Richie Benaud's XIs - Your Favorite Team?

[rkt.india]

Ah except we are not time travelling are we. Hobbs and Bradman would be as good as modern day caoching and training would allow them to be or' date= or your team would be as good as 1920's and 30's coaching and training would allow them to be.

It is just a guess.

^ it is not really, all people are products of their enviorment and the benefits of evolution. And anyway Thats the whole point of dream teams, it is by definition guessing. People who do not consider players pre 1970 worthy of consideration should not take part in these excercises.

India-KXIP fan's top order would really struggle against Hadlee, Marshall, Lillee anyway so he is very wrong on that point.

Without Hobbs being able to overrule the umpire after being bowled what will he do!? Poor Bradman couldn't tolerate a trundler like Larwood bowling on the body, good luck with Ambrose :giggle:

You think Viv Richards could open against Lillee/Hadlee.. hehe..good luck with that...Sunny always struggled against Lillee and Dravid has never faced that kind of sustained quality in pace bowling. 20/3 just there. Brief counter attacking repair job from Lara and Tendulkar maybe, but I think we all agree your team would be 180ish all out

Obvious troll is obvious :giggle: On a srs note my scenario is the only realistic one. Sorry Rett, truth hurts

I think these dreams are selected based on how players performed in their eras' date= not based on guess work as how would they have performed today?

Exactly but it's also under the assumption - "A great in one era would be a great in another".

That assumption does not seem right.

[Crookbond]

That assumption does not seem right.

No other way to pick a team across eras.

Picking them on what they did in their era is right, but we cant be sure they would have done the same now.

No Murali?

Unbiased supporters, Richie Benaud and his friends dont select Murali and they keep on going gung ho on making ATG 11.... While "biased one" may be invited to give opinion about players in the "unbiased ones" documentary and then get edited.... Benaud's contribution to cricket is spread misinformation. Seriously, It stinks

Hard to take folks like you seriously :P And since you are banking so much on Sachin. I m sure you are not aware of his record when 2 atg bowlers are in the opposition. Who knows even Sammervera might be a better choice as at least he won't choke :hysterical: But you can keep dreaming :--D

:hysterical: Look whos talking. The Irony! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH9Efkt4D-0]Sachin Tendulkar 155* vs Australia 1998 - YouTube[/ame] Hope this drugee doesn't qualify as ATG (srs) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvJy8V0vpLc]Sachin Tendulkar century vs South Africa, 1996/97 - YouTube[/ame] ATGs in this one mate

In your dumb book that^ qualifies as a strong response (as if clips of Lillee, Hadlee, etc doing well are not available) while ignoring what's implied in the post you replied too :hysterical: Thanks for embrassing yourself ..... My impression that most of the Sachin fanboys are clueless about finer points of cricket and inability to see 360 degrees still stands. For most a response constitutes as writing one more post whether it makes sense or not :P For comedy, I will let you live in your own world.

^wtf are you saying seriouly, get of the drugs explains your ridiculous views

What's Bradmans record? :hmmm: Wait ATG bowlers didn't even exist back then :hysterical: Imagine him against Ambrose, I mean a medium pacer bowled at his body and threatened him. No offence but look at Larwoods action, looks like a joker running in, keeper standing close. On the otherhand 6'8 fast bowler good luck "Don" :giggle:

Great! So we know that Sachin can't (but you still hv him proudly in your team) but since YOU can't 'imagine' that for Don despite him being successful in series like Bodyline, we have to assume Don can't too :haha: If folks like you, who register by dozens every month on ICF, care to read over old threads, it would make ICF a better place and save ppl from the trouble of reading your dumb posts!

Sachin vs SA (2 ATGs) 3 posts above.... Tells me to read properly :hysterical: O and If you folks like you, who register by dozens every month on ICF, care to read over threads, it would make ICF a better place and save ppl from the trouble of reading your posts! :giggle:

You still don't get the message .... Dont worry, after a few weeks your tube light will get on:hysterical: Till then stop spoiling this thread with your comments, which frankly no one wants to read :P
