@MN5 Five specialist bowlers?
While we are on it you can't include Dujon in any conversation about best keepers when he rarely kept to spinners
Lara was nowhere near as compelling to watch as the Master Blaster who basically wrote the script Lara followed.
I also think Sir Paddles wouldn't make an all time XI

How dare you come on a forum and not agree with my team 100%, who do you think you are ?

If a spinner is needed it's a toss up between Warnie and
Murali. No one else comes close.Edited to exclude chuckers
You’re such an Aussie.
His action was cleared at the time however dodgy it looked

Might be a bit late to reopen the investigation and have his 800 wickets expunged from the record books to be fair

fair play - they found when they tested that actions that looked clean actually had significant flex/bend.
Murali could bowl his arsenal in a cast. I'm good with that.

You'll remember he DID actually serve time.

Muralis record is absolutely fucken ridiculous on paper. He took TWENTY TWO ten wicket hauls.
Quite a number of great bowlers didn’t take one ( Joel Garner, Bob Willis, Jeff Thomson among others )

Punishment by the same organisation that allowed Murali to play. So Murali's ok as well then?
It is fascinating to see people's response to him - he is a classic wedge issue; you're either on one side or t'other.
Ridiculous bowler. His flexibility was nuts - there was a photo of him holding his own forearm. -

Of course he is. Just that he'll never be as good in my eyes as any non-chucker.
Do I think he was good? Sure.
Do I think the ICC is run by the subcontinent to suit themsleves? Absolutely.
Do I get tired of certain members of world cricket screaming "RACIST!!!" whenever they don't like something? Fkn oath. -
NZ triple centurions are on odd bunch. Sutcliffe and Turner obviously class. I know bugger all about Roger Blunt. Mark Richardson and Devon Conway, both good, on the cusp of great. But then you have Ken Rutherford, Dean Brownie, Peter Fulton, Michael Papps and now Tom Bruce. All decent players, but none really set the world alight when given the chance at higher honours.
