Try and make a current XI with your favourite players.

I would love to see Shoaib and Lee bowling in tandem though. Two 150+ bowlers with the new ball sending down some fiery bouncers, coupled with occasional reverse swinging yorker, and of course shoaib's slower ball. Ahhhhh. And then Murali and Warne on a subcontinetal pitch. Now that would be classic.

Gotta agree that Shoaib, Lee, Warne, Murali sounds better than McGrath, Ambrose, Warne and Murali on subcontinental belters. Good choice.

Indeed.

It's interesting to note that Ganguly was forced out of international cricket by a conspiracy of international scoreboard operators. As Saurav's dignity and international career lengthened, so did his name and official titles.

He of course insisted on his full name and title being featured prominently on the scoreboards (the shortened version* of which appears on pages 384-387 of "Who's Who"), but eventually something had to give and it did.

They ran out of nails to hang the letters on.


*His Quietly Impressive And Most Magnificently Dignified And Superbly Balanced And Clever Left-Handedness Saurav Finbar Aloysius O'Flaherty Wills Ganguly, Defender Of The Faith, Painkiller, Sad Wings Of Destiny And All The Other Good Albums By Judas Priest, Saviour Of The Nation, Saviour Of The Notion, Saviour Of The Lotion, Drinker Of The Potion, Conqueror Of Players, Player Of Conkers, Inventor Of Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You forgot 'holder of the sacred chalice' from his list of titles.
how dare you !
You are personna non grata !

Ponting, Streak and Hoggy are excellent. I used to like Harvey. Gayle is pretty cool. You have good taste.

Yeah man, I think it was your XI which got my attention at the front of the thread (Y) good tastes indeed

Dippenear is a wonderful batsman, technically brilliant. So go and vomit.
