All-Time World XIs: Discussion Thread

Which XI has Woakes?

Woakes is in charge of making these XI's.

 

[subshakerz]

maybe the first XI should've been

McGrath/Hadlee
Marshall
Imran
Warne
Sobers

Yes. It makes the most logical sense.

If you want the most bowling value pick McGrath, the most batting value pick Hadlee.

Never happened before in CW.

I'm the Bradman of thread makers

 

[sayon basak]

Steyn had a great outswinger

Probably the best ever.

 

[subshakerz]

Forget higher levels, McGrath to me is a better cricketer than Imran.

McGrath rose to the occasion and elevated his team to the best ever in the moments that mattered.

Back to this nonsense glorification.

 

[Thala_0710]

Probably the best ever.

Who has the best inswinger ever?

 

[subshakerz]

Probably the best ever.

The most dangerous truly.

 

[subshakerz]

Who has the best inswinger ever?

Imran. Then Donald.

 

[sayon basak]

Who has the best inswinger ever?

Anderson's inswinger snaked back in, though not sure he had the best ever inswinger. Waqar Younis/Imran are good shouts probably.

 

[Johan]

Trueman and Steyn the best ever at outswingers, Imran and Donald at inswingers

 

[Thala_0710]

Imran. Then Donald.

Yeah I'd go Imran as well. Not sure of Donald at 2 but he's up there

Really sickening reading through the recent pages of this thread. You guys have outdone yourselves and not in a good way. Surprised the mods didn’t step in and say anything.

What I imagine a cricket “discussion” on X would read like.

Sorry this atrocity occurred in relation to your great exercise @capt_Luffy

Anderson's inswinger snaked back in, though not sure he had the best ever inswinger. Waqar Younis/Imran is a good shout probably.

Waqar didn't inswing as much without reverse. Imran was very much natural and much more accurate with it.

 

[Johan]

Bond had a great inswinger but meh, achieved nothing.

 

[DrWolverine]

Donald. Holding. Lillee.
It would be a great attack.
An aggressive attack.

Please stop blaming everyone.

I'd put Bumrah over Holding and Steyn would get in ofc, seeing as he's missing out currently

 

[Johan]

I personally think Donald and Steyn will open in third XI assuming Steyn loses here

 

[sayon basak]

He doesn't want to mention names.

Donald vs Lillee vs Bumrah is my guess
