What would be your Miracle XI?

[Johan]

I think ABD has to be picked for these scenarios. Probably the guy outside Viv who was capable of the most based on pure talent.

habit of throwing away the wicket and a shocking lack of ATG knocks/serieses

 

[The_Rey]

Hobbs
Boycott
Ponting
Bradman
KP
Botham
Gilchrist
Warne
Larwood
Voce
Laker


Obviously a lot of recency bias, ans a bit England centric. But could you imagine Larwood and Voce sticking it up a Martians nose at 90mph?
They'd never have experienced another living being like Boycott before.
The best player who ever lived, with the best spinner who ever lived

Three different types of seamer, and two spinners who'd get wickets on any track


Only thing it lacks is a proper, natural captain. If I could, I'd get Jardine in there somewhere

Isn't that for a general ATG XI?

Which is what you asked for here, an ATG XI to play some miracle Martian XI

Larwood easily, 90mph was probably his stock delivery, not even effort delivery. Voce was a much slower swing bowler who could get awkward bounce.

Okay, Voce sticking it up a Martians nose at 83mph

could work.

Its a dump for basically any variation of all time xis (like this one) so the forum doesn’t get too cluttered.

Oh ok I missed that when I visited the thread before.

Martians would be used to dry, dusty conditions so in England would come up stuck against either a green top with heavy cloud overhead and a hint of rain in the air or, going back a bit, a sticky. Pick your XI accordingly.
