There's your top 6.

T Chappell 12th man

 

[Truckosaurus]

Shaun and Mitch, naturally.

 

[Dazzler9]

Remember that joke when the Aussie team had Mitchells Starc, Marsh and Johnson, plus Shaun Marsh?

So there were 3 Mitchells, 2 Marshes, 2 Mitchell non-Marshes, 1 non-Mitchell Marsh, and 1 Mitchell Marsh. Plus 6 non-Mitchell non-Marshes.

Well I found it funny.

 

[FKASC]

Coulter-Nile, Smarsh, the list goes on.

Don’t rate NCN that much anymore. Can be really handy but bowls too many pie overs at the death and gets spanked too often

 

[THE A5]

He is still a good bowler. I think he'd be a great 50 over bowler still but CA needs to have a contract overhaul so we don't lose guys like him and Lynn in the ODD game.

Gary Kirsten
Peter Kirsten
Ian Chappell
Graeme Pollock
Greg Chappell
Mark Waugh
Steve Waugh
Andy Flower (wk)
Richard Hadlee
Peter Pollock
Dayle Hadlee

12th Man: Grant Flower

Definitely short on the bowling department, but I think with the Waughs and Chappells there's decent coverage.

New Cricket XI Challenge

Pick a Siblings XI + 12th Man where you must pick 6 sets of siblings that have played international cricket. You must include both siblings

Can we go father son / family as well?

Solid lineup

If it were limited overs you could also consider some more recent brothers like the Bravos, Pandyas, Pathans, Currans
There really aren't many sibling combinations where 1 was a bowler and 1 was a batsman.

I feel like there are fewer Father/Son cricketers than sibling cricketers

Asking as I'd want Graeme and Shaun Pollock. Their best ever player and imo second best ever bowler.

 

[WCE_phil]

Reply also Lance and Chris Cairns

Graeme is not Shauns father, Peter Pollock is

 

[Tugga27]

Chris and Stuart Broad.

 

[FKASC]

Don’t forget Ashton and Wes

 

[Dazzler9]

Victor Richardson and the Chappells for the Grandfather/grandson combo.

Fold the warriors

Fold them again

Nathan & Brendon McCullum.

Nope, fold them. Dominated three days and still lost.

Awful

Nathan & Brendon McCullum.

Nathan's record wasn't that great though

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Terrible declaration. Could have just batted Tassie out of the match but instead they tried to go hard to start day 4, lost a few wickets, then stupidly declared with most of the day left, down a strike bowler since early in Tassie's innings, on a pitch that was a road for most of the match and wasn't showing any signs of breaking up.

Hanif and Mushtaq Mohammed unlucky. I’d have them ahead of the Kirstens.

If you bat a team out of it on the last day, they just block it out. You want to set an enticing total that encourages them to play shots and take a few risks.
It didn't work out today though.

Yep
At least they went for the outright.

Sometimes a team just plays well and beats you.
I'd much prefer this type of game to the other runfests we've been having.
