Len Hutton Sunil Gavaskar Don Bradman Sachin Tendulkar Viv Richards Gary Sobers Ian Healy Richard Hadlee Shane Warne Malcolm Marshall Fred Trueman / Muttiah Muralitharan

But was he better than Mcgrath, Ambrose, Donald, Khan, Hadlee or Holding? And on that topic was Akram?

Lets start with the selections that I disagree with. I personally think that Richards, Lillee and Akram are all a tad overrated, they are all great, just not 1st team great. I would like some one to explain to me how Akram is better than Khan, and how Richards is better than Lara. I understand...

My last guess for cricinfo 11 Jack Hobbs Sunil Gavaskar Don Bradman Viv Richards Sachin Tendulkar Garry Sobers Adam Gilchrst Imran Khan Shane Warne Malcolm Marshall Dennis lillee. Not my 11, I would prefer Barry Richards over Gavaskar, Mcgrath over Lillee and Lara or Pollock over...

When is cricinfo releasing the squad?

Top 10 Malcolm Marshall Shane Warne Glenn Mcgrath Muttiah Muralitharan Dennis Lillee Michael Holding Fred Trueman Alan Donald Waqar Younis Curtly Ambrose, Wasim Akram

They are now doing an all excluded team as a prelude to the all time 11, here's mine based on the players cricinf excluded from their short list. Herbert Sutcliffe Matthew Hayden Ricky Ponting(c) Everton Weekes Denis Compton Clyde Walcott(wk) Tony Greig Jim Laker Joel Garner Ray...

So any last bets on what team will be selected on tuesday. Also is the team to be named linked to Wisden in any way, is this anythinh historical or official

Australia Matthew Hayden Arthur Morris Don Bradman Ricky Ponting Greg Chappell Adam Gilchrist Keith Miller Shane Warne Dennis Lillee Bill O'Reilly Gelnn Mcgrath W.I Gordon Greenidge Conrad Hunte George Headley Brian Lara Viv Richards Garry Sobers Jeffrey Dujon Malcolm...

Wally Hammond exists in the same statosphere as Tendulkar, Richards ect, and Englands at worst 3rd best batsman and best middle order batsman. He was also a useful medium pacer and a superb slip fielder, which always acts as a tie-breaker for me when constructing a team. If we are using that...

When Punter came in there was less pressure because they were runs on the board and after Haydos's assault, the bowlers were already broken, plus knowing the batting strenght behind him, Pontings job was half done. Dont get me wrong, Ponting is a great batsman, but Hayden, along with Gilchrist...

Made some adjustments to short list, and added a few names to make it a nice round number of players (40) Is it possible to use this or a comparable list to start a poll in a new thread.

I agree about Faulkner, he was next in line, Evans along with Waite/Cameron were considered, but decided to stick with the best combo batsman/keeper. With Hayden, I must disagree, he was the foundation of that great Aussie team, and made life easier for Punter, Gilly and co., while Morris feeded...

Yeah, was going to choose Hutton, Richards, Bradman, Tendulkar, Sobers, Gilchrist, Khan, Marshall, Warne, Muralitharan, Mcgrath, but combination wasnt posible. Would have been only plausible way to select two spinners.

Just for the record to me this should have been the short list. Openers Jack Hobbs, Barry Richards, Len Hutton, Matthew Hayden, Sunil Gavaskar, Virender Sehwag, Gordon Greenidge, Arthur Morris. Middle Order Donald Bradman, Viv Richards, Sachin Tendulkar, Wally Hammond, Brian Lara, Greg...

YOUR TEAM OPENERS Barry Richards Sir Leonard Hutton MIDDLE ORDER Brian Lara Sachin Tendulkar Sir Donald Bradman ALLROUNDERS Imran Khan Sir Garry Sobers WICKETKEEPER Alan Knott BOWLERS Glenn McGrath Malcolm Marshall Shane Warne So thats my vote to cricinfo, really can't loose any...

So for arguments sake, and if you are right and everyone else is wrong, is Hanif also better than Hutton, Hayden, Greenidge, Morris, Richards, Boycott, who by the way all have higher averages that Hanif. And as Javed is concerned only you think he is the equal to Sachin and Brian. He is great...

Now for how I believe the selection process for the final 11 will play out for the jurors. First of all the five players selected as the Wisden Players of the Century will be automatic selections, so Jack Hobbs, Donald Bradman, Vivian Richards, Garfield Sobers and Shane Warne are the first...

Fully agree with you, though I too think that Barry Richards deserve a look in as well. For the bowlers for sure Marshall, Warne, Mcgrath, and for the fourth i think they will either go for Wasim (best left hander) or Imran (second best all rounder), though they may surprise and go 2 spinners...
