1. Herbert Sutcliffe (better avg than Hobbs and Hutton) 2. Sunil Gavaskar (best opener of pre modern era) 3. Donald Bradman (best batsman of his time) 4. Sachin Tendulkar (best batsman of his time) 5. Viv Richards (best batsman of his time) 6. Garry Sobers (best batting allrounder) 7. Andy Flower (better than Gilchrist in keeping and batting avg) 8.

Really Good Team..but i would go with Sehwag in place of Gavaskar and Trueman or Lillee in place of Mc Grath. The reason is in World XI you pick guys who can win you matches. The most attacking players both Sehwag and Lillee.

Very rightly said. He will score century in drawn match, and when utmost needed he will be out by offering silly shot.

these all games are fixed and in britain pounds means 75 rupees is much bigger money is involved in fixing in fact every dropped catch is fixed and has big racket. Munaf Patel might be involved in spot or match fixing because he did not get any wicket in last innings even after he bowled 23 overs 138 balls however suresh raina got 2 in just 4 overs and raina is not regular bowler as munaf patel so match fixed

I too considered almost the same.. but preferred Imran to Akram.. Imran could've brought a better batting, fielding and leadership skills to the team.. but Wasim would've been a better bowler.. no doubt..
It is really dicy. Once you select such a dream team ,immdiate next question comes to my mind is who would be the next 11 players play against this team ?
