Personal favorites XI

[IanG]

Is this personal favourite of the current players or all time? Then again you could make another thread of that too

 

[pcfan123]

I made mine for current players but a lot of people are using historical players. So take a stab at whatever you feel like doing.

No way Mitchell Johnson would be above Vettori...

Just wait till Mitch breaks Vettori's fingers after breaking his heart with a ton

All time
Matthew Hayden
Justin Langer

Ross Taylor
AB de Villiers

Shaun Pollock
Daniel Vettori
Shane Bond
Glenn McGrath

I suppose that's not a balanced team but that's not the point I guess.

 

[Dabi]

I don't like too many of the current players so I'll mix it up...

The list is for Test Matches.

Saeed Anwar
Sachin Tendulkar
Brian Lara
M. Yusuf
Inzamam ul Haq
Sangakkara
Mark Boucher (love his glovework when keeping for the fast men)
Shane Warne
Wasim Akram
Waqar Younis
Glenn McGrath
Allan Donald (12th man)

Although if I had to choose 11 players who I loved watching (regardless of having a proportional side), I'd go with:

Saeed Anwar
Sachin Tendulkar
Brian Lara
M. Yusuf
Wasim Akram
Shane Warne
Waqar Younis
Glenn McGrath
Allan Donald
Malcolm Marshall
Curtly Ambrose

 

[shravi]

Matthew Hayden
Virender Sehwag
Rahul Dravid
Sachin Tendulkar
Kevin Pietersen
Ross Taylor
+ MS Dhoni/Adam Gilchrist
Shane Bond
Dale Steyn
Glenn Mcgrath
Shoaib Akhtar

No spinner but it's a personal favourites XI, so it doesn't matter.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

graeme smith
sehwag
Tendulkar
jayawardene
Ryder
Angelo Mathews
Ramdin
shakib al hasan
morkel
Asif
Malinga/Bond (neither of them play test cricket much these days though)

Feel bad I've not put any West Indians in though as I do like them a lot as a team.

Barath, Gayle, Umar Akmal, Chanderpaul, Laxman and Ryan Sidebottom are the guys on the fringes.

 

[-D-S-B-]

R. Dravid
C. Gayle
K. Williamson
J. Ryder
VVS. Laxman
T. Samawaweera
B. McCullum
N. McCullum
D. Mascarenhas
G. Napier
N. Wagner

I'd pay a lot of $$ to see that team in action, just hope they bat first!
