and it sparked my curiosity. Who, in 1972, made that team?

The ones I know made the team were:

Sunil Gavaskar
Graeme Pollock
Sir Garfield Sobers
Tony Grieg
Peter Pollock
Bishan Bedi

I think there were a few Pakistini (did I get that right?) players... but yeah I wanna know who selecters thought were the cream of the crop.

Hylton Ackerman (RSA), Asif Masood (Pak), Bishan Bedi (Ind), Bob Cunis (NZ), Farokh Engineer (Ind), Sunil Gavaskar (Ind), Norman Gifford (Eng), Tony Grieg (Eng), Richard Hutton (Eng), Intikhab Alam (Pak), Rohan Kanhai (WI), Clive Lloyd (WI), Graeme Pollock (RSA), Peter Pollock (RSA), Garry Sobers (capt, WI), Bob Taylor (Eng), Zaheer Abbas (Pak).

-That's explains why they where touring in the first place and the fact that a lot of the best players already had stuff on and so couldn't tour.

That's sobers' best knock during the series.

I forgive your bad spelling, but you have spelt it wrong quite a few times now. For the record, it's PakistAni.
