Athlai doesn't lie. And he doesn't do sarcasm either, so you know it's true!

After consideration:

World XI:

Victor Trumper: Spectacular free scorong batsman, good fielder
Jack Hobbs: Could anchor the innings, lead the charge, on anything in between. Great cover fielder and capable of fiddling a few overs if required.
Charlie McCartney: Powerhouse batsman, good SLA bowler
Graeme Pollock/Wally Hammond: Hammond#s decent support seam bowling and outstanding fielding might get him the nod but so might Pollock being a southpaw.
Gilbert Jessop: Legendary fast scorer, outstanding cover fielder and another very useful back up bowler.
Keith Miller: Almost made for the One Day game
Albert Trott: Hard hitting batsman, reputedly bowled everything from slow leg breaks to fast stuff, sometimes all in the same over.
George Hirst: Powerfull batsman with a great temperament for late in the innings. Big hearted left arm pace bowler.
"Jock" Cameron: Quick scoring batsman and fine keeper.
Harold Larwood: Notably accurate fast bowler who could move the old ball around. No mug with the bat.
Hedley Verity: Bradman rated him the most difficult bowler he played against because "there was no breaking point with him". Ideal mentalityfor the game. Decent late order batsman.

England XI:
Hobbs
MacLaren/Stoddart
Hammond
Compton
Jessop
Crawford (very good FM bowler - hard hitting batsman)
Hirst
Evans
Tate
Larwood
Verity

Didn't know that...we should probably make Manjrekar keep in that case:

Vijay Merchant
Vijay Hazare
Vijay Manjrekar+
ML Jaisimha
MAK Pataudi*
CK Nayudu
Lala Amarnath
Subhash Gupte
Amar Singh
Mohammad Nissar

Edit: Just noticed 3 Vijay's at nos. 2-4. Awesome
