With your own eyes XI

[G.I.Joe]

 

[JBMAC]

Always imagined the CW mahjong champion to be more lucid itbt.

OK now I know...haven't played mahjong here for a while forgot the champion bit

 

[SamSawnoff]

In 1981 I saw Michael Holding, Andy Roberts, Malcolm Marshal and Joel Garner bowl at the WACA v the Aussies. Nothing will ever beat that.

I could probably put down that team but swap Dujon for Gilly and that would be it.

 

[zaremba]

Haha, JB. Epic elevens both. Don't see anyone competing with having seen those players.

Fwiw here are mine:

Australia

Taylor (c)
Hayden
Ponting
G Chappell
Border
S Waugh/ Walters
Gilchrist
Warne
Thomson
Lillee
McGrath

Visiting

Greenidge
Boycott
Richards
Tendulkar
Lara
Botham
Dujon
Marshall
Kumble
Holding
Garner

I'm sure I've left many out. Kumble out for Andy Roberts for Perth and brisbane.

Waugh or Walters then? Come on, mister, let's hear your choice - and with reasons please.

Waugh or Walters then? Come on, mister, let's hear your choice - and with reasons please.

Probably Waugh. Just because I like hard-arsed cricketers. And he adds somethign with the ball, though tbf Walters took 49 test wickets.

Also, Doug's record in England was really bad - his home spun technique not well suited there. Was a great player though.
