The choice is unbelievably rich and difficult for someone who likes elegant batsmen (rarely do any of them average above 50 ;)) Personal choice here, not claiming it's the 'best' or that it's 'balanced' etc. Only chose those have experience of watching, thus Aussie bias.

50 and 25 seems rather lenient now. What's the best you can do with batsmen who averaged under 40 and bowlers who averaged over 30 (35 for spinners)?

All about the all-rounders.

Thought that having 19th Century players was kind of cheating.

Pace attack is clearly the strongpoint, hope Jimmy does not qualify for much longer though,

Under 50 and Over 25 XI:

W G Grace | Victor Trumper | Stan McCabe | Rohan Kanhai | Neil Harvey | Frank Worrell (c) | Adam Gilchrist (w) | Andy Roberts | Harold Larwood | John Snow | Erapalli Prasanna |

Closest: Gordon Greenidge, Arthur Morris, Inzamam ul-Haq, Clive Lloyd, Peter May, Kevin Pietersen, Ian Botham, Kapil Dev, Wes Hall, Abdul Qadir

Under 40 and Over 30 XI:

Victor Trumper | Arthur Shrewsbury | Clem Hill | Warwick Armstrong | Frank Woolley | Jack Gregory | Ravi Shastri | Alan Knott (w) | Brett Lee | Learie Constantine | James Anderson |

The only spinners available were Tufnell, Venkataraghavan and Ray Price. So, I went for Ravi Shastri who bowled useful left arm spin. This side is full of all-rounders as you can see.

Closest: Marvan Attapattu, Majid Khan, Ian Healy, Alec Stewart, Jacob Oram

Hardly any mentions of one M D Crowe. Continues to be criminally underrated on this forum. Surely better than the likes of Damien Martyn considering when he played and the bowling attacks he faced. He was basically the best batsman in the world in the 10 year period between 1985 - 1995 and should be a dead-cert in the under 50s team IMHO.

This is the best time to mix and match. Batsmen from the 19th century and bowlers of much more recent lineage.

Good time to show some love for WG, Trumper, Ranji etc

  1. Grace
  2. Trumper
  3. Ranji
  4. McCabe
  5. Worrell
  6. Faulkner
  7. Kapil Dev
  8. Gregory
  9. Knott
  10. Larwood
  11. Warne

Is Keith Miller a cheat if he batting in the top 6?

I thought about Miller too; I basically decided that it was okay to select him as long as he didn't bowl at all in the game. And I decided there were better batsmen to pick.

Who would you replace out of McCabe, Kanhai, Harvey, Worrell with Crowe?

I like this team. I'd make one change though - MS Dhoni for Knott, and move him to 7.

Shane Warne would be a better option for above 25 average than Abdul Qadir. Abdul Qadir can fit into the above 30 category.
