Okay so it's been the best part of a year since I did this - and that time was with a big spreadsheet and hours of thinking time."All Time XI" squad like the "Classic XI" you'd get on Brian Lara cricket. Your squad must contain 18 players (probably a bit arbitrary, but I'm sticking with it), it must contain no current players
This time, it's going to be a little bit more instinctive:
- WG Grace
- Sunil Gavaskar
- Don Bradman
- Sachin Tendulkar
- Brian Lara
- Viv Richards
- AB de Villiers
- Adam Gilchrist
- Garry Sobers
- Imran Khan
- Richard Hadlee
- Wasim Akram
- Dale Steyn
- Malcolm Marshall
- Glenn McGrath
- Lasith Malinga
- Shane Warne
- Muttiah Muralitharan
Test XI: Grace, Gavaskar, Bradman , Lara, Sobers, Imran, Gilchrist , Hadlee/Warne (depending on conditions), Marshall, Murali, McGrath
ODI XI: Tendulkar, Gilchrist , Lara, Richards, de Villiers, Imran , Wasim, Hadlee, Steyn, Murali, McGrath
T20 XI: Tendulkar, Gilchrist , Lara, Richards, de Villiers, Sobers, Wasim, Warne , Steyn, Murali, Malinga
I've not looked to see if this is significantly different to my first try
