Your best cricket X1
Just for fun. The budget is a little low but you can still get a quality team.

Re: Your best cricket X1
Was going to have a go but got disgruntled at the sheer injustice of Sir Viv only being £2 and Kapil Dev having a higher value than IT Botham.

Have done it in batting order. Bit of a long tail but with that batting line up don't think it would matter!

There's a few you think could be the wrong way round, maybe they have gone off averages etc.. which don't always add up to how you remember them.welsbyswife wrote:Was going to have a go but got disgruntled at the sheer injustice of Sir Viv only being £2 and Kapil Dev having a higher value than IT Botham.

Flintoff 3
Gilchrist 5

Ambrose 3
Boult 1
Mcgrath 3
Solid top 4,some game changers in the middle order and plenty of wicket takers,if playing on a spinning track/sub continent i'd swap one of the quicks for Murali.

Re: Your best cricket X1
I'm happy with selecting the entire Glamorgan squad whoever they may be.
Not sure what I do with the spare 25 points.

Gilchrist £5
Ambrose £3
Lee £3
McGrath £3
Warne £3
Flintoff £3
Bell £1
Lara £5
Ponting £3
Smith £3
We simply wouldn’t need a Wildcard
With Smith and Lara opening followed by Ponting, Bell, Gilchrist, Flintoff, Warne I’d expect 600+.
Lee, McGrath, Flintoff, Ambrose, Warne is one hell of an attack.

But to have McGrath for a saving of £2 is quite enticing. Especially as you can match him up with warne for a total of £6Iloveyoubrady wrote:Can’t believe more people aren’t picking Anderson!!!

But light on the bowling, but I figured you’d win every T20 and ODI, and never lose a test. Plus, McGrath, Warne, Ambrose, Kallis, and a bit of part time bowling elsewhere should see you take 20 wickets most matches

Total Spend - 29
Wild Card Richard 2 - would replace Flintoff and then I would potentially upgrade Strauss to Smith - possibly slightly better captain, and would provide great fun seeing how he and Pietersen would get on in the same XI.
As others have said, Jimmy Anderson being 60% more expensive than McGrath rules him out in that category.
