Which is your favourite all time team in cricket?

Hello to all! This thread is for giving our views about various international teams.

A poll wont be able to capture the thoughts of members that easily.

To me, my all-time favorite was the South African team led by Hansie Cronje- they were the Champions of cricket, who unfortunately were unable to get their hands on the World Cup in 1996 & 1999.

This side had every thing- two great openers in Hudson & Kirsten, boosted by a strong middle order comprising of Cullinan, Cronje, Rhodes, a class=apart keeper in Richardson, 2 hard hitting all-rounders in Pollock & Klusener and Allan Donald to bring up the pace battery.

They were the then Kings of Cricket- really unfortunate to not to get close to that elusive trophy.

I admire the team which was lead by Ricky Pointing. Shane Warne and McGrath are masters of bowling department. Punter himself is a batting legend. Gilcrist was an excellent aggressive wicket keeper.

My favorite team is the Australian cricket team of Ashes 06/07. I liked the passion and aggression they displayed on the field , along with the entertaining cricket they played. Other than that , I also liked the Australian cricket team of 1995 , the year in which they knocked the West Indians off their perch.

2011 world cup team of india(legendary)

 

[ParkedTheBus]

I am not a hater of the Indian team , but calling the 2011 team legendary is just stupid . Of this decade , only the South Africans of 2011-14 can even claim to be half way to becoming a legendary team. We saw that the current Indian team (i.e , of this decade) cannot buy a run on fast , seaming wickets except for the South African tour of 10/11. A legendary team is one that has won in all places , or atleast come close to winning in all places. IMHO , the best Indian teams were that of 2000-2005/6 and the that won the WC.

The Indian team of 08-11 was pretty good

I agree with @Davoo

The late seventies-mid eighties west indies and the invincibles are the, objectively, greatest sides of all time.

True dat , but many of us haven't seen either of them play live

India's 2003 WC team will always be pretty special to me.

Sehwag
Tendulkar
Ganguly
Kaif
Dravid
Yuvraj
Mongia <--- Exception
Harbhajan
Zaheer
Nehra
Srinath

Probably our best bowling attack ever, even kept a guy like Kumble out of the XI.

Loved Ganguly's captaincy. I also loved the selflessness of Rahul Dravid in donning the WK gloves. Provided great balance to our team. Plus Tendulkar was an absolute BEAST. Amazing fielding of Kaif/Yuvraj too.
