For my own benefit here's my team with stats
1.Bill Woodfull 2300 runs @ 46
2.Matthew Hayden 8625 runs @ 50.73
3.Graeme Pollock 2256 runs @ 60.97
4.Sachin Tendulkar 14513 runs @ 56.91 , 44 wickets @ 53.93
5.Stanley Jackson 1415 runs @ 48.79 , 24 wickets @ 33.29
6.Warwick Armstrong* 2863 runs @ 38.68 , 87 wickets @ 33.59
7.Mahendra Dhoni+ 2869 runs @ 40.98 , 138 catches, 25 stumpings
8.Peter Pollock 607 runs @ 21.67 , 116 wickets @ 24.18
9.Clarrie Grimmett 557 runs @ 13.92 , 216 wickets @ 24.21
10.Curtly Ambrose 1439 runs @ 12.40 , 405 wickets @ 20.99
11.Neil Adcock 146 runs @ 5.40 , 104 wickets @ 21.10
12.Hugh Tayfield 862 runs @ 16.90 , 170 wickets @ 25.91
About the only criticism that can be made about my team is that the captain is the worst player. Of course, when that player is an Aussie legend it says plenty about the players around him.

Are we going to have a voting thread for this? So many great teams, it'd be difficult to pick an outright winner IMO.

I'd like to exercise my perceived inability to see the game in context beyond the statistics of it and raise you 853 FC wickets @ 14.95 tbh.

So I raise you 1841 wickets @ 13.73 and 993 wickets @ 14.25. Might as well throw in 1944@18.41 for good measure.I'd like to exercise my perceived inability to see the game in context beyond the statistics of it and raise you 853 FC wickets @ 14.95 tbh.

Finally got down to putting up the stats. On the whole exceedingly happy with this side.
01. Arthur Morris - 3533 @ 46.48
02. Bill Lawry - 5234 @ 47.15
03. Frank Worrell(vc) - 3860 @ 49.48 | 69 @ 38.72
04. Martin Crowe - 5444 @ 45.36
05. Stan McCabe - 2748 @ 48.21
06. Andy Flower+ - 4794 @ 51.54 | 151 ct, 9 st
07. Richie Benaud(c) - 2201 @ 24.45 | 248 @ 27.03
08. Wasim Akram - 2898 @ 22.64 | 414 @ 23.62
09. Harold Larwood - 78 @ 28.35
10. Hedley Verity - 144 @ 24.37
11. Bill O'Reilly - 144 @ 22.59
12. Phil Mead - 1185 @ 49.37
Pros:
- Great captaincy options.
- Team bats deep
- Has three top quality spinners who are all different to each other.
- Few decent backup bowlers.
- Quite a good 12th man and can easily slot in without impacting the quality of the side much.
- Solid openers.
Cons:
- Lacks a third seamer of top drawer quality. Will have to rely on Worrell to provide backup here.

7. Kapil Dev [RHB/RFM] - 5248 @ 31.05 / 434 @ 29.64
8. Alan Knott [WK] [RHB] - 4389 @ 32.75 / Catches - 250 Stumpings - 19
9. Shakib Al Hasan [LHB/SLA] - 1179 @ 31.02 / 75 @ 32.13
10. Dale Steyn [RF] - 217 @ 23.77
11. Joel Garner [RF] - 259 @ 20.97
12. Jack Iverson [LS] - 21 @ 15.23
Iverson to slot in for Garner on a raging turner. Possibly.
Pros:
Bat stupidly deep.
Quality fast bowling.
Captains all over the shop from teams of different strengths to provide input.
Cons:
I've no idea who takes the new ball in this attack.
Just over 2,000 runs combined between the top 3, and Alan Knott being the third highest run scorer in the team suggest a relative inexperience.
