This is really hard because there's always that one more player you want to fit in, however this is what I've gone for;

Hobbs
Herbert Sutcliffe
Bradman
Tendulkar
S Waugh (c)
Sobers
Knott
Warne
Holding
Marshall
Roberts

12th man- Lara

As I said really really hard to pick 11 players out of so many brilliant players that have graced Test cricket

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Captians?! What about MB.
And does the 11 not also depend on where they would play?

You can pick a captain if you want, and no, not really. Hopefully the all time test team should be because they are half decent wherever they play.

In an 'all time test xi'. I guess that is tongue in cheek?

I find it hard to include players I've never seen play, so the likes of hobbs and sutcliffe wouldn't get in my team. I'm going with:

1. Boycotte
2. Hayden
3. Lara
4. Tendulkar
5. Kallis
6. Botham
7. Prior (was racking my brains for a keeper and then decided, he's actually pretty awesome at the minute)
8. Warne
9. Courtney Walsh
10. Glenn McGrath
11. Curtly Ambrose
