U19 12th Man
Yet another select-a-team thread.
Pick an all time All rounders Test XI, with the provisio that it must include players from atleast 7 test nations, and no more than 2 from any single nation, including the keeper.
To be eligible, players must have taken atleast 100 career wickets at less than 35 runs apiece and scored atleast 1000 career runs at more than 30 runs per completed innings. No statistical eligibility criterea for the keeper.
How would they fare against the present day World Champions?
My attempt:
MH Mankad
TL Goddard
AW Greig
JH Kallis
GS Sobers
K Sangakkara +
IT Botham
KR Miller
I Khan
NK Dev
CL Cairns
Miller and Imran to open the bowling, follwed by Botham and Kapil. Mankad to provide the spin option, backed up by Sobers.
