Number 6 is next up. This will be interesting to see the type of player people go for.

Voting runs until this time tomorrow.

 

[Jono]

First difference to Richie's XI I believe.

Anyway Sobers.

 

[Deja moo]

Sobers here too.

 

[Dasa]

Sobers.

 

[SJS]

Sobers

 

[Dissector]

Sobers. The easiest pick after Bradman.

Forgot to vote for 3,4,5. I am fine with Sachin and Lara though I would have given serious consideration to Hammond for his bowling.

 

[33/3from3.3]

G sobers

Hammond would be highly unlikely to bowl in a world XI any way.

 

[aussie]

sobers for sure..

 

[archie mac]

Kieth Miller, hands down a better bowler than Sobers, just as good in the field, and if he did not have to open the bowling would have finished with an average of 50+

Although I am happy for Sobers to win the spot

 

[andyc]

Garry Sobers for me

"Hammond would be highly unlikely to bowl in a world XI any way."
Maybe. However I would probably pick both Murali and Warne along with two quicks. So an extra medium pace option apart from Sobers might still be useful.

 

[adharcric]

Sobers without doubt.

 

[C_C]

Sir Gary Sobers.

 

[a massive zebra]

Hammond.

 

[C_C]

Hammond.

While i dont intend to dispute your choice, i was wondering, since Sobers isnt selected yet (and neither has a wicket-keeper), do you intend on leaving Sobers out or go with Sobers as the allrounder fulfilling the role of the 4th bowler ?

 

[Jdz]

Ricky Ponting, averages 56 (I think), consistantly scores a good amount of runs.

Yeah after Sobers gets picked we still need a keeper and 4 bowlers so it will be interesting to see who is going to get in.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Allan Border. Adds a bit of grit to an otherwise glitzy () lineup. Without a doubt put the highest price on his wicket of any batsman in the modern era. Could roll his arm over too (Bowling average only 5 more than Sobers!).

Could roll his arm over too (Bowling average only 5 more than Sobers!).

Surely you dont think that Border was a comparable bowler to Sobers........
