quite a few boring dudes in it!!!

my team would be full of bonafide champions but with uncontrollable rage or a weakness for ladies or the bottle

WG Grace (larrikin nature) *
Sanath Jayasurya (leaked tape)
Clem Hill (famous punch up)
Walter Hammond (syphillis)
Gary Sobers (gambling)
Keith Miller (uber coolness)
Ian Botham (wild beast)
Jock Cameron (adventurer) +
Shane Warne (pro texter)
Dennis Lillee (aggro male)
Hugh Tayfield (ladies man)

 

[Coronis]

XI made of the best player from every test team.

Hobbs
Sobers
Bradman
Tendulkar
Kallis
Flower+
Shakib
Imran
Hadlee
Tim Murtagh
Murali

12th man: Rashid Khan

Murtagh in ahead of Rashid for team balance and his FC experience.

Sobers opening since he has the most experience of the batsmen opening, and a century whilst doing it.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Honorable mention: Rahmat Shah

 

[Coronis]

Ends up pretty neat, we end up with (according to us) the 4 greatest batsmen of all time, 2 of the top 6 pace bowlers of all time, the greatest spinner of all time and the top 3 all rounders of all time.

I would open with Kallis. I know he didn't do it in Tests but I think he'd be suited to it and Sobers would be more value in the middle order, whereas Kallis would suck the momentum out of an innings at no.5

Yeh I’d throw Kallis or Sachin in to open.

2 ATG pacers for an AT 11 seems inadequate.

Hobbs
Kallis/Barry(if it isn’t just based on internationals.)
