PSB_Zone Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 We all must have gone through all kinds of World X1 selected By players from the players with whom they played.. Well since none of us are International players we can also play the game but according to what we have seen watching On television .My last memory of watching a cricket match is probably 1995.. So My TEST world X1 wd be Mat hayden Rahul Dravid( Yes he is not opener but got to be in my team somehow. Most of the time he Virtually opened anyway) Richie Ponting Sachin Tendulkar Brain Lara Jak Kallish Sangakara ( Very Tough at no 7 u can select Gilli as well) Wasim Akram Shane Warne Curtly Ambrose Glen Macgrath G_B_ 1 Link to comment

You could go either way with Sanga vs Gilly - this team is strong enough to not require the additional batting class that Sanga brings to the table, or you could argue that Sanga would be a better keeper for Spin. Its notable that since the 1990s, its rare to find a English player in these types of all-star XIs. Maybe if you had to pick a team post 2005, the likes of Anderson might get considered. And if Root keeps up his performance levels, he can start entering the discussions. PSB_Zone 1 Link to comment
kira Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Started watching cricket in 1996 world cup (although barely remember it except a few moments here and there), although I did watch my first match in stadium in 1994 which was India vs west indies test match ( have absolutely no memory of this game except 1 ball where kambli misfielded right in front of me and gave away a boundary) My Test XI would be: Hayden Sehwag Ponting (c) Tendulkar Lara Kallis Gilly (wk) Warne Murali/Ambrose Mcgrath Steyn Link to comment

Sehwag is a beast, the biggest matchwinner in asia, can turn draws into wins, probably the greatest player of spin, sure he'll have issues outside subcontinent and smith might fare better than him but with a middle order of ponting, sachin, lara and kallis I can afford sehwag, who on his day can win you the game singlehandedly Link to comment

Regardless of who was bowling to him, you knew that Veeru was going to attack him. Gilchrist did the same, but that was at #7 behind a power-packed batting lineup. Sehwag did it as an opener. For a couple of years in his prime, Veeru in test cricket was just a super-freak. kira 1 Link to comment

express bowling Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) Watching cricket from 1982-83 season Test teams picking the best of 34 years Tests played in Asia require completely different types of players and so, I have different teams. Tests In Asia 1. Gavaskar 2. Sehwag 3. Dravid / Pujara 4. Tendulkar 5. Kallis 6. Lara / Miandad 7. Dhoni (wk) 8. Ashwin / Murali 9. Wasim 10. Steyn / Shami 11. Kumble Tests outside Asia -- 1. Gavaskar 2. Graeme Smith 3. Richards 4. Tendulkar 5. Kallis 6. Steve Smith 7. Gilchrist (wk) 8. Marshall 9. Warne 10. McGrath 11. Steyn Edited September 16, 2017 by express bowling Link to comment
bones Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 So this nonsense again? I guess it's time to recycle old crappy topics again. From the 80s onwards, the mighty Aussies dominated and so the bulk and core of the team should be with them. I hate to say it to you guys but I think the only 2 Asians who I would place in the side are Sehwag and possibly Sanga, but even then you might pick Gilly who was more destructive. Wasim Akram and especially Tendulkar are so over rated. Sure they've got impressive ODI stats, but in tests there have been better guys and guys who don't wilt against the best or under pressure.

And yet, India leads 7 - 5 in the Border Gavaskar test series which started in the '90s. The Aussies wilted under pressure almost every time they played tests in India when they had to play outside their comfort zone. Edited September 16, 2017 by express bowling AuxiliA 1 Link to comment
