Jager
International Debutant
Marcuss timed out, so I'll take Saeed Anwar.
I figured I needed at least one legitimate opener, so I chose him over Amla, Duleepsinhji, Graveney, O'Neill etc.
1. Saeed Anwar
2. Gerry Alexander
3. Keith Miller*
4. Peter May
5. Jeffrey Dujon
6. Ian Healy
7. Don Tallon+
8. Richie Benaud
9. Saqlain Mushtaq
10. Andy Roberts
11. James Anderson
12. Rashid Latif
Overall, four wicketkeepers in the side, which means my batting is quite unbalanced and generally weak. That being said, there are still eight test centurions in my side, with Tallon being a vastly underrated talent with the willow and Roberts and Anderson adequate tail-enders. My bowling is pretty strong, Roberts and Anderson would take the new ball and after perhaps four overs, Miller could send down his rockets in a quick burst of a spell. Benaud and Mushtaq are superb spinners, the former being selected as the sixth best spinner in the ATG XI's game, behind Warne, Muralitharan, O'Reilly, Laker and Grimmett.
Verdict
Batting- garbage
Bowling- superb

Fanie de Villiers
1. Bill Ponsford
2. Jack Hobbs
3. Inzamam Ul Haq

6. Colin McCool
7. Alan Knott
8. Hedley Verity
9. Wes Hall
10. Merv Hughes
11. Lance Gibbs
12. Fanie de Villiers
Probably one of the better balanced teams in terms of batting, with some good players all the way down the line up. Spin bowling looks impressive with two ATG spinners, and Woolley and McCool to provide backup. Lacking a bit in the seam department, but Fanie in for Gibbs wouldn't make the team that much worse in my opinion.

Firstly re: Captain I'm happy with none of them tbh.
Generally reasonably happy, but I could do with more lefties (for everything but spin bowling) . More commments later.

Well I've ummed and ahed about the final pick. Some great players, mostly batsmen, still out there. Mark Waugh, Michael Slater, Jimmy Cook, Gilbert Jessop, Learie Constantine and Herschelle Gibbs all crossed my mind, not least because of their fielding skills. But in the end Jayasuriya gets in because he's a specialist opener, he's scored a lot of international runs, and his SLA allows me to play 4 specialist bowlers.
I think it's a pretty decent team. A well balanced bowling attack, a clutch of outstanding fielders and plenty of runs.
