Don't see the point if he's not in the first XI tbh.

Don't think that's right, feel anything to 3rd or 4th XI should be acceptable.

 

[Thala_0710]

Actually he already lost it after Grace missed the XI and have said he doesn't wants Grace to make any team. Legit threatened me to not vote Grace.

That's very @Johan of him then

 

[Thala_0710]

I don't really care. I actually want him to not make the XI's.

Yeah this is fun to watch... As I predicted

 

[capt_Luffy]

Man Grace and Imran should be the XI, y'all suck.

Lara too but we move

 

[capt_Luffy]

Lara too but we move

Lara, Viv, Smith, Hutton all similar. But like Grace is Grace and Imran is a better player and adds extra skillset to the team.

 

[Thala_0710]

Grace would mp get voted in the third XI, after the 4 ATG openers are done...
Imagine Grace and Barry get voted together

 

[capt_Luffy]

Will be interesting which 3 of Steyn, Ambrose and Barnes will make the XI.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Gavaskar
Sutcliffe
Hammond
Smith
Lara
Kallis
Knott
Imran
Ambrose
Barnes
Murali

 

[subshakerz]

Why?

Don't think we should do second round votes.

 

[Thala_0710]

*which 2, I'm assuming Imran will surely make it

 

[DrWolverine]

Grace. Barry. Headley. Pollock. Barnes.
They should all be in one team.

 

[subshakerz]

Hobbs, Hutton, Bradman, Tendulkar, Richards, Sobers, Gilchrist, Hadlee, Marshall, Warne, McGrath

Well at least Viv made it. But not an ideal attack

 

[Thala_0710]

Grace. Barry. Headley. Pollock. Barnes.
They should all be in one team.

O'Reilly too

I voted him.

 

[Thala_0710]

I voted him.

Now it's a bit less fun... Who'd have thought you'd be more sensible

 

[subshakerz]

Yeah all the top batters and top bowlers, by ranking, have made it.

Half of us would have liked someone like Imran/Akram as the 3rd seamer but Marshall, Hadlee and McGrath are undoubtedly CW's top 3 bowlers.

That is what makes it redundant.

We should have voted as per the position in batting order. I think it would have been more interesting if we are asked to vote for Hadlee or Imran for the no.8 spot.

 

[subshakerz]

Man Grace and Imran should be the XI, y'all suck.

Imran definitely should have been. Grace will always divide people.

It's kinda crazy that CW considers Imran the 3rd best cricketer of all time yet can't vote him in an ATG XI.

Good point, I could see myself voting Imran there and Imran potentially winning that battle as well

Think he should be in the 2nd or 3rd XI.
