Past Test World XI selection

no virat kohli in current playing world XI , thats a shame and yasir shah makes 12th man ahead of him, thats a nice joke

[@AamirKhan-dm8cv]

Especially no Younis Khan among the finest batsmen in history, extremely consistent across all 4 Innings of a Test Match which is a massive shocker. All Pakistani Cricketers are extremely underrated unless your name is a certain Wasim Akram who is the only player who is immune to this problem, for others forget about including you in their favourite teams nobody gives a damn about you, nobody even mentions your name no matter how great a player you are, whether you are Waqar Younis, Imran Khan, Hanif Mohammad, Mushtaq Mohammad, Zaheer Abbas, Saeed Anwar, Inzamam ul Haq, Mohammad Yousuf, Younis Khan, Fazal Mahmood, Iqbal Qasim, Saeed Ajmal, Javed Miandad, Mushtaq Ahmed, Saqlain Mushtaq, even Yasir Shah will join this list of unlucky players who are simply forgotten. Finest Cricketers in history of Pakistan Cricket.

Its difficult to argue against any of those and Imran, Sanga, Murli, Dravid and Ponting needs a mention too.

[@sujaydey8958]

Yeah that's what I feel even if you see the cricket between 1990-2007 and compare with 2007-till now you will find that the difference in quality lowered all over the world. There is hardly any bowler of bowling 150kmph in today's world cricket and there is hardly any player can tackle challenging wickets so overall I feel the quality of cricket is the lowest of all time in this era

[@dennisdegouveia5439]

Arvindh Mani agreed. From the current team I see 4 world class test players there and that's Amla, AB, Steyn and Anderson. I'll explain why I'm happy with those 4: Amla: true, patient player. Will dog out an innings and be the rock against any attack. AB: natural, gifted and flair. Averaging over 50 and counter attacks better than anybody else in the world. Arguably the greatest batsman of our generation (alongside Kohli who should also be I the current XI) Steyn: for me the greatest bowler of our generation. Unbelievably fit when he's not injured and can come in and seam the ball, reverse the ball and bowl at 145km/h+ Anderson: swings both ways, great record. For me, like I said above, you've got to have Kohli in there as well. The rest still have a lot to show and are definitely only there on current form. Fair shout to Warner, Root, Williamson and Stokes but I think they still need to do more before they truly cement their spot in that team. I refuse to accept Smith in that Current XI because the Past XI bowling attack would end his career the way he moves so much.

Yes I agree I have no doubt that Kohli is a very good player How great who know s as yet. The competition is very strong Hutton Compton Hammond Bradman Hobbs Gavasker Pointing Sanga and so on...

​@@smrutiranjanchhotaray5438The greatest test playing 11 of all time.

[@damselfish834]

Absolutely criminal that McGrath isn’t there. They were talking about height and went for Curtly Ambrose, who is only 2 inches taller than McGrath. Also one of the brightest wicket-takers ever.

[@mcdelive]

Another Joke of a selection.... How come you leave out Sobers and Muralitharan for All time World XI? And even likes of Sangakkara and Viv Richards be in the team ahead of Kallis or Hayden..!

[@nyorm6696]

mcdelive or Sehwag

[@BharatSingh-wy9lw]

mcdelive shut up stupid

[@UM55555]

Viv was best in odi not test. Only sehwag is the one which cud have been replaced with gavaskar

[@iankemp8535]

It sure illustrates does it not mcdelive, that you cannot logically just select 11 out of 120 years of cricket.. There are too many great players.. maybe select 4 or 5 11s from each era to play against each other My 11 would be Hobbs Hutton Bradman Compton Tendulker Sobers Miller Gilchrist Truman Warne MulleriI bet it would take some beating it has everything another 11 would be Sutcliffe Gavasker Lara Richards Hammond Sangakkara Botham Ambrose Marshall Laker verity. one could go on and pick another 11 to include such greats as Hadlee May De villiers Kallis ect ect see what I mean by 120 years of cricket . ??

[@iankemp8535]

Mate there are no joke selection Mc there is the simple fact that you cannot just select just 11 great player s from 120 years of cricket...

[@Tomriddle19948]

where is sanath jayasuriya ??

[@SimranSingh-ix4wk]

where is virat ,murali, steyn playing 11 without virat imposible

[@Haasherbajwa77]

Hahaha kohli he cant play overseas let only in the old era bowling

[@milanshiv]

5,000 subs with no videos .. absolutely

[@karthikeyanmohan6520]

lolzz funny guys...do u guys have the same opinion now? about Virat

[@thechinmoydeka]

Karthikeyan Mohan Impossible to say that now.

[@bhargavkashyap454]

5,000 subs with no videos overseas means what???did u check kohli's recent performance in SA??

[@jermonecrichton8315]

what about sir Richard Hadlee or Glenn McGrath

[@aadityasonawane629]

I'm going to pick the players that I know well and the ones I've watched growing up. 1. Matthew Hayden 2. Virender Sehwag 3. Sachin Tendulkar 4. Virat Kohli/ Jacques Kallis 5. Ricky Ponting 6. Brian Lara 7. Kumar Sangakkara 8. Wasim Akram 9. Shane Warner 10. Glenn McGrath 11. Muttiah Muralitharan And there's Kohli there because.. well let's just say I've time traveled😅

[@iankemp8535]

Come on at least you are honest when you say from your era

[@nyknick7528]

Im old school aswell and west indian so my list Chris gayle Mathew Hayden Ricky pointing Brain lara Sachin tendukar Jaques khaliss Ghilcrhist Wasim akram Shane warne Curtley ambrose McGrath

[@McMoidart]

For balance you better play Kallis over Kohli to give your team a fifth bowler. Before anyone questions me, I do not consider Tendulkar a fifth bowling option.

