It's a hard task actually, I wanted to include Steve Smith in my starting 11 but after um'ing and ah'ing I went with Ponting, who in his prime and like Mathew Hayden, was an utterly fantastic batsman to watch, so for me, this pipped Smith.
Yes Michael Holding was on my mind too as was Thomo and Joel Garner, but as is the nature of these silly exercises, it is hard to choose, can't have everyone
Ron, I was only picking from the eras I have watched, ie. from about 1979, an
all time team would obviously include Bradman (oh and it was 99.94 ave)
Matt, should have said, Test team
All a bit of fun imagining
Mike
