Big-hitter Jake Fraser-McGurk will go to the Twenty20 World Cup as a reserve batsman for the Australia squad. Fraser-McGurk's eye-catching IPL scoring has been…
Australia and New Zealand first played Test cricket against each other in 1946. The two trans-Tasman neighbours have met on a regular basis since 1973.
New Zealand had some great results against Australia in the mid 80s, although it would be fair to say that Australia was demoralised by the rebel tours of South Africa during this period.
Both countries have produced some great players over the years: Chappell, Lillee, Hadlee, Crowe, Border, Vettori, Smith, McGrath, Warne….the list goes on.
But what if the two nations combined to form a ‘Trans-Tasman XI?’
This team is made up of players that dominated Trans-Tasman cricket since 1973.
THE TRANS TASMAN XI:
1. Matthew Hayden (Aust)
2. John Wright (NZ)
3. Martin Crowe (NZ)
4. Allan Border (Aus)
5. Greg Chappell (Aus)
6. Sir Richard Hadlee (NZ)
7. Adam Gilchrist (Aus)
8. Shane Warne (Aus)
9. Dennis Lillee (Aus)
10. Ewan Chatfield (NZ)
11. Glenn McGrath (Aus)
12th man: Ricky Ponting (Aus)
