ICC Greatest Test Team

[weldone]

Bradman was an all-bowling bully

lol sutcliffe ahead of gav and hammond (who!) ahead of srt

Hobbs and Hutton are so overrated.Just scoring runs at snails pace and remaining not out and boosting average is what they did throughout their career.

Sehwag averages same as them against the best bowlers of last decade with a ridiculous strike rate. Just because he doesn't have SIR title , doesn't mean he is not great.Not a single Indian batsmen average 50 last decade against best bowlers.

Sehwag is not rated on this forum because he is not English.

Here is the average of Gilchrist against those bowlers. Most over rated batsman of all time is Adam Gilchrist. Averages less than Dhoni.Gilchrist was a weak bowling bully

you mean he is the one who revealed McGrath the great cheater to the world

Nah that was a different guy actually.

We've banned about 15 different satyam variations of late though.

He seems to have created a triangular-shaped clone this time using wireless internet inside an igloo, though

A genuine question btw, can a regular poster get banned for abusing such meaningless trolls/clones?

How do you find out? If it is based on email account/IP address, can't you block him permanently from signing up?

 

[smash84]

traingle has been banned too ........must be cursing inside his igloo

 

[smash84]

poor guy he has been banned 15 times and he just loves CW so much he comes back every time

Yeah. Whether or not someone is an obvious troll, we don't really want to see outright abuse from senior members. If you think someone is a clear duplicate or obvious troll then just don't reply to them and report the posts instead to bring them to our attention.

post reported.

 

[Austerlitz]

I went

Gavaskar
Hobbs
Bradman[c]
Tendulkar
Richards
Sobers
Gilchrist
Marshall
Ambrose
Warne
Lillee

No mcgrath coz ambrose and mcgrath very similar i would have ambrose in tests by the slightest margin.
Also disturbed at the fast bowlers nominees not containing andy roberts and joel garner.And waqar.While trueman is there.

 

[smash84]

Trueman was bloody awesome tbh

 

[Cevno]

Really tough to select these teams as i want some 20 players in atleast and there isn't much to choose between them.

But i would go for -

Sir Leonard Hutton
Sunil Gavaskar
Sir Donald Bradman
Sachin Tendulkar
Brian Lara
Adam Gilchrist
Imran Khan
Richard Hadlee
Shane Warne
Curtly Ambrose
Muttiah Muralitharan

Except Murali,Bradman,Sachin,Gilchrist and perhaps Imran other selections are all interchangeable and very close depending on the mood at the time

 

[smash84]

bloody hell.............I just went in to give in my selection....only to find out that the voting has closed

I was about to go and make a very similar team as yours Cevno

 

[Himannv]

I'll be watching you. If Barnes makes it to any of your AT Teams until 31/12/2011, you'll have hell to answer for.

Ok, you guys got me there. Will admit to completely forgetting about Barnes and picking Trueman purely based on the fact that I was lamenting missing out on him in the Scorecard draft around about the same time.

 

[Cevno]

Oh!! Forgot about the Scorecard Draft .

Need to edit in Barnes,Miller and Border into my All Time team now to help HYPE
