Bradman gives Australia the advantage.

Kallis and Hammond probably should swap batting positions. Same with Headley and Viv. Sobers and Walcott too

Not the XIs I would use a d that greatly impacts any decision of which had an advantage.

 

[DrWolverine]

If we are choosing Jack Hobbs in ROW, I am taking Sydney Barnes instead of Akram in my team.

 

[DrWolverine]

My ROW team
Jack Hobbs
Len Hutton
Ken Barrington
Sachin Tendulkar
Jacques Kallis
Kumara Sangakkara
Imran Khan
Richard Hadlee
Sydney Barnes
Dale Steyn
Muttiah Muralitharan

 

[kyear2]

I don't know, if we're going to do these kinds of matchups, I kinda like to keep it relatively equal, like an Ashes XI, vs. Asia XI, vs a ROW XI.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Knott has to be in the ROW XI

Steyn > Donald

 

[DrWolverine]

Steyn > Donald

True

I forgot about him completely

 

[DrWolverine]

A huge advantage for the ROW team is the English greats in the first 100 years of cricket - Hobbs, Sutcliffe, Hammond, Barrington, Barnes

 

[Johan]

ROW XI imo

Hobbs
Sutcliffe/Gavaskar
Hutton*
Hammond
Tendulkar
Kallis
Sangakkara+
Imran
Hadlee
Tiger O'Reilly
Barnes
Muralitharan

would back this team to beat Windies, two ATG spinners, Two legendary medium/medium-fast and then Imran with the old ball

 

[Coronis]

ROW XI imo

Hobbs
Sutcliffe/Gavaskar
Hutton*
Hammond
Tendulkar
Kallis
Sangakkara+
Imran
Hadlee
Tiger O'Reilly
Barnes
Muralitharan

would back this team to beat Windies, two ATG spinners, Two legendary medium/medium-fast and then Imran with the old ball

So O’Reilly makes the XI cos he didn’t make your Australian one?

 

[Johan]

So O’Reilly makes the XI cos he didn’t make your Australian one?

Yeah

 

[Thala_0710]

ROW XI imo

Hobbs
Sutcliffe/Gavaskar
Hutton*
Hammond
Tendulkar
Kallis
Sangakkara+
Imran
Hadlee
Tiger O'Reilly
Barnes
Muralitharan

would back this team to beat Windies, two ATG spinners, Two legendary medium/medium-fast and then Imran with the old ball

I mean with 12 players, they probably should yeah

 

[Johan]

I mean with 12 players, they probably should yeah

kick out O'Reilly

 

[Thala_0710]

Hobbs
Hutton
Grace
Tendulkar
Hammond
Kallis
Sangakkara+
Imran*
Hadlee
Barnes
Murali

 

[Johan]

I think Hammond would get pretty pissed if you ask him to bat behind sachin

 

[Thala_0710]

I think Hammond would get pretty pissed if you ask him to bat behind sachin

Maybe we'd be better off a with pissed Hammond. Anyway, he's not batting ahead of Tendulkar at 4 for me

 

[Johan]

could bowl as fast as Farnes when angry apparently.

 

[Thala_0710]

could bowl as fast as Farnes when angry apparently.

Exactly. Although we already have Grace and Kallis so we probably wouldn't need him
