All-Time World XIs: Discussion Thread

[subshakerz]

I hated having to pick between two overrated hacks but your arguments for Viv are actually making me want to change my vote to Smith.

Lol so fickle. Stick with your guns.

 

[ataraxia]

I just can't believe that a vote on the CW all-time XI could become so heated.

Man, I don't care for Smith vs Viv, and was actually thinking of switching to Viv (mostly for fielding and slightly better to pace), but now I really really want Smith to win.

The actual most surprising thing is Warne won peacefully over Murali

That shows how serious folks here thinks about these things.

I actually announced it on, Sunday I think (was supposed to be on Wednesday, instead did Thursday). Just didn't thought of making a wholeass thread declaring so.

Yup exactly... Everyone who's regularly active and followed the country XIs knew quite a lot of time ago as well...
Also we have got good numbers in voting already... About 25+ voters each round so far... Which is much more than other such exercises

Stay firm. Don't let others play with your emotions.

He will. Most Murali fans in their hearts know Warne looks better on an ATG sheet.

If @ankitj re votes for Smith within this combo, they'll be tied up again

I register my protest by not voting

Sobers doesn't have to take wickets though, just make sure he bowls enough overs economically so others can be rested, and also he made a bunny out of Geoffrey Boycott who is one of the greatest technicians of all time, so clearly he can dismiss good bats too

Context as well.

Most of his bowling was in the dog overs of either spin, or pace with the old ball to defensive fields, getting over to the new ball.

His job here, come on 2nd change, swing it about a bit till Warne is ready, then (for my XI) split time with the old ball with Wasim opposite Warne to keep the openers fresh for the second cherry if needed.

Nobody is appealing to his emotions, he is just emotional.

I feel it was going to be close between these two duos anyways, any of them could have won. Them actually drawing was the slightly surprising part.

Nah this sentence slaps harder than my chemistry exam today. Damn.

You can protest while voting too though.

You are going to wait until 3rd change to bring in Warne?

No wonder you can't rate captaincy.

How was it? All the best in your exams brother.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Ftr, I absolutely am enjoying this and not really sure who I have in my AT team between Viv and Smith

 

[sayon basak]

Good that you didn't say this in CW.

 

[sayon basak]

Yeah, It was decent. Thank you very much.
