With the international cricket season in full swing, I thought it’d be a good idea to select an Australian side to play against a World XI from the period 1975-2008 in a hypothetical Test match, which would be played at the MCG.
The teams are:
AUSTRALIA
Matthew Hayden (Qld)
David Boon (Tas)
Greg Chappell (Qld)
Allan Border (NSW/Qld-capt)
Mark Waugh (NSW)
Steve Waugh (NSW)
Adam Gilchrist (WA)
Shane Warne (Vic)
Dennis Lillee (WA)
Brett Lee (NSW)
Glenn McGrath (NSW)
Ricky Ponting (Tas) (12th man)
WORLD XI
Sunil Gavaskar (India)
Desmond Haynes (West Indies)
Sir Vivian Richards (West Indies)
Michael Vaughan (England-capt)
Martin Crowe (New Zealand)
Sir Richard Hadlee (New Zealand)
Alan Knott (England)
Bishan Bedi (India)
Michael Holding (West Indies)
Joel Garner (West Indies)
Courtney Walsh (West Indies)
Sachin Tendulkar (India) (12th man)
Do you agree with these selections? And who would win the test match if it was played?
