Which letter has the best XI
« on: September 15, 2016, 05:10:40 PM »
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

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  :)
