The all-time sub-continent Test XI best team of all time?

[Harsh Thakor]

Here I am analyzing how an all-time subcontinent test Xi would fare against all-time teams of other nations.

All time subcontinent test xi



Gavaskar

Sehwag

Dravid

Tendulkar

Miandad

Sangakaara (W)

Kapil Dev

Imran Khan (C)

Wasim Akram

Waqar Younus

Muriltharan















Alltime Australian Xi



Hayden

Morris

Bradman (C)

Greg Chappell

Steve Smith

Keith Miller

Adam Gilchrist (W)

Shane Warne

Dennis Lillee

Jeff Thomson

Glen Mcgrath







All-time West Indies XI





Greenidge

Haynes

Viv

Lara

Weekes

Sobers (C)

Dujon (W)

Marshall

Roberts

Ambrose

Holding





South Africa XI



Barry

Smith

Amla

Pollock

Kallis

Devilliers

Procter

Shaun Pollock

Steyn

Donald

Tahir





England XI



Hobbs

Hutton

Hammond

Pieterson

Compton

Botham

Flintoff

Knott

Trueman

Laker

Barnes





I would back the all-time subcontinent XI to triumph with more variety in bowling and greater batting depth.Not as attacking batsmen as the Kangaroos or Calypsos but better in terms of pure technique or craft in building an innings.Subcontinent XI has more all-rounders as well.Not as many match-winners but more balamced than nay other all time xi.Thus if one nation India-Pakistan-Sri lanka all-time team is probably the best test team of all time.

You need to add one more spinner ,may be spinning alrounder would be perfect in place of kapil

England XI


Hobbs
Hutton
Hammond
Pieterson
Compton
Botham
Flntoff
Knott
Trueman
Laker
Barnes

Concur overall but drop Flintoff and get a real strike bowler in - maybe Trueman's oppo Statham, or Snow, or maybe even Bob Willis.

Might drop Compo the HTB, and bring in PBH May who averaged a bit less but is the best pressure player to pull on an England shirt.

Underwood for Laker as he had more overseas success.

Hobbs
Hutton
Hammond
May (c)
Pieterson
Botham
Knott (w)
Statham
Trueman
Underwood
Barnes

how dare you not have stokes, root and broad or Andy in there?

what is Jason brian Statham doing in there.

 

[Ab Fan]

Is Imran Tahir the best you could find out in a SA all time test XI?

 

[Hitman]

Gavaskar
Sehwag
Kohli
Tendulkar
Dravid
Sangakkara (wk)
Laxman
Imran Khan
Wasim Akram
Waqar Younis
Muralitharan

how dare you not have stokes, root and broad or Andy in there? .

Because they are not as good as the guys who are.

Andy Sandham? Fine opener but not as good as Hobbs and Hutton.

stokes in for may.

barnes and Underwood swapped with broad and Andy.

what has Underwood ever achieved ?

 

[tyron_woodley]

underwood was again a SENA specialist like the overrated philander.

Barnes dint play enough and it wasn't a competitive era.
