All Time XI Vote

[kyear2]

Since we are all in agreement that the ICC team was a sham, I am presenting the Forum members with an opportunity to select our own, with No position restrictions. I am hoping to select a first and second 11, with 5 points for each first team selection and 2 points for each second team selection, (similar to cricinfo selection) so lets see what we can come up with.

My selections.
Len Hutton

[smash84]

your first XI is quite similar to Richie Benaud's and I think a lot of the first XIs would be similar

Kallis at 4 in that second XI is pretty interesting. I'd have Chapple in there ahead of him personally with all those bowling options already there.

 

[Days of Grace]

I guess I'm picking Kallis ahead of Chappell as a batsman, at this stage.

viv > endulkar/chokedulkar (today's innings will prove my claim)

watch him score 8 off 40 balls and then get out

Nah, he'll rather do the same tommorrow, after sending in Ishant Sharma as the night-watchman today.

That'll conclusively prove that Jonathan Trott>Tendulkar

I met a BC cricketer in Canada who claimed he clean bowled Alan Knott on an MCC tour of Canada - reckons he pitched it outside leg stump and hit the top of off - (left arm orthodox)
