Richie Benaud's XIs - Your Favorite Team?

[Lurker]

Dudes keep Sachin out of these thread. There are enough Sachin threads as is. Should you like open a new one, dont mess this one up. plz

[India-KXIP fan]

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

Strong proof :giggle: OMG Sachin is such a bad player. I've said it everyone believe me :hitler:

Great logical conclusion .... I get it that it hurts if someone doesn't select Sachin in his at11 so you get that urge to discuss that 11 :P Keep trolling .... But dont expect me or others to reply to your nonsense And if someone can clean up his troll posts!

There are only 4 middle order positions available after the openers and Dravid doesn't get into the Top 4 batsmen of all times. Likes of Bradman, Richards, Tendulkar, Sobers, Lara, Ponting and kallis were better.

It is all a matter of preference when picking 3 or 4 from a long list of great batsman. One can even make a case for the likes of Allan Border truth be told for the great battles he waged playing some of the best attacks of all time in the 80's. I am sure there are other such worthy batsman that can command a place over a IVR, BCL or a SRT.

Should you like open a new one' date=' dont mess this one up. plz[/quote'] You killed the thread by asking people not to discuss Sachin..... Same is true in all Bradman threads. People discuss him for Sachin. That is how much we are bradman fan, else who cares of mohen jodaro players. Anyway, Giving it a Mercy hump

Team A with 2 changes. I would replace Lillee with Steyn and Barnes with Mcgrath.

Don't fret too much - there is Bradman at number 3 - a walking wicket.

Richie Benaud is better place than any to make a call on an all time world XI. But I question his selection of players who played before even he was born, that too without any meaningful video highlights, i.e. Hobbs, Barnes, etc.

[jairamesh]

my XI based on my own personal viewing experience rather then some babus: Sehwag, Langer, Ponting, Tendulkar, Lara, Gilly©, Flintoff, Akram, Steyn, Murli, McGrath. If chucking was banned then Warney instead of Murli.
