Dual draft thread. Drafting the best pre WW2 and post WW2 team(so it'l be 22 rounds)

[OverratedSanity]

Classic

Herbert Sutcliffe
Bruce Mitchell
Maurice Leyland
Lindsay Hasset
Martin Donnelly
George Ulyett (5)
Dick Lilley(wk)
Harold Larwood (1)
Jack Cowie (2)
Mohammad Nissar (3)
Tich Freeman (4)

Modern

Alastair Cook
Vinoo Mankad (5)
Viv Richards
Zaheer Abbas
Kevin Pietersen
Michael Clarke (c)
Ian Healy (wk)
Mitchell Johnson (4)
Andy Roberts (2)
Shoaib Akhtar (3)
Fred Trueman (1)

s'alright, could've done better. Classic team is pretty sweet, with an awesome top 6 and really powerful bowling attack of Larwood - Cowie - Nissar-Freeman.

Modern team isn't the strongest, but if not the best, it's at least going to be fun to watch with a theme of explosiveness all through the lineup except for the openers. Viv, KP, Abbas, Clarke all capable of tearing an attack apart and Trueman, Roberts, Akhtar and Johnson are basically four of the fastest and most intimidating bowlers to have ever played the game. Overall, not as good as several other teams though.

IMO, Agent TBY should run away with it. Both his XIs are incredible.