[@WSTRNS]

Kohli still should not be in any world 11 of test, not that he isn't worthy but there are more worthy batsman. 3. Sir Don 4. SRT 5. Lara these 3 are still untouched. then u have to put an all rounder and a WK at no 6-7. so VK have no chance.

[@shobhitsoni6449]

from this era may be only smith can make world 11 its impossible for kohli to make world all time test 11

[@sudhakarpanguluri4595]

where is muralitharan

[@wizkid3295]

I cannot believe they didn't choose the highest wicket taker in tests muralidaran and one of the greatest test batsmen in our genaration sangakkara to this team. Makes me sad.

[@99TJS1]

Murali isn't a name that many people would throw in solely because his record is inflated by versing BD and ZIM so many times. Not to mention the fact his action would not be accepted today. Warne at Lord's was unstoppable though.

[@ganjiramarao8623]

sangakkara bats that is at dons place..only one spinner playing so that shld be Warne.

[@UM55555]

Bcz both of them fckd BD and other asian teams, warne performed everywhere. Sehwag cud have been replaced by gavaskar easily. Sanga scored his prime form after 2008-09, when top bowlers retired or lost form. Morever he cudnt be put at no 3 when u got don bradman, same happened with dravid

[@iankemp8535]

I tend to agree of the modern batsman Sangakkara is up there.

[@sw1138]

Hayden smith sangakarra tendulkar kallis ponting Gilchrist warne Pollock akram mcgrath

[@frasergibson5763]

He has an agressor and a defender as openers. Plus, you can't argue with 9000+ test runs

[@Bsvans77]

Wtf smith doin here

[@samfelmingham2443]

Where the hell is don bradman

[@tommarshall9151]

Sam Felmingham yeah you can't not have Bradman in a best XI

[@ethanwilliam7793]

Wait where is The Don

[@Hamza16561]

Why not Murli?

[@dannythompson2712]

Bradman, Hobbs, Lara, Tendulkar, Richards, Botham, Knott, Warne, Akram, Lillee, Ambrose

[@iankemp8535]

I would add Hutton and Compton I think that Keith Miller was a far greater allrounder than Botham .. Trueman was probably a better bowler than Lillie also I think .. Hammond was one of England's greatest players if you are going back to to 1930/40s Personally I think that it is not possible to really pick a team from over one hundred years of first class cricket . There are simply far to many great players . So the best way is to pick the best players for each era say 10 to 20 years

[@iankemp8535]

Add Hutton Compton Hammond Lindwall Miller Trueman but as I say it is not possible to select just 11 great players from 120 years of Cricket,, there are to many.

[@nendukanni5483]

where is ponting

[@tibetanspiderman3072]

Without Dravid at three is like no wall in this team

[@shivanshutripathy5349]

But there's a bradman.

[@PranavJoshi6687]

Dude no one can stand in the shade of Bradman.

[@mizofan]

Sobers remains greatest all rounder. He was a more devastating attacking batsman than Kallis, he didn't play the likes of Bangladesh and Zimbabwe to boost his average and he kept bowling whereas Kallis was not so much an all-rounder in later years (his test bowling average would have declined). Kallis and Barnes are the best to play for Wales.

[@shaileshchaharmaths7939]

Sehwag Hayden Ponting(C) Tendulkar Lara kallis Sangakkara Akram Warne Brett Lee McGrath

[@iankemp8535]

All over the last 20 years Shailesh You need to update your cricket history. It is a futile exercise to try to pick 11 players from a 120 years of cricket. You are illustrating that with your selections good some of them were.

[@Abhinaba2207]

My Dream XI: Gavaskar Tendulkar Ponting Richards (c) Lara Sobers Kallis Gilchrist (wk) Akhram Warne McGrath 12th Man: (Ganguly)

[@mcdelive]

Main XI: Sehwag, Tendulkar, Bradman, Viv Richards, Lara, Sangakkara(wk), Sobers, Akram, Marshall, Murali, McGrath. 1st Reserves XI: Hayden, Gavaskar, Ponting, Dravid, Miandad, Kallis, Gilchrist(wk), Warne, Steyn, Ambrose, Garner 2nd Reserves XI: Hobbs, G.Smith, Y.Khan, Jayawardene, Inzamam, Waugh, Dhoni(wk), R.Hadlee, Kumble, Waqar, Lillee

[@frasergibson5763]

The fact that Sangakkara didn't play his whole career as a wk is the only reason he gets overlooked as wk. If he hadn't given up the gloves, he was easily better than Gilly

[@Rockstarikjs]

dhoni ?????

[@NicolasAlly]

Mine would trash yours 1.L Hutton 2.B Richards 3.Don Bradman 4.G Headley 5.G Pollock 6.G Sobers 7.C Walcott 8.B O Reilly 9. S Barnes 10.G Lohmann 11.J.J Ferris

[@iankemp8535]

How could you leave out the real greats such as Hutton Hammond Compton Lindwall Miller Laker Bedser

[@iankemp8535]

YOU COULD ALSO INCLUDE THE GENIUS THAT WAS Denis Compton his record was phenomenal 64 centuries between 1946 and 1950 over 500 wickets 12 test centuries averaging over 70 at that time ...also managed to play foot ball for Arsenal . Despite losing 6 years of the war and not playing any ware near the amount of test cricket they do now he still scored over 123 centuries over 39000 runs and nearly 6000 runs averaging over 50 . A true sporting hero who could on his day take any bowler apart. Love to have seen him against Mulerie and Warne . He was also very charismatic charming . Than another genius Keith Miller a member of the really great Australian side a allrounder far greater than Botham both as a bowler very fast and dangerous.. could turn a match in a couple of overs . On his day a magnificent batsman .
