ESPNcricinfo to pick world XI


Recommended Posts

Posted
The list includes only those players who made in their respective team's All Time XI. Ponting failed to make it to the All Time Australian XI picked by Cricinfo.
Punter didn't make to the all time Aus XI? :omg: :hmmm:

Jack Hobbs Virender Sehwag Don Bradman Sachin Tendulkar Viv Richards Gary Sobers Kumar Sangakarra Shane Warne Wasim Akram Dennis Lillee Muralitharan/Allan donald
Sangakkara doesn't keep wickets in Tests. Also, Sehwag ahead of Sunny is a joke of the highest order. Sehwag, as good as he is, isn't fit to lace Sunny's boots.

Below is my X1: - Gavaskar - Sehwag - Don - Tendulkar - Viv - Sobers - Gilchrist - Hadlee - Warne - Marshall - Lillee Notes: 1. Squeezed Sehwag in for the excitement value he offers 2. Would have prefered Imran or Botham as 2nd all-rounder but cricinfo wouldn't allow me to pick Hadlee purely as a bowler so had to pick Hadlee as the 2nd all-rounder and Lillee as the bowler 3. Richard and Sehwag could bowl off-spin to support Warne if required 4. Sir Garfield Sobers could roll his arm as the 4th seamer 5. Playing Don is like playing two batsmen (in Don's own words, iirc)

Chappell was 10 times the batsman Ponting will ever be.

- Gavaskar - Sehwag - Bradman - Tendulkar - Lara - Sobers - Gilchrist - McGrath - Murali - Warne - Wasim I went for what I felt was a balanced team with Sobers as the all rounder atleast 4 left hand bats in Lara, Sobers, Gilchrist and Wasim I went for Wasim & Mcgrath - Left & Right combo Warne & Murali - again off & leg spin combo

Virender Sehwag - on the way to being the most influential player for his team-perhaps of all time Barry Richards - Left hander. Ideal touch player to Sehwag's brutalization. Will still score fast. Rahul Dravid - Undisputed leader in conserving one's own wicket and building innings. Sachin Tendulkar - Perhaps the Federer of cricket. Not much explanation needed. Brian Lara - Virtuoso Lara coming after Tendulkar will drive the most resolute bowlers crazy! Imran Khan - Intuitive, intelligent and diversely talented. Lends balance with bat and ball. Adam Gilchrist - The best wicket keeper batsman - as a package. Wasim Akram - The best exponent of swing that ever existed in the game. Shane Warne - Attacking spinner and a decent, brave bat. Curtly Ambrose - Terror by another name! Parsimonious and honourable. Inexorable fast bowler! Michael Holding - Adding fuel to burning fire is the near perfect Rolls Royce of fast bowling!

I thought Barry was a right hand batsman. I hope you are not confusing him with Grahme Pollock.
