I fully agree with Boycott. The voting goes to show the ignorance of the majority of the voters about cricket history. To top it, it all the more shows that ICC does not even bother to look at quality of decisions. Or is it a willful activity to please somebody? SPARKNIM
If you go for online votes, it will happen its obvious. Nothing to count on it because india has huge population. So you Old age people sit and select all best XI. thats simple.
The team is not selected by experts. It is selected by mostly modern cricket fans who have't seen vivian Richards or Sunil Gavaskar for that matter Garry sobers or Goel Garner. The present day cricket fans don't even know Bradman, but his comparisons with Sachin Tendulker ( may be more than his average or 99.94)made people get curious about don. This is present day people's team. Not all time greatest as icc calls
A team without Viv Richards, Gary Sobers and Ian Botham is ridiculous indeed. Being an Indian it seems Indians voted most in this online selection. Imran Khan should have been the captain. Gavaskar, Sehwag and Sachin desrve their places in the team.

Gibe me a break. tell me a player who should not have been there. Instead taking all the names in the world tell me the names that should have been omitted.

He is just jealous. Instead of just saying who should be there he should have also said as to in whose place they should have been there.
