Obviously it depends on how he's going to be rated though, because if it's what he was like at his peak then yes he's better than pretty much everyone.

Totally agree with you anyway its up to Dipak or maybe Aggz ??

Alright. Ponting and Freddie needn't play..

Why don't you simply make it a small three-team tournament between the OPL, EPL champions and an All Stars team which includes those two legends?

Excellent idea! All Stars in the sense?

A team consisting of some current and retired Australian/English players? I'd like to put my name forward to manage the team.

 

[Dipak]

Sure, why don't you name the 16-man squad!? Also you have to add Ponting and Freddie. 6 Aussies and Englishmen each and 4 Kiwis.

@VC the slogger On the basis of which criteria did you select the players? Asking out of curiosity.

Except for Ponting, Flintoff and Warne, I picked all the others randomly. Preferred picking those who are still playing some form of active cricket and happen to be free in my eyes to represent an All Stars team.

It seems we would like some represent from the Kiwis, so could you even add Bond?

I'm not really sure whom to remove to get him in, so could you add him as our 17th player? 17 ought to be fair 'cause both the OPL & EPL ones have 18 each.

Sure! Also could you get the best performers from both leagues added to the three main guys instead of the random players? I can help you.

I like the idea of selecting the best performing players from the two leagues to join those three legends. Vincent's in my team btw.

Well, my idea of an All Stars team has always been a few retired players plus some other randomly selected active players. But if you want it to consist of the top performers, I'm all good with it. You can give me a list of the top ten run scorers/wicket takers, and I can replace the random players with them.

Ross Taylor, Marcus North, Brendon McCullum, Brett Lee, Michael Clarke, Usman Khawaja, James Franklin, Chris Martin, Mitchell Marsh, Mitchell Johnson and Ben Hilfenhaus. I didn't quite do the stats of season two yet - but this is the status till round 8 (on page 76)
