Title: Players you wish played together
Post by: Cover_Drive on January 10, 2012, 11:13:17 PM
As the title says, which international players (from all around the world) would you like to see in one team?

I'll start for me firstly it would be Shoaib Akhtar, Brett Lee and Shaun Tait, I wish they three at there peak played together in a team, that bowling attack would murder any opposition.

Secondly would be Sir Viv Richards, Shahid Afridi, Virendar Sehwag and Adam Gilchrist

Gayle and Trescothick opening partnership........'nuff said!

The latter is still possible - it all depends on who Somerset decide to get as their overseas player.

Taunton isn't big enough for most batsman, Gayle would be clearing the church and beyond lol.

They've got Philander for first part of season, then van Der Merwe and Pollard for T20. Then RVDM for rest of season

Not so much guys I'd like to have seen play together as guys I'd like to have seen play each other.  Would have loved to see Sir Viv bat against Freddie Trueman - partly because they are both heroes of mine, but mostly because it would be an intriguing battle of egos.  For different reasons would love to have seen Sir Viv bat against Brett Lee...at that pace, the ball would have flown FOREVER!

Another one that springs to mind - Steve Waugh batting against the classic Four Horsemen era West Indies attack!

Gayle has signed as Somerset's overseas player... Guess you're gonna have to do a fair bit of travelling now!

Hadn't really wished it before I saw it but Chris Gayle and Ahmed Shehzad opening for Barisal is an absolute treat!

Post by: tushar sehgal on April 13, 2012, 11:57:33 PM
Hmm how abt a team that had!!

Gayle, Warner, Dravid, Tendulkar, Lara, S Waugh (c), Shewag, Gilchirst, Holding, Ambrose, Donald, Akram

Vs

Viv Richards, Hayden, Bradman, Ponting, Larwood, Warne, Mcgrath, Healy/Russel, Botham, Waqar, Styen
Title: Re: Players you wish played together
Post by: Joe on April 14, 2012, 06:45:04 AM
Gavaskar, Boycott, Dravid, Cook, Ali, Brearley (C), Boucher, Anderson, Panesar, Chris Martin, Pommie Mbangwa. Runs would be scored, very, very slowly and I think it is very unlikely the tail would add much.

Bit harsh on Boucher, the guy scores runs and at a decent click as well...

I needed a keeper and he was the first one who came to mind.
