inspired by Andersons achievement what would your lifetime Favourite England Cricket Team be?
mine
Strauss
Cook
Graham Thorpe
Root
Derek Randall
Ian Botham
Alan Knott
Broad
Bob Willis
Anderson
Derek Underwood
Struggled over the No 3 spot could have gone Atherton, or moved Root up and gone Peiterson
For the keeper Ive gone with the best keeper, but if I wanted a keeper/batsman I would have gone Buttler or Geraint Jones as a compromise
All rounder Flintoff, Stokes or Botham was a tough one to!!

You've left out Hobbs, Hutton and Larwood.

Remember watching that live, he only backed up 3 or 4 feet and Randall still got him, unbelievable fielding | | | |

Randall was an amazing fielder and that was a match winning run out.
Have you heard the TMS talking to Lillee and then Thompson about which batsman they least liked bowling to?
it was very funny and ended with them saying they always catch up for a drink with him when there's a test match in Nottingham | |

That was because of the centenary test in Melbourne when he scored a big hundred. No helmet, lillee I think hit him on the head with a bouncer and Randall just laughed at him. Boycott said in a book of his that lillee wouldn’t believe Randall wasn’t wearing head protection under his cap until Randall showed him the cap in the dressing room, and the lump on his head! | | | |

Thompson tried to wind him up, but Randall got the better of him in the verbals, making the Aussie fielders laugh rather a lot. Thommo lost it and a couple of lose balls ended up in the pavilion!!
If I was putting a world 11 together it would have to include David Boon, not sure if its apocryphal but one of the Aussie commentators was reported as delivering the line "and there is the short backward square David Boon, fielding at short leg" | |

I did consider Russell for my keeping spot but Knott got the edge based on me having seen him in one series on TV before he retired. Alec Stewart was also strongly considered.
I like the Gooch/Tres right-left hand partnership at top and the potential flyer that would give the team.
I was split with Flintoff/Stokes/Botham and couldn't choose so picked them all, probably at the expense of Willis or Harmison.
To be honest, the only shoe in in that side for me was probably Swann. | |

I did consider Tres.
Knotty was a fantastic keeper, as was Russell. Stewart was good but more 'functional' | |

I think your opening choice is better than mine, more personal reasons for me . I saw Gooch at Lords but he only got 18, saw Vaughan hit a sublime hundred live though and think his captaincy for the Ashes win 2005 tipped the scales for me. | |

Has Broad's batting stock plummeted that much to be below dear old Devon?! | |

Devon has to bat higher so the bowlers get time to wind him up.
(Or i couldn’t be @rsed reordering it as I typed) | |
