OK, you show me yours and I'll show you mine.

01. Sunil Gavaskar

05. Gary Sobers
06. Aubrey Faulkner
07. Mike Proctor
08. Alan Knott
09. Malcolm Marshall

11. Sydney Barnes

An acceptable way of squeezing SF Barnes, a top notch Googly bowler, and 3 quicks into the side.

Jeff Thomson
Bishen Bedi
12th- Chandresaker (sp)

Quite like that side apart from having a comparative muppet wielding the gloves.

Here's my new take that wasn't invented on the spot whilst I was on the train (no Bradman)

Jack Hobbs
Herbert Sutcliffe
Rahul Dravid
Sachin Tendulkar
Keith Miller
VVS Laxman
Rod Marsh
Ray Lindwall
Dennis Lillee
Clarrie Grimmett
Bill O'Reilly

What about a Miller and his mates XI? I know he was great friends with Larwood, O'Reilly, Compton, Lindwall - I'll dig around some of my books now, I think you could make a seriously deadly XI from them.

"c Marsh b Lillee" is certainly one of the most fascinating partnerships, well thought out.

Quote:

Throughout his Australian career Lillee was also famous for his partnership with wicketkeeper Rod Marsh, and the scorecard entry 'c Marsh b Lillee' appeared 95 times in Tests, a partnership record between wicketkeeper and bowler that is yet to be broken. Coincidentally, both players ended their careers with 355 Test dismisals

Miller and Mates XI

- B. Woodfull (Miller's school headmaster and a man he greatly admired)
- S. Watson (Read a book about Miller once to try and become cooler and less of a knob)
- I. Chappell (Miller was his childhood hero, and they drank together as adults)
- N. Harvey (Often recollected in Chappelli and Miller drinking session stories)
- L. Hassett (Greatly admired by Miller as a man and leader)
- D. Compton (England's version of Miller and close friend of Miller's)
- K. Miller (captain)
- R. Benaud (Delivered the eulogy at Miller's funeral)
- S. Loxton (Aus teammate and great mate of Miller and Harvey)
- R. Lindwall (partner in crime)
- B. O'Reilly (Happy to take Jager's word for it)

Harvey or Chappelli might have to keep. Ian Johnson probably not in the touring party.

Very hard exclusion of Lindwall and Harvey

Finally came to conclusion about all time England team

England XI

Hobbs
Hutton
Hammond
May
Compton
Woolley
Knott
Larwood
Verity
Trueman
Barnes

Love both those teams, especially the English one.

And he's been world class more or less that whole time. That's what sets him apart.

smalishah84 · 25-10-2012, 05:05 AM

indeed.....that does set him apart

Jager · 25-10-2012, 06:30 AM

Great team there Monk but you forgot Miller's long time friend in Larwood. Will have to dig up the book I read it in but from what I they were great mates

He didn't forget him; Sam Loxton was just correctly adjudged the better bowler.
