Only in One Day cricket- England all time XI vs NZ all-time XI?

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

England all time XI without their best ever player, Stokes?

I’d swap Lamb with Stokes and the answer is England.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Surprisingly I also think the current England and New Zealand teams are the best ever line ups to be representing the respective countries. The all time elevens of these countries would have at least 5 each from current squads.

 

[Justcrazy]

England will win 4 - 1 in a 5 match series , but these probably are not best all time XI , its arguable.

 

[Ab Fan]

Will be an excellent contest, tough to say who will win.

 

[Phantom Menace]

Call me a homer if you want I can't see that England batting line up standing up to the our bowlers at all. I feel we look much much stronger.

 

[Last Monetarist]

Minor quibbles about selection: such as Stokes in for perhaps Botham, and Guptill in for Astle.

Two excellent teams, but that New Zealand team has 3 excellent captains with Crowe being arguably the best, whereas England have none. For that reason alone, I expect England to lose.

 

[Slog]

Stokes?

 

[Ab Fan]

My all-time XI for both the teams in ODIs would be:-

New Zealand

Astle
Turner
Williamson
Crowe
Taylor
McCullum(wkt)
Cairns
Hadlee
Vettori
Bond
Boult

So agreed with NZ XI. For England, it will be:-

Trescrothik
Gooch(c)
Root
Pietersen
Stokes
Buttler(wkt)
Flintoff
Swann
Gough
Archer
Anderson
