Atherton
Gooch
Gower
Thorpe
Pietersen
Prior
Botham
Flintoff
Swann
Anderson/Gough
Willis

Rather slim pickings on the bowling, especially if I'm not allowed Willis.

NUFAN · 08-11-2012, 03:45 PM

Willis is allowed and that's a good team. I'm thinking personally that I would already rate Cook above Atherton.

The Sean · 08-11-2012, 03:47 PM

Boycott retired in '82 so I'd take him over all of them if I'm allowed to include him.

Monk · 08-11-2012, 03:57 PM

If Boycott's allowed...

Boycott
Gooch
Stewart
Gower
Pietersen
Botham
Flintoff
Russell
Swann
Willis
Gough

Ha, hadn't realised Deadly finished in '82 as well - in that case I reckon this would be my team too, with just Anderson to potentially replace Gough.

Yep, agreed. Definitely Anderson though for mine.

MrPrez · 11-11-2012, 12:12 PM

Sorry if already been done, but make a best possible XI using one player from each Test nation, and the eleventh from an associate. All time.

For me:
1)Hobbs
2)T.Iqbal
3)Bradman
4)Tendulkar
5)Kallis
6)ten Doeschate
7)Flower (+)
8)Akram
9)Hadlee
10)Muralitharan
11)Holding

Prince EWS · 11-11-2012, 07:58 PM

Bart King so much better than ten Doeschate, surely. Then you can pick Sobers instead of Holding.

EDIT: Wait, why the **** did you pick Holding ahead of Marshall anyway?

kyear2 · 11-11-2012, 08:18 PM

That was also my first thought when I saw his team.

Dan · 11-11-2012, 10:30 PM

Jack Hobbs
Sunil Gavaskar
Donald Bradman
Graeme Pollock
Frank Worrell *
Andrew Flower +
Shakib al Hasan
Imran Khan
Bart King
Richard Hadlee
Muttiah Muralitharan

OR

Barry Richards
Tamim Iqbal
Kumar Sangakkara
Martin Crowe
Sachin Tendulkar
Javed Miandad
Keith Miller
Bart King
Heath Streak
Malcolm Marshall
Hedley Verity

Couldn't think of a replacement for King, so he maintains his place in both XIs.

Well Mike Denness played for Scotland so he probably counts if you're looking for a cheaty associate option.
