Cricinfo All-time sides

[smithy]

I may be a bit cynical here but is there any Aussies that would feature in a current world's best 11 going around atm, in either ODI's or tests?

Cameron White would definitely feature in the ODI XI.

Struggling with the others, maybe Hauritz.

Agreed with White, Hauritz though, what format?

Sorry Lightning, I should've chucked in some smilies on the Hauritz comment.
I doubt he's even in NSW best XI at the moment.

IMHO it would be (regardless of whether I've satisfied the different categories) -


Matthew Hayden
Bill Ponsford
Donald Bradman
Ricky Ponting
Allan Border
Greg Chappell
Adam Gilchrist
Keith Miller
Shane Warne
Dennis Lillee
Glenn McGrath

I like this side. I think now, with the way the side is playing, that maybe Alan Davidson instead of either Chappell or Border would give the side more balance (Miller to 6, Gilchrist 7, Davidson 8 ), but then remember back to when Warne and McGrath were playing and 4 bowlers was always enough. I guess Chappell and Border could fill in for a few overs with their part-timers.

Great thread. Have only just read through it. Long live cricket in its pure form!
