ESPNcricinfo World XI

ESPNcricinfo to pick world XI | All-time XIs | Cricinfo Magazine | Cricinfo.com

Pick your World XI. I think they screwed up how the players were divided. For example, you can only pick Sobers, Imran and Hadlee as all-rounders but not as specialist batsmen or bowlers. Whilst I understand that only those that got into their all-time XI were in contention, it makes it a bit of a joke as you can pick Inzamum, Jayawardene or Pietersen but not Ponting.

Anyway, my XI was:

Hobbs
Hutton
Bradman
Viv Richards
Chappell
Sobers
Miller
Gilchrist
Warne
Lillee
McGrath

Nah, no chance. Sehwag only scores on flat wickets.:ph34r:

There is only one way to settle this: Rock, paper, scissors.
 

Blakus

State Vice-Captain
Decided to be a bit democratic and ensure that every nation was represented

B.Richards
J.Hobbs
D.Bradman
V.Richards
S.Tendulkar
G.Sobers
A.Gilchrist
R.Hadlee
W.Akram
M.Marshall
M.Muralitharan

Would have had Imran over Akram if there hadn't been that stupid 2 allrounders limit
Still, it's a pretty good team.
