All-Time World Twenty20 XI

[smash84]

KP and Swann? I think you need to remove the England-coloured glasses mate

You would imagine Joel Garner would of been a nightmare to play in this format, with his obvious pace and bounce but also he was meant to have the best yorker in the business.

Yeah. Wasim would have been more than a handful in this format too I think. Had tremendous variety and ALWAYS mixed up his deliveries.

ohhh, 4 overs today...but still...omg

This. OMG

Spinner's slot to Vettori?

 

[Daemon]

Shaun Marsh should be considered as well, although he hasn't done well in the 5 international T20s he's played. Besides that his record is pretty damn good.

 

[Athlai]

Vettori only getting one mention so far is a bit of a shocker.

 

[NUFAN]

I'll go with:

1. Chris Gayle
2. Mahela Jayawardene
3 Brendon McCullum+
4. Kevin Pietersen
5. Yuvraj Singh
6. Michael Hussey
7. Shahid Afridi
8. Umar Gul
9. Lasith Malinga
10. Shaun Tait
11. Ajantha Mendis

 

[NUFAN]

Vettori only getting one mention so far is a bit of a shocker.

His batting is a non factor in T20s. I think Vettori while very good is behind Mendis, Afridi and Ajmal.

 

[kingpin]

1.Chris Gayle
2.Brandon McCullum
3.Kevin Pietersen
4.Yuvraj Singh
5.Raina/Morgan
6.Afridi(All rounder)
7.Mussey
8.Umar Gul
9.Lasith Malinga
10.Shaun Tait
11.Vetorri

7. Shahid Afridi
8. Umar Gul
9. Lasith Malinga
10. Shaun Tait
11. Ajantha Mendis

The above is a pretty good team although I might have Ajmal in place of Mendis as my spinner of choice

 

[GIMH]

If we're talking people who have played T20, KP is a shoo-in. I'd have Afridi in there too

yeah Kieron Pollard is a must!!

[karan316]

Chris Gayle,
Brendon Mcullum,
Shane Watson,
Yuvraj Singh,
Shahid Afridi,
Yusuf Pathan,
Kierron Pollard,
Stuart Broad,
Lasith Malinga,
Umar Gul,
Dale Steyn.

Albie Morkel would be the 12th man

 

[zaremba]

Jessop and Constantine high on the list of old timers for this one.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Afridi would be awesome in super over cricket.

 

[truth]

Afridi would be awesome in super over cricket.

tbh, he is one of the few players who can play any format, provided that he plays under a good leader like Younus Khan, his bowling alone is good enough to get him in the team in any format. Shoaib Malik ruined his career.

 

[weeman27bob]

There does seem to be remarkably few batsmen at international level who excel in all three formats.

 

[Himannv]

I'll go with:

1. Chris Gayle
2. Mahela Jayawardene
3 Brendon McCullum+
4. Kevin Pietersen
5. Yuvraj Singh
6. Michael Hussey
7. Shahid Afridi
8. Umar Gul
9. Lasith Malinga
10. Shaun Tait
11. Ajantha Mendis

Fabulous team for this format.

 

[fredfertang]

This lot would beat them

Barry Richards
Colin Milburn
Don Bradman
Garry Sobers
Gilbert Jessop
Clyde Walcott
Keith Miller
Harold Larwood
Jim Laker
Sydney Barnes
Tiger O'Reilly

They didn't all play in the same "era" though did they.

That'd be far more interesting, to try and find a team from the past where all the players played within five years of each other.

Something like:

Jayasuria
Gilchrist
Lara
Ganguly
Carins
Klusener
Pollock
Akram
Mushtaq
Younis

Just threw that together, there's probably better teams.

You must be kidding
