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!

Or Tendulkar, Ganguly, Jayasuria, Kalu, Aravinda Da Silva. All would've flourished in modern t20

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.

Ganguly has struggled with his strike rate in t20 cricket but he is a bit old!

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.

Dr Grace might be a useful addition too.

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
