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
