A throwing XI has to have Ian Meckiff in it.

Was Gilchrist's keeping good enough to be considered elite?

Personally I'd have Bradman in that side.
Could you find a spot for Michael Bevan in there as well?
Admittedly not a great record at test level.

Don't know about Bevan, but I'd have Grimmett over Colin Miller.

The 'Connect 2 Australians' XI
Bob Simpson
Bill Lawry
Don Bradman
Greg Chappell
Allan Border c
Keith Miller
Adam Gilchrist +
Alan Davidson
Shane Warne
Dennis Lillee
Glenn McGrath
This is the best AUS XI I could come up with where each member played at least 1 test with another member in the XI.
Bradman>Miller>Davidson>Simpson>Lawry>Chappell>Lillee>Border>Warne>McGrath>Gilchrist.
Lawry's final test was Lillee and Chappell's debut test allowing me to link the old generation to the modern.

Absolutely.
Fair enough. Right you are. I knew he was originally from Perth and thought he played for WA before playing for SA.

There have now been twelve World Cups which of course gives us twelve World Cup Man of the Match recipients. Put them together and it makes a fairly strong team as all but one of them went on to have a solid Test career. Putting them into a batting order and deciding who is twelfth man is slightly tricky as there are two specialist wicketkeepers and most of the bowling strength comes from all-rounders but it would still be a powerful team.

Not sure if this has been done yet. Should be fairly easy to work out.

Charles Bannerman stiff, should be in ahead of Rudolph. Bruce Taylor probably deserves a spot as well, only player to score a century and take 5 wicket son debut.
