CBF all time test XI
« on: July 19, 2011, 07:47:19 AM »
In light of the apparent sub continental bias towards an all time best test team. Maybe we should have our own vote to see. Pick your best 12 players and I will collate the results at the end of play next Friday to see how th two teams differ.

4 batsman
2 all rounders
1 wicket keeper
4 bowler
12th man

Oh, and Viv Richards as 12th man!

A few left wing choices there, I was tempted just to pick 4 of the West Indies finest quickies, but felt Warne and McGrath had to be in there somewhere. Also couldn't choose between Healy, Knott, Les Ames, Godfrey Evans, and a couple of others for keepers. All-rounders were shoe-ins in my opinion, but I would have loved to have seen Clive Rice and Mike Procter play a few more test matches...

12th Man - Barry Richards (as he could be the best player never to play a prolonged period of test cricket with an average of nearly 75, over 4 tests admittedly). Of course, he could have been rubbish after that but somehow I doubt it.
