He and his habbit of glorifying past....after getting bashed for his past glorifying disease,He somehow included current generation squad just to keep them in the game. But his Pakistani patriotism is overshadowing all the hard work which he does in essay writing.

Decent OP

 

ok 

 

1, WI 

2, Aus

3, Ind

4, SA

 

rest are not applicable for the OP as no other team dominated over any length of time. Eng and SL did have decent teams others are minnows IMO

The teams that stand out are West Indies,Australia,South Africa and Pakistan.The conditions would play a major factor.On a very fast wicket West Indies or Australia may well come up on top while on batting wicket or in seaming condition sit may well be Pakistan or Australia.

Pakistan has the a great bowling attack but not as good a batting line up as the other teams.

When you look at it factually, Pakistan was a minnow team ( minus bottle caps or home umpires) that struggled to bat overseas so can not compete with any best of all time 11s from WI,Aus,Ind,SA,Eng or SL. It could be because of genetics but we will never know.

@Harsh Thakor create a list from past players who would make a formidable T20 line up in this day and age.

 

Was planning on making one but wanted to see what you have.

I will signup Sobers-Viv-Garner, along with Russell, for the 4 international slots for the wolves

Kanhai could keep wickets, so he would replace Dujon & with the best A/R ever that Windian side would be nearly unbeatable home or away!

operative point is to their contemporaries. 

 

I think in terms of pure ability across board.

 

the Aus 2000 and later side under Ponting and the SA side under smith that peaked after them must be the best ever. 

With the 2005 Eng side and the current Indian team under Kohli coming in after them. 

 

I believe, if you clone the 2000 Aus side and make them 25 to 30 now and let them play they will beat all side currently.
