Could you do a batting list like this too, please?

 

[vcs]

Asif and Steyn on that list.

 

[Teja.]

Asif and Steyn on that list.

Asif's average is even more freakish if we consider the amount of chances dropped off him.

 

[smash84]

Asif's average is even more freakish if we consider the amount of chances dropped off him.

And that he has been bowling in the 2000s, which has been a very batsman friendly era.What a waste of talent.

I was referring to an already standardized average tbh.

And that he has been bowling in the 2000s, which has been a very batsman friendly era.What a waste of talent.

The average I posted has already been adjusted to take that into account. His scorebook average is a little bit higher.

 

[Prince EWS]

Could you do a batting list like this too, please?

Yeah when I've finished it. Was gonna start a thread when I'd done both but I couldn't help leaking little bits all over the place.

Haha, You've lost all copy-allegation rights from next time.

I seriously did do that one on purpose though.

oops.....silly me......these were standardized

 

[smash84]

Will ESPN cricinfo stop messing around and finally release the All Time XI????? They are coming with up left handers XI and nice guy XIs and everything. x

They seem to be going over board with all sorts of XIs coming up. By the time they will have come up with their world XI a lot of the followers will have lost interest I suppose.

Substitute Imran for Wasim and I'm happy with The World XI.

 

[ankitj]

Cricinfo's World XI is same as Harsha's at the end! How criminally Hadlee has been overlooked even from a second XI. And there are IMO 3-4 better contenders than Lillee in the first XI.

 

[ankitj]

And second XI easily has a superior bowling attack with 5 top class bowlers as opposed to 4 in the first XI.

Well, just have a glance at the jury, and you know Lille and Warne were given (nothing against them being selected, though). Still, I'm pretty shocked at Warne being a unanimous choice.

Yeah, Hadlee not being selected even in the second XI looks pathetic to me ...Barnes deserved a place in the first XI too, IMO.

Nothing against the batting lineup, though. I personally would have preferred Hammond over Richards, but that's not a complain at all; can't be.

 

[smash84]

And second XI easily has a superior bowling attack with 5 top class bowlers as opposed to 4 in the first XI.

The World XI: Jack Hobbs, Len Hutton, Don Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar, Viv Richards, Garry Sobers, Adam Gilchrist, Malcolm Marshall, Shane Warne, Wasim Akram, Dennis Lillee

The Second XI: Sunil Gavaskar, Barry Richards, George Headley, Brian Lara, Wally Hammond, Imran Khan, Alan Knott, Bill O'Reilly, Fred Trueman, Muttiah Muralitharan, SF Barnes

Readers' XI: Sunil Gavaskar, Virender Sehwag, Don Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Garry Sobers, Adam Gilchrist, Shane Warne, Wasim Akram, Muttiah Muralitharan, Glenn McGrath


I still can't believe they took in Wasim and left out Imran..............The All time XI attack is quite weak really........the second XI bowling attack looks stronger.

 

[bagapath]

it is very similar to the team ESPN Legends of Cricket XI with hutton coming in for gavaskar.

hutton
hobbs
bradman
tendulkar
richards
sobers
gilchrist
akram
marshall
warne
lillee

looks awesome. but really cant accept akram over mcgrath, barnes, hadlee and imran. guess they wanted the variety wasim could bring in to the attack.
