Straight Drive Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Will consolidate the results and prepare ICF all-time Test 11 team at the end. No restrictions / criteria for picking the 11 Indian test players. Not adding polls. Will manually calculate and post results. Request to designate the captain, vc and wkt. Edit: As it is noticed that there are some members who prefer team to be condition based, I quite like this idea. Members can post two teams - Name it as (1) Spin friendly conditions and (2) Pace friendly conditions Teams will be accepted till 11th march, 2019. Results likely to be posted on 12th March, 2019. In case of modifications of teams by same member, the last mentioned team by the member will be considered. Mods: I tried searchng for similar thread and couldn't find any on this topic.. which is surprising as i feel there must be atleast couple of these. Might as well merge in case a similar thread exists. Edited February 12, 2019 by Straight Drive Link to comment

maniac Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Will omit Sachin and Dhoni as there is a lot of thsesis done here on why they are useless. Will also omit Gavaskar as Mumbai Lobby ruined cricket Will omit Kapil Dev we we see his stats posted here to prove he is worse than Hardik Pandya and Yuvraj Singh. will exclude other commonly hated players like Rahane and Pujara as well So here is the best dream ICF X1 based on players we love here unanimously Sehwag KL Rahul <u-19 batsman> Lala Amarnath Budhi Kunderan Hardik Pandya Krunal Pandya Rishabh Pant Umesh Yadav Varun Aron <u-19 phaast bowler> Laaloo and CSK Fan 1 1 Link to comment

sehwag123 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Please don't pick Gavaskar as captain. He used to play for milestones. Link to comment

Was excellent overseas and 5th bowler Mohinder Amarnath and Madan Lal who both bowled medium pace did bowl together as a pair in some matches. As a pair i think they gave their best pereformance at Christchurch (1976 tour) . Madan Lal was a regular bowler though who bowled more than Mohinder. Link to comment

Rightarmfast Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 This is just a random 11 by me. I have not checked stats, will study and post later. Heres a warm up India XI from me - Sunny Gautam Gambhir/ Sehwag Dravid Sachin Kohli Dhoni Kapil Kuldeep Yadav ( I know he is young in test, but the way he has performed overseas, in my book, he is ahead ) Zaheer Bumrah Srinath/ Kumble ( Depending upon condition ) Why did I not chose another batsman like others have done? I believe with the likes of Sunny, sachin, dravid and kohli, with kapil and dhoni, we DO NOT need any more batsmen. If these batsmen cant handle the bowlers, one more batsman can do jacks*it! Whereas, we have 4 genuine bowlers, with Kapil as a medium pacer, along with Sachin who can twist his arm around too with leg cutters. Link to comment
Gollum Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) I am considering minimum sample size of 40 tests...otherwise it may open a pandora's box. Also only players that have retired, impossible to tell how some of the current players may end their careers. 1) Spin conditions Gavaskar Sehwag Dravid SRT Laxman Kapil Dhoni(c and wk) Kumble (vc) Srinath Bedi Chandra 2) Pace and Swing Gavaskar (vc) Amarnath Dravid (c) SRT Vishy VVS Kapil Engineer (wk) Zaheer Srinath Prasanna In 10 years time I see quite a few changes, but right now I will go with these XIs OP.

Straight Drive Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 @sehwag123 @Rightarmfast@SK_IH @zen @Gollum @maniac Request to post two teams as edited in OP. (1) Spin conditions. (2) Pace and swing conditions. Please restrict to 11 players without options for same spot. Link to comment
zen Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Retired players only to reduce options Spin conditions Gavaskar (c) Sehwag Dravid Sachin VVS V Mankad Kapil (vc) Dhoni Srinath Prasanna Chandra 3 spinners - Chandra (freak), Prasanna (legendary off spinner), and Mankad (probably Ind's best AR) Kapil and Srinath as opening bowlers. Srinath used to get top order wkts too to make it easier for the spinners Pace and swing conditions Gavaskar (c) Sehwag Dravid Sachin M Amarnath V Mankad (at times was like one man show in tests in Eng iirc. opened in tests too) Engineer (opened in tests too and played county cricket in Eng iirc) Kapil (vc) Srinath Zak Chandra (won us a test in Eng, etc. iirc) 3 pacers - Kapil (AR), Srinath and Zak. Other options include Amar Singh and Md Nissar 2 spinners - Chandra and Mankad (AR) Edited February 12, 2019 by zen Link to comment
