Best English Cricket Team of all Time
Who would you pick for the greatest English cricket team of all time?
This is my choice.
This is my choice.
- Geoff Boycott. With over 8,000 test runs, Geoff Boycott would make a great choice as a steadying influence to get the innings off to a solid start. Don't know how Geoff would cope with 20 / 20. But, this is for greatest test team of all time
- Len Hutton. Just under 7,000 test runs at a very high average of 56. Making him one of the best test batters of all time.
- W.G.Grace. We have to make room for the father of modern cricket and the best all rounder of his generation
- Denis Compton. For style and grace, Denis Compton would make a great number 4. 5,800 runs at an average of over 50
- Ken Barrington. Edging out David Gower and or Peter May. Ken Barrington scored 6,800 runs at an average of 58
- Ian Botham. The best all rounder is given to Ian Botham. The statistics are impressive. But, in his prime Ian Botham could and did swing games with his talent and passion
- Alan Knott. Simply the best wicket keeper, making him a better choice than a batsman / wicketkeeper like Alec Stewart
- Fred Trueman. A fiersome fast bowler with over 300 test wickets
- Alec Bedser. One of the great spinners
- Jim Laker. Another great spinner.
- Bob Willis. - Over 320 wickets. Great speed and accuracy.

What about Wally Hammond?
Surely he gets in ahead of Boycott.
You really know your cricket,. ( I don't think ) Alec Bedser was a fine bowler, but I think he would have been surprised to hear he was a spinner. Bradman said he was the best medium pacer he ever faced.
Also no Sir Jack Hobbs?
