    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    I’m not arguing that Lyon isn’t good. Just wondered why someone would rank him above Benaud

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Genuine question, based on what?

    The Most Overrated cricketer in the world is Cameron Green

    He’s not overrated by Australians at all. Most of us can see he’s got talent but we’re waiting to see if that translates into test success.

    *Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

    Re selection for Australia moving ahead, I’m with Gob on K Patterson getting an extended run. He’s a class batsman and I think he’d adapt to opening. I’ve been a fan for years. I think Khawaja is done and I’d send Marnus back to the shield and tell him to just make runs if he wants to play...

    *Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

    What id like is: Konstas Khawaja Smith Inglis Head Webster Carey Cummins Starc Lyon Hazelwood I don’t care which of the fast bowlers they select, Boland can come in for any of them. Green can come into the team when Khawaja retires (which should be soon). Webster is what we need at 6 right...

    Australia's Best ODI team of all time

    Not imo but I won’t argue if you’d prefer that. If Watson opens I’ll happily slide M Waugh down the order

    Australia's Best ODI team of all time

    I don’t think I can find a spot for him. Great player though. M Waugh Gilchrist Ponting Jones Watson Symonds Hussey Warne Starc Lee McGrath

    Would you have both Warne and O'Reilly in your ATG XI?

    In these mythical scenarios it’s probably only really Pak and NZ who have better tails, with Imran and Wasim, and Hadlee and Vettori respectively. Depending on who you select, SA can be pretty strong too in lower order batting

    Your ATG team pace bowling trio

    Imagine Garner/McGrath/Bumrah as a trio

    Would you have both Warne and O'Reilly in your ATG XI?

    If your team contains one of either Davidson or Lindwall (or to a slightly lesser extent Cummins) this point is irrelevant, but either way Warne is fine at 8, and in this mythical scenario you know Warne will rise to the occasion because that’s what he was like. But if your main contention is...

    Would you have both Warne and O'Reilly in your ATG XI?

    It’d benefit you to do some actual reading about the era Tallon played in, the team he played in, the match positions he batted in…

    Would you have both Warne and O'Reilly in your ATG XI?

    I have no real issue with this selecting non openers who were better bats than the available openers, but I reckon either Ponting or Chappell would go better than Smith at the top, allowing Smith to slide into the middle order

    Would you have both Warne and O'Reilly in your ATG XI?

    My Australian XIs are currently something like: A Morris B Simpson D Bradman G Chappell K Miller N Harvey/A Border/R Ponting A Gilchrist S Warne D Lillee B OReilly G McGrath or A Morris B Simpson D Bradman G Chappell N Harvey/A Border/R Ponting N Harvey/A Border/R Ponting A Gilchrist A...

    Create an all time best Test XI using only one player from each country...

    cos I’m bored I’ll pick one without using your players L Hutton T Iqbal K Sangakkara S Tendulkar V Richards M Crowe T Taibu + W Akram R Khan D Steyn G McGrath Could trade Crowe for Cairns if you wanted a genuine all rounder. Or sub Streak in for Taibu and let Sanga keep wickets

    Would you have both Warne and O'Reilly in your ATG XI?

    If you include Miller in your top 6/7 then you include OReilly imo

    Would Botham make it to your England ATG XI?

    The thing is, if you can pick peak Botham, he makes it as a pace bowling all rounder. His first six or so years with the ball were phenomenal. So if you can have that Botham: Hobbs Hutton Hammond May Barrington Gower Botham Knott Larwood Trueman Laker
