A few years ago, Richie Benaud selected his best team of all time. In other words, ‘My Greatest XI’. Well, I’ve done the same thing as well.
Selecting a side made up of players from all eras of the game is not easy, especially when you need to rely on footage you’ve seen of old players or cricket books you’ve read in the past to select the team.
I’ve selected two teams to play against each other in a ‘Dream’ Test match, to be played at the MCG.
Anyway, enough of the formalities, here’s my teams:
THE GREATEST XI
1. Jack Hobbs (Eng)
2. Sir Leonard Hutton (Eng)
3. Sir Donald Bradman (Aus-c)
4. Sir Vivian Richards (WI)
5. Wally Hammond (Eng)
6. Sir Garfield Sobers (WI)
7. Adam Gilchrist (Eng)
8. Shane Warne
9. Malcolm Marshall (WI)
10. Dennis Lillee (Aus)
11. Glenn McGrath (Aus)
12th man: Keith Miller (Aus)
Here’s the 2nd XI to take on The Greatest XI:
THE GREATEST XI Team 2
1.Desmond Haynes (WI)
2.Herbert Sutcliffe (Eng)
3.Sachin Tendulkar (Ind)
4.Allan Border (Aus)(c)
5.Martin Crowe (NZ)
6.Sir Richard Hadlee (NZ)
7.Rodney Marsh (Aus)
8.Derek Underwood (Eng)
9.Michael Holding (WI)
10.John Snow (Eng)
11.Fred Trueman (Eng)
12th man: Harold Larwood (Eng)
