The Tiger King
Hang on to your panties cricketwebers or order boxers of steel. This is....
Screw You CWers XI
Herbert Sutcliffe: 4555 runs @ 60.73. This guy is a legend and rightly so. One of the greatest openers ever to play the game and quite under appreciated because he wasn't so glamorous. But his average tells you just how effective he was. He would make the bowlers sweat in their underwear due to excessive toiling. Just try and get him out LBW. So. Who's yo daddy?
Sid Barnes: 1072 runs @ 63.05. You read that right. That is 63 and not a typo. Would have possibly gone on to become the greatest opener ever (only Sutcliffe would have possibly beaten him) but the 6 year WWII interlude cut short a wonderful career. Mind you on the 1948 tour to England he scored runs at an average of 82.25. This guy once broke a wrist at the beginning of the season and still made runs at an average of 42.25 in 19 innings. He was the ****.
Rahul Dravid: 12616 runs @ 52.56. One of the modern greats of the game and at his best not even Geoff Boycott's mum could go through his defences. Known as the Wall for good reason. India's best ever number 3 batsman and won many matches for India and rescued in countless others.
Joe Hardstaff: 1636 runs @ 46.74 One of the most graceful batsmen ever to grace the cricket field. WWII cut sort a promising career. Thankfully so otherwise he would have given the opposition a real nightmare when his staff was hard
Ted Dexter: 4502 runs @ 47.99 66 wickets @ 34.93. One of the finest players of fast bowling EVER, and I mean EVER to play the game. Decent bowler too. Lillee was lucky not to make his debut a year or two earlier when this guy was around otherwise Lillee would have fallen in his run up due to twists in his knickers.
Farokh Engineer (wk): 2611 runs @ 31.08. Arguably the grittiest wicket keeper ever to play the game. Also he wasn't butt ugly like most wicket keepers and succeeded Keith Miller and Dennis Compton as the Brylcreem Man. Had the glamor and flamboyance to go with his excellent keeping and batting. Wasn't chosen the wk for the Rest of the World XI in the 70s for nothing. Was right up there in his trade amongst the best of the best.
Shaun Pollock: 3781 runs @ 32.31. 421 wickets @ 23.11. What a bowling all rounder in one of the flattest tracked era ever and one of the finest all rounders to play the game. He could screw you with bat and ball.
Peter Pollock: 607 runs @ 21.67. 116 wickets @ 24.18. Another fine all rounder and only cut short because of apartheid. He had his revenge on the world by throwing his potent seed around. See Shaun Pollock above for what this guy could do. Now father and son are going to screw you - TOGETHER.
Frank Tyson: 76 wickets @ 18.56. You know the day when Richie Benaud **** his pants? That was the day when Frank Typhoon Tyson was bowling. He was that quick. Not known as the Typhoon for nothing this guy was super quick. You know Shoaib Akhtar's grandma was from Uganda? and this guy was the grandfather. So you might as well imagine how quick he must have been.
Charlie Blythe: 100 wickets @ 18.63. Now this was a guy who played in Barnes time and rivaled him. He got to a 100 wickets in just 18 matches. So you know that you are screwed when he is in the opposition. Unlike Barnes he wasn't a coward. While the Germans were busy screwing Europe and the world in WWI and Barnes was busy painting his toilet this guy was seeing live action on the front. Have respect for this man. He died tragically young, killed in action at Passchendaele, and his memorial stands on the St. Lawrence Ground in Canterbury.
Bishan Bedi: 266 wickets @ 28.71. This guy was the real deal unlike the chuckers and druggies of the present day. He could screw you on and off the field. Had real venom in his bowling and even more in his mouth. Enough said
12th Man Glenn Turner: 2991 runs @ 44.64. New Zealand's greatest ever opener and arguably its greatest test batsman. Martin Crowe can suck it
This team has everything. A VERY STRONG BOWLING ATTACK with typhoon, charlie, bedi, and son and daddy pollocks. TOP NOTCH ALL ROUNDERS in Pollocks, and Ted Dexter. ULTRA STRONG BATTING LINE with some of the greatest batsmen ever to play the game.
