Favorite bowler/batsman XI

The Wheel is Forever
If you had to make an XI out of your favorite bowlers (bowler avg. <35, 100 wickets) and batsmen (avg >35, 1000 runs) what would it look like?

Bowler XI:

  1. Sobers
  2. Botham
  3. Kallis
  4. Miller
  5. Imran *
  6. Flintoff
  7. Mankad
  8. Wasim
  9. Marshall
  10. Warne
  11. McGrath

Sobers has to open due to being the best batsman of the lot. Kallis with his steadying influence at 3. Had Botham open with Sobers because IMO he had a pretty good technique. I have Flintoff in there as this is my favorite XI not necessarily best XI.

Batting XI:

  1. Hobbs
  2. Gavaskar
  3. Bradman
  4. Tendulkar
  5. Border
  6. Gilchrist+
  7. Richards
  8. Sobers
  9. Kallis
  10. Miller
  11. Imran

Need help with one more in my batting XI. Border can bowl a bit. Miller and Imran obviously the main bowlers.

IMO the batting side would come out on top, what do you think?

Gilly to take the gloves and make the XI?

I don't think it would be a massacre TBH.

Miller and Imran really put the batting side over the top, without them it would be close. Because Imran and Miller can definitely go in as bowlers alone.
