After thinking about it over a few beers and ports, here is my world eleven of players I've SEEN in my lifetime. Chances are it might change, but this is the team I'd love to watch play.

(Damn you Richie for including someone you never saw play in a team that you stated was the team you'd "most like to see" play!)

Anyway, here is mine, in batting order;

Greenidge
Hayden
Ponting
Lara
S Waugh (c)
Imran Khan
Gilchrist
Warne
Hadlee
Ambrose
McGrath

Apologies to Tendulkar, Donald and some others.

Great team you picked.

Did you consider LILLIE and VIV RICHARDS ?

Here's my team (I've been watching cricket since the mid 60s)

Barry Richards
Sunil Gavaskar
Brian Lara
Viv Richards
Sacchin Tendulkar
Allan Border
Adam Gilchrist
Shane Warne
Wasim Akram
Dennis Lillee
Michael Holding
12th Ricky Ponting

I saw Garry Sobers but not at his best, otherwise he would have been in the team.

I never really "saw" Lillee....

Richards is an afterthought ... in fact I would put him in place of Steve Waugh ... (it's MY team!)

Several batsmen didnt see Lillie either!!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine Mcgrath but about 20 ks quicker and
you get Lillie.
