The All Time Greatest Australian XI

Thanks inca for your team. I note that from the official Team of the Century named in 2000, you have substituted Ponting and S Waugh for G Chappell and Harvey. In my opinion - and this is all subjective after all -- Ponting is a deserved addition, but S Waugh did not further his reputation as a batsman enough since that time to warrant inclusion. Of recent players, I believe that Ponting, Hayden (instead of Morris), Gilchrist (instead of Healy) and possibly McGrath (instead of Lindwall) should be considered. (By the way, another often-forgotten fast man is Alan Davidson, who took 186 wickets in 44 tests with a significantly better average and economy than even McGrath) Hence, here is my team, with a hefthy injection of modernity!

1. Bill Ponsford
2. Matt Hayden
3. Donald Bradman
4. Ricky Ponting
5. Greg Chappell
6. Keith Miller
7. Adam Gilchrist
8. Shane Warne
9. Dennis Lillee
10. Glenn McGrath
11. Bill O'Reilly

it will be worthless to predict the greatest Australian Team.

I am sure The Australia will always be greatest cricket team it doesnt matter who is in team or not.

hmm...
Clearly "Demon" Spofforth, Vic Trumper, Archie Jackson et al are handicapped by their age. Though I basically agree with your team Jimbo, with qualifications. Bradman should be at four with either Ponting or Chappell at first drop. Davidson should be in at eight as his batting brings a better balance to the side.

Greatest Team Ever

I think this is a bit tougher to pick, and should provide more controversy.

1. Jack Hobbs
2. Barry Richards
3. Sachin Tendulkar
4. Don Bradman
5. Garfield Sobers
6. Imran Khan
7. Adam Gilchrist (wk)
8. Richard Hadlee
9. Shane Warne
10. Michael Holding
11. Muttiah Muralitharan

With Symonds or Neil Harvey as twelfth man (best fielder of all time), and Holding and Hadlee opening the bowling.

There, that should set the cat amongst the pigeons.

WASIM AKRAM
