Just been watching a bit of the big bash today and got me thinking, what would be the greatest T20 side if our could pick 11 players from any country????
Sorry for any spelling errors in names (tried to not oick any Sri Lankan
Mine is
Chris Gayle
Marcus Trescothick
KP
Ricky Pointing
Luke Wright
AB Devillers
Kieron Pollard
Shane Warne
Brett Lee
Alphonso Thomas
Murilia
That is what i have just come up with, i may have missed some players but i reckon that side would win 90% plus of games
-
I think there is already a link for this somewhere
-
Gilchrist ...
-
Kallis has to be in the team
-
I think you're forgetting Jack Shantry
-
Narine? Warne's lost abit of his x factor. Shane watson definitely, malinga over lee if he's up to it and david warner has shined in domestic t20, tough to call!
-
sorry if there is already a list and teams can be past or present players, when he was playing warn would have walked into anyside in any format. Didnt really think Kallis was as good in T20 as other formats and i woule personally thave Tres over warner as both similar players
Gilchrist should have found his way in i must admit
Anyway hopfully a thread that will get the grey matter working ready for monday and another week closer to the new season :D
-
If you are picking in their pomp, there's so many to choose from and in the end it will more than likely be personal preference. It's a shame that this format didn't come round a bit sooner as I would have loved to have seen the likes of Michael Bevan and Darren Lehmann playing this when they were at the top of their game.
I wouldn't even know where to start to pick a team...
-
Luke Wright???!!

An all time team is an interesting ask. I think possibly the following:
Adam Gilchrist
Chris Gayle
Tillakeratne Dilshan
Viv Richards
Garry Sobers
Imran Khan
Ian Botham
Wasim Akram
Michael Holding
Waqar Younis
Shane Warne
-
Ah forgot sobers doh!!
With big birds Yorkers he's a must for me possibly best Yorker bowler I've seen
-

better than Wasim and Waqar? I'm not sure about that - and his Montyesque fielding counted against him as well for me.
-
Interesting that noone has named Brian Lara or Javed Miandad in heir sides. Lara is an odd one - a great player, but I'm not sure his style would have worked in the shortest form, whereas Miandad was a master at manipulating the field who might have fitted well into the game...
-
Or Tendulkar, Ganguly, Jayasuria, Kalu, Aravinda Da Silva. All would've flourished in modern t20
-
I've picked wasim
I remember watching vids etc and his Yorkers were unreal coming from 12ft high and rarely missing
I could hide him at fine leg
-
Just watched a documentry on sky that i recorded on Don Bradman, i may have to stick him in the side with a modern day bat. I reckon that would have been a great site to see. If he could avg 99 with what they used then, what would he avg now a days!
-
1. Viv Richards
2. Chris Gale
3. Sachin Tendulkar
4. Brian Lara
5. Ian Botham
6. Adam Gillcrist
7. Shane Warne
8. Wasim Akram
9. Malcom Marshall
10. Joel Garner
11. Murili

Not so sure about Da Silva. He's a bit like Inzamam and Jayasuriya. He'll get you runs but always the potential for a run-out.
-
Possibly Mascarenhas? Always has a good economy when i see him bowling for hampshire in T20's and can swing his bat prettyyyyy hard
-
Gayle
Hafeez
Watson
McCullum
Morgan
Kohli
Samuels
Pollard
Gul
Ajmal
Malinga
-

Ganguly has struggled with his strike rate in t20 cricket but he is a bit old!
Gayle
Hafeez
Watson
McCullum
Morgan
Kohli
Samuels
Pollard
Gul
Ajmal
Malinga
Would be tempted to pick AB over mccullum. Think sobers would definitely fit right into any t2P side!
-
no underwood, trumper or Jessop? you guys need a history lesson.
I would be tempted to pick that Aussie chap, what's his name, you know the best batsman ever? oh yes. bradman.
actually he is my first pick.

Oh that guy... Think I remember him vaguely ;)
-
Dr Grace might be a useful addition too.
-
bradman
viv
Jessop
Gilchrist
Grace
Sobers
Botham
Lillee
Marshall
Warne
Underwood

I'd like to squeeze Garner in there somewhere...

he can pick the ball out of the high, hard to reach places when Gilbert Jessop starts peppering the top tier of Eden gardens... ;)
-
Grace would have the umpires on his side so he'd be the most important inclusion!!
-
I think one player who probably won't make a list of 'the greats' but would have shone in T20 had he been around to play in it would have been Lance Klusener
