[legerry]

What the Australian one day team should look like NOW.

Hayden
Jaques
Ponting
Symonds
Hussey
Clarke
Gilchrist
Lee
Warne
Gillespie
McGrath

What the Test team should have been during the Ashes.

Hayden
Langer
Ponting
Martyn
Hussey
Bevan
Gilchrist
Lee
Warne
McGrath
MacGill

Gillespie.

 

[timprice]

martyn before clarke? clarke was actually quite spirited with the bat in the ashes i thought. definately played a bigger role than marto.

 

[legerry]

yeah he played better, but like, i'm saying what the team should have looked like when they originally picked it. and martyn had absolutely shat on everybody for a long period before that, so he had to be there. maybe clarke ahead of Hussey. Hussey wasn't proven at that stage.

 

[DRAGONZ]

What the Test team should have been during the Ashes.

Hayden
Langer
Ponting
Martyn
Hussey
Bevan
Gilchrist
Lee
Warne
McGrath
MacGill

Gillespie.

No.

The English conditions were perfect for only ONE Australian seam bowler.

That bowler was Nathan Bracken.

He should have been in the XI.

 

[timprice]

Hussey wasn't proven at that stage.

yeah, you're right, 10,000 first class runs and a great odi tournament meant nothing.

 

[legerry]

shutup dipshit. were you gunning for him before they picked him?

 

[Minai]

West Indies
1. F.M.M. Worrell (c)
2. R.B. Kanhai
3. G.A. Headley
4. E.D. Weekes
5. B. Lara
6. G.S. Sobers
7. C.L. Walcott (wk)
8. M.M. Marshall
9. W.W. Hall
10. J. Garner
11. L.R. Gibbs

With so magnificent players, this team was by far the most difficult to select. I had to make the biggest scarifice by cutting Richards from the team for Brian Lara. Then there is the fast-bowling talent !. Holding, Ambrose, Walsh, Croft, Roberts.. the list just goes on.

No room for the most prolific opening pair? (Greenidge and Haynes)

I think Ponting (now) should be included in an Australian greatest XI
The only contemporaries that should be considered (for now) would be Hayden, Ponting, Gilly, Warne and McGrath

 

[timprice]

ponting should be 3 in aus greatest xi and bradman should come in at 4. i'd have hayden opening with ponsford, and gilly, warney and mcgrath all in the team too.
