England cricket team of the decade 09:45 - Dec 22 with 562 views

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/50821752

Mine was:

Cook
Strauss
Bell
Root
KP
Stokes
Bairstow
Woakes
Swann
Broad
Anderson

Think a lot of the team picks itself. Main areas of contention for me were Bell or Trott at 3, who keeps wicket (Prior and Buttler the other options) and who is the third seamer. Woakes has a decent enough average and can add some useful runs so that edged him in for me.

Some interesting choices.

The hardest choice was Trott or Bell at three. I want Trott for his grit and ability to bat time and annoy the hell out of the oppo.
Bell would have been at 5 but how can you ignore KP!

Sorry, missed that thread!

As you say, the consensus is/was that the team pretty much picks itself. In the 1980/90s there would have been about 300 players to pick from!

Finn (at his 2010-11 peak) would edge it for me. Wasn’t the worst tail ended either. For Woakes that is

COngratulations to Herbie for including the term 'Cricket' in the title though. Hammy's title could have referred to any sport.

Ergo Herbie's must be the definitive thread for this.

I thought you were trying to be cheeky and knock my thread into the long grass!!

Cheeky monkey....

	Assumption is to make an ass out of you and me. Those who assume they know you, when they don't are just guessing. Those who assume and insist they know are daft and in denial. Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid. Those who assume, insist, deny the truth and tell YOU they know you (when they don't) have an IQ in the range of 35-49.
