    What is your ALL TIME WORLD XI TEAM for tests?

    Among the pre 90s guys I am sure guys like Lillee / Sobers / Marshall / Graeme Pollock / Joel Garner / Holding / Roberts type guys have the speed/height/Built/Skills etc etc to adapt to the modern era but when you go back to the 20s or 30s then those guys did not have the physical frames or...

    What is your ALL TIME WORLD XI TEAM for tests?

    I too like the theory of adjusting for inflation but then we should be sure whoever we are adjusting for inflation is worthy. The farther we go it becomes more and more difficult to adjust for inflation. Taking example from other sports (Tennis). GOAT of the 90s Pete Sampras did not have a...

    What is your ALL TIME WORLD XI TEAM for tests?

    McGrath was a greater bowler than Hadlee, more bounce, equal at control of runs and a greater ability to bowl in the corridor of uncertainty where a batsman cannot decide whether to attack or defend. Plus McGrath has also bowled to more dangerous batsmen in a period where pitches were batsmanf...

    What is your ALL TIME WORLD XI TEAM for tests?

    Why is Dennis Lillee not a part of most teams here? Globally everyone considers him the demon of pace and the golden standard of bowling but here teams omit him, why ? Is it because of his record outside Aus-Eng?

    Thats a nice side. Perhaps Akram in place of Imran would give a leftie flavor?

    What is your ALL TIME WORLD XI TEAM for tests?

    But Hobbs never faced Larwood/Tyson type guys, he is too ancient and from a time when pacers were like medium pacers now or maybe of spinner level .... like anil kumble .... haha

    What is your ALL TIME WORLD XI TEAM for tests?

    Lol premier batsmen ? Chandercrawl was always second grade compared to Lara. Kallis was a boring speciman, I think ABDV was rated ahead of him for many years, lol Flower? yes, but then his team was crap. Hobbs and Hammons are dinosaurs....they never have faced bowlers as fast as the current...

    What is your ALL TIME WORLD XI TEAM for tests?

    He wanted a team which can just draw matches. Lol, if he wanted to bore spectators then he could have picked Hobbs - Geoff Borecott - Cook - Kallis - Borington - Chandercrawl - Goddard

    Of course, they are the best 5 batsmen ever. If they can't then your batsmen would do worse. Filling your team with sheet anchors won't ensure a draw, they would all get dismissed by the ATG bowlers, sheet anchors are mostly inferior to the fluid batsmen, thats why they are asked to hold one...

    What is your ALL TIME WORLD XI TEAM for tests?

    Gavaskar (used to open for India and score double hundreds) - Good luck going past him Richards-Bradman-Lara-Sachin and Sobers ..... You will have at least 3 of these guys hitting 100s every match. Gilchrist added then more runs .... Thats a solid 400-500 runs every innings.

    Nd what about Garfield Sobers at 6 ? You think any bowler will go past him ? He is the second greatest batsman after Bradman

    What is your ALL TIME WORLD XI TEAM for tests?

    Richards, Bradman, Sachin, Lara and Sobers are widely regarded as the 5 best batsmen. If not them then why ? Your batsmen would do worse Adam Gilchrist is the great number 7 ever, so many matches he has bailed out his teammates from 92/5 or 102/6 type situations, the guy is a demon for the...

    What is your ALL TIME WORLD XI TEAM for tests?

    Hobbs played like 1000 years back, he is more ancient than dinosaurs. Hutton also played too long ago, cricket has evolved a lot since then, bowlers bowl in 150 kmph range now and asian teams have spinners of quality that these guys never played against, neither did they play on the...

    What is your ALL TIME WORLD XI TEAM for tests?

    That wouldn't matter Richards, Bradman, Lara, Sachin and Sobers are enough to put at least 500+ on the board, lol But in your team with Hadley (37) and Kallis (41) vs Aus would be a problem, too much pressure of Sir Wally Hammond, that too in a team which would face 3 aussie bowlers...

    What is your ALL TIME WORLD XI TEAM for tests?

    Too much Pressure on Sir Walter Hammond to steady the middle order.
