So I saw the post of each countries world XI and somebody's post mentioned a lot of of players with the Surname that began with W. Which then got me thinking, which letter of the alphabet for the Surname only has the best ever XI and who would be in that side?
-
Bradman Botham Bevan Border Broad Benaud Boult is a pretty good 7
Bravo Buttler Ballance Bedi are the only others i can think of
Edit, Bell, Bairstow!
More edits, Boon, Boycott, Brearley, Bond, Boucher, Bishop
This is fun
-
The B's have a pretty decent side!!
-
Chanderpaul, Croft, Cronje, Cairns, Crowe, Close, Cook, Caddick, Cowdrey, Chappel, Chappel, Clarke
C's have some good names too.
-
I saw the title and thought of w immediately
Walcott
Worrall
Weekes
M Waugh
S Waugh
Warne
Williamson
Willis
White
Wardle
Waqar (cheeky, but that was the name on his shirt)

Cronje
C's have some good names too.

Being disgraced doesn't mean he wasn't a great player and captain ;)
Under him as skipper SA won series against every nation bar Aus, 99 wins from 138 ODI's is also very good.

Ed Giddins seems to be in remarkably illustrious company... batting down to 11 here (even without Graveney) though a bit thin in the spin department to say the least. I give you.. Ashley "Wheelie Bin" Giles :)

Giddins must know where the bodies are buried.

If we're allowed 15 players for the 'G' team,and giddins is getting the nod, I'm adding another four to my 'H'team...
Hoggard
Wes hall
Carl Hooper
Nasser Hussain

Surprised no-one has done the A's, pretty strong just with the first four names, a fearsome pace quartet!

Du Plessis could be your 11th, following the similar Afrikaner names you've already squeezed in ;)

Think there are a few household names from earlier generations who would feel disappointed at missing out... Peter May, keith Miller, Stan McCabe, Arthur Morris. And someone's going to have to bat out of position to open with marsh. Not the phantom, think he's got 11 to himself.
-
Felix you missed the other Flintoff twin Freddie :D

Think you can strengthen the bowling with any of De Bijl, Daniel, Alan Davidson, Dilley, Doshi... And dujon for de Kock perhaps?
-

To strengthen the bowling, Fanie De Villers perhaps?
