In this xi I am choosing an all-time team comprising the best match-winners.I may have excluded greater players but here players just chosen on ability as match-winners.
My all-time test xi of match-winners excluding pure statistics
1.Barry Richards-
2.Virendra Sehwag
3.Viv Richards
4.Don Bradman
5.Inzamam Ul Haq
6.Gary Sobers
7.Adam Gilchrist
8.Imran Khan
9.Richard Hadlee
10.Shane Warne
11.Malcolm Marshall
all-time test xi on pure statistics as match-winners
1.Jack Hobbs
2.Len Hutton
3.Don Bradman
4.Steve Waugh
5.Inzamam Ul Haq
6.Gary Sobers
7.Adam Gilchrist
8.Imran Khan
9.Richard Hadlee
10.Shane Warne
11.Glen Mcgrath
Excluding pure statistics Viv Richards makes it as well as Barry Richards and Virendra Sehwag.Can't think of batsmen who can so dramatically change the complexion of game like a reversal of plot in an epic novel.Adam Gilchrist joins them but also with statistics that choose him .Hadlee and Imran were great match-winners as fast -bowling all-rounders.Inzamam's and Waugh's records select them.Marshall made a major contribution in West Indies becoming a superpower in test cricket and would edge Mcgrath as he was more explosive or dynamic.On pure stas Hobbs,Hutton,Steve Waugh and Glen Mcgrath make the all-time match-winners xi.Bradman was simply a unanimous choice with his staggering records.The likes of Dale Steyn Dennis Lillee,Wasim Akram,Brian Lara and Sachin Tendulkar just miss out here.Readers should refer to my previous articles on records of players as match-winners.
