I've had enough, Virat Kohli.......

Big daddy Kane was recently the number 1 draft pick in the CW draft. Steady the ship williamson is therefore not only the best batsman but best player in the world.

Any links to this team anyone?

This was on Warne's Facebook with the text as well…

This morning @skysports asked Athers, Ramiz & myself to pick two world 11's ! 90's/00's & a Current one. This was the consensus after our selection meeting. Thoughts ? Agree / Disagree ? The two unlucky players to miss out in my opinion are Amla & Williamson. This is also a squad, the final 11 would be picked depending on conditions.

Yup, fairly decent record in the last 3 years has this Williams kid Batting records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo

lol @ picking Sangakkara in a 90's side. Does Shane Warne not remember the 99 SL series?

 

[Flem274*]

who wants to tell them sangakkara debuted in 2000?

His 90s world XI is weirder than the current on IMO.

it's because of his potential to be a better allrounder than hadlee if he takes wickets and is a good captain

Plenty of comments about that on FB

 

[morgieb]

Also how predictable is Steve Waugh missing the 90's side?

 

[anil1405]

Gilly in that side would've made 2% more sense considering he played a handful of tests in the last few months of the 90's.

 

[OverratedSanity]

The 90s world XI including Sanga, not including Steve Waugh and the current XI having no Steyn and Broad are far more egregious errors than having kohli in there.

 

[Daemon]

No Kiwis in either squad, man this needs to be brought to Fiery's attention

 

[Adders]

i don't care for virat kohli but it's hard to get worked up about a team compiled by a bunch of old english blokes.

world elevens without dale steyn dont count, so i don't think small country syndrome is needed here.

Shane Warne??

Don't know who else was involved but those teams have Warne written all over em.

Atherton and Ramiz Raja apparently. The latter is a bit of an idiot and given we know Warne loves an agenda, he probably had a lot of influence in picking the side.

 

[Burgey]

Can't be given that Stokes is there

Perhaps it was meant for domestic english consumption.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

The side was a 90's/2000's side. The slip of paper it's written on doesn't say the 00's.

FWIW my world XI (tests) would be:

Warner
Cook
Williamson
Root
Smith
Matthews
Ashwin
Nevill +
Starc
Anderson
Steyn

And my 90s team would be:

Gooch
Taylor
Lara
Tendulkar
S.Waugh
Inzamam
Healy +
Akram
Warne
Ambrose
Waqar

It says "90s World XI"

 

[Burgey]

How would Starc get into a world test XI? Don't get me wrong, I rate him but he's hardly been a consistent test performer as yet.

Could replace him with Broad, but I'd go with Starc right now if I was actually selecting a team to win in almost any conditions. Guy is on fire atm
