Sobers but I would have liked Lara to make the side and I think Faulkner is worthy of consideration if people want three specialist fast bowlers in the side as he provides a very good 2nd spin option.

 

[Fiery]

Gotta be Sobers

 

[andmark]

Sobbers.

 

[Days of Grace]

Sobers. I think this poll has a much use as the poll for No.3 batsman.

Sir Garfield Sobers

Not a hard choice TBH.

 

[neville cardus]

I believe that I've already given my vote to Sobers elsewhere, so, grudgingly, it goes Faulkner this time around.

Sir Garry Sobers

 

[Poker Boy]

Sir Garfield Sobers.

You could have still voted for Sobers.

 

[adharcric]

Sir Garry.

 

[neville cardus]

You could have still voted for Sobers.

I know, but I get bored rigid doing the same thing twice.

 

[cover drive man]

Urgh! Voted Lara but meant to vote Headley.

That's right! It extends to all matters -- not just those cricket-related.

Sobers - probably the best batsman on that list, so his bowling and fielding is just a not-inconsiderable bonus.

 

[bagapath]

went for sobers since i may choose barnes in place of the second spinner. sobers can provide spin support to murali or warne. of course, his batting alone could have clinched him a spot.

wait a minute... why am i even explaining his selection?

what is an all time xi without him?

 

[steve132]

Sobers for me. Bradman and Sobers are the only two players that I would consider to be automatic choices for any team for which they are eligible.

 

[Shaggy Alfresco]

Should've had Sobers at 5, then Imran at 6. Oh well.