Now this has to be the greatest XI assembled in this thread if not EVER. So people please vote for this team. In case you don't then the team has only two words for you
SCREW YOU

.........I put in the profiles of the players to let the others know just how good these guys were in case anybody is foolish enough to vote against this team
3 indians, 1 aussies, 5 englishmen, and 2 south africans to make the team. 12th man from NZ.

“Haters can suck it” XI
Stat Highlights
Opening pair
The best, if not the only one, opening pair in this draft that has actually played together. Bill Lawry was one of hardest batsmen to dismiss, battling with good success against fearsome bowling attacks led by Trueman/Statham or Hall/Griffith. On the other hand, Bob Simpson has a record as an opener that can leave many great openers in shade, averaging 55+ in 70 innings, a stat more relevant than his career average.
Middle Order
If you are the one for stats, Eddie Paynter must impress you with a batting average that is battered by only a handful in the history of the game. He had his career cut short by the world war. In Greg Chappell, the team has arguably the greatest Aussie batsmen allowed to be picked in the draft. His test stats are impressive, but the real testimony to his genius is his record in the World Series Cricket. Stanley Jackson is the champion from the pre-Hobbs era, arguably the first great test batsman average almost 49 in the era considered the most difficult for batsmen.
All Rounders
The lower middle order has players for multiple roles. Warwick Armstrong not only contributes as a batsmen, but also as a useful leg spinner. He is the obvious choice to be captain as proud holder of an unbeaten record leading one of the strongest test sides ever assembled. Brendon McCullum wears the gloves behind the wicket and gives a counter attacking option down the order. It's almost a dream to have Richard Hadlee batting at number 8 providing invaluable batting depth. As a bowler, Hadlee has few, if any, equals. An untiring trier, his contribution in victories for a fairly average side has no parallel in history. He was the Atlas of Kiwi cricket who simply never shrugged
Bowlers
To help Hadlee with the new ball is another Kiwi, Shane Bond. He could do a lot with the ball - inswing and yorkers being prime weapons - and all at a lightening pace. There is little doubt in anyone's mind that if fitness problems did not trouble him constantly, he would have gone on to achieve stats similar to the greatest fast bowlers of all time. Bill Johnston will be an ideal first change bowler to the champion Kiwi pair. With exception of the West Indians of 70's and 80's, perhaps no bowler has such exceptional bowling average while at being third best bowler for his side. Finally as a frontline spinner, the team has Jim Laker, the bowler who has produced the greatest bowling performance in 140 years of test cricket history. Easily a contender for a spot in 3 greatest off-spin bowlers of all time
12th Man
You can't possibly find a better player as a reserve than John Reid. He is the only test cricketer, please note "only test cricketer" ever to have scored a hundred, taken a fiver and also done a stumping. He can replace anyone in the team and this makes this team best covered for a last minute replacement.
In this draft, this team is clearly no.1. Haters can suck it
Code:
[B]Player Runs Avg 100's Wkts Avg 5wkt Ct St[/B]
Bob Simpson 4869 46.81 8 71 2 110
Bill Lawry 5234 47.15 13 30
Eddie Paynter 1540 59.23 4 7
Greg Chappell 7110 53.86 24 47 1 122
Stanley Jackson 1415 48.79 5 24 33.29 1 10
Warwick Armstrong (c) 2863 38.68 6 87 33.59 3 44
Brendon McCullum † 3389 37.24 6 167 11
Richard Hadlee 3124 27.16 2 431 22.29 36 39
Jim Laker 676 14.08 193 21.24 9 12
Shane Bond 87 22.09 5 8
Bill Johnston 160 23.91 7 16
John Reid 3428 33.28 6 85 33.35 1 43 1- 4 bowlers average under 24
- 5 batsmen average over 46
- 8 players in the first XI have scored at least one hundred
- 8 players in the first XI have taken at least one fiver
- 12th man has done both of the above two and has one stumping too. So he can replace any of the XI.
