[GuyFromLancs]

Batsman - KP - rewatched his 149 against SA today. Just, Wow!

Bowler - Swann, for giving England, and spin in general, such a boost!

Fielder - Anderson, so good for a paceman. Makes you question his lack of batting skill

 

[GuyFromLancs]

Allrounder - Broad. That guy can seriously bat once in.

Captain - i hate to say it, but Graeme Smith

Keeper - Prior has clearly worked damn hard to be a "real" keeper

Some great choices, especially in the all time category I'd like to say about the Don's captaincy. I know a long time ago I used to think his captaincy can't have been that great because he was such a good batsman he didn't need to be a great strategist or anything. But he was very smart about the way he captained, and lead the guys too, like when he came out in 36/37 and made that 270 in Melbourne,
And his counterpoint in the invincibles side, Miller. An allrounder in so many ways. Used as a genuine batsman and a genuine bowler. Decent fielder too.Great cricketer for the spirit he played the game in as well.

[hendrix]
