Not often talked about X1

[maniac]

Picking players who usually get left out of ATG dream X1s but have great stats and performances.
 

We can’t call them underrated either because when people mention their names, we do acknowledge they were great players.

 

Also tried my best to pick players who have had decent careers in both format. I believe apart from Herath everyone has had decent careers in both formats.

 

G.Kirsten
G.Smith
S.Chanderpaul
M.Yusuf
Inzamam

M.Boucher (WK)
C.Cairns 

J.Srinath

M.Ntini

R.Herat

A.Kumble

 

 

Other players considered: A.Border,S.Anwar,M.Jayawardena,Harbhajan Singh.

 

Left players like Pollock and VVS Laxman because think they do get their due often

WKs that get left out cause of preference for Gilly: 

• A Flower (Tests; avg around 53 vs. major teams)
• D Houghton (ODIs; missed a lot of cricket in his prime)
• A Knott (Tests; usually picked before Gilly came on the scene so probably got his due)

Sanga gets left out as batsman coz he cud wk as well but stats became so better when he just batted in test. He can get in sides with his batting.

 

Andy flower another one who suffers due to gilchrist.

How about Ian Healy? Kept well, not to shabby with the bat.

Healy was very good with the gloves. I guess, ppl would have preferred Knott till Gilly came to the scene

Flower is left out because his keeping was mediocre. Otherwise, he was a brilliant batsman.
