The concept of if a team was playing all three formats on the same day, what would be the best XIs
I've done all nine main Test playing nations, as best as I cant (hmm Bangladesh)
I've thrown this in here, rather than create a new thread as I didn't think this was thread worthy and didn't know how much activity this would generate

I mean in the sense of having to spread the players across all formats shows we're a bit thinner for talent than I assumed.

Oh, my bad.

 

[Gough]

How is it that after the last two years Head isn't in our Test best XI?

 

[eth-dog]

How is it that after the last two years Head isn't in our Test best XI?

I think it's more that he's a better one day player

 

[big_e]

How is it that after the last two years Head isn't in our Test best XI?

Players can't be in more than one side, which makes for some interesting selections. Josh Hazlewood is another - ranked top ten in the world in all three formats, which one do you select him in?

Players can't be in more than one side, which makes for some interesting selections. Josh Hazlewood is another - ranked top ten in the world in all three formats, which one do you select him in?

I originally tried to split the the big 3 to anchor each bowling attacks, but moved Hazlewood to ODI because I had too many T2OI options that I didn't think would work in the ODI team.

Shows why England cricket are in such a good place at the moment, current World champions in both limited overs formats and will more than likely pick up the ashes in the summer

A lineup that could feasibly be an actual test match XI in the near future:

Lees
Burns
Pope
Root
Brook
Stokes (c)
Foakes (wk)
Broad
Woakes
Wood
Leach

Players who started as one thing and became another:
Need another middle order player - preferably a bowler who became a batsman

1. Tom Blundell (wk) - recency bias. Reserve keeper stuck behind a good one in BJ Watling. Stuck at the top of the order as there is literally no other option and makes a ton.
2. Ravi Shastri - Takes 125 wickets and averages 33 with the bat as a middle order all rounder. Basically Stops bowling for the last quarter of his career and averages 44 opening the

3. Steve Smith - leg spinner cum batsman
4. Thilan Samaraweera - nearly 400 first class wickets at 25, iirc was picked as a bowler to start. Averaged 48 with the bat and hardly bowled
5.
6. Andrew Symonds - picked as a bitser with bat and seam, turned his hand to offspin
7. Vettori - started as a good spinner batting at 11. Finished his career as a dependable batsman who’s spin was capable but inferior to what it had been
8. Roger Harper - picked as the token spinner for a West Indies side that probably didn’t need one, who could bat. In the end was ordinary at both but nearly worth his spot as the world’s only specialist fielder
9. Heath Streak - in his first 36 test matches passed 50 four times and averaged 17. In his next 29, hit a century and 7 50s And averaged 30 for the remainder of his career
10. Stuart Broad - came into the side as a reasonable enough bowler who could really bat. Now a strike bowler who wouldn’t look out of place in a Chris Martin XI
11. Colin Miller - seamer who got picked almost exclusively to bowl off spin

I'll give you the most obvious - Gary Sobers. Started as a left arm orthodox spinner at number 9, four years later broke the world record score.

Another good one is Wilfred Rhodes. Started out as a left arm orthodox (what is it with left arm spinners?), after 11 tests had only reached double figures once. 12 years after his debut he made 179 at the MCG and put on 323 with Hobbs.

Keith Stackpole went from a leg-spinning all-rounder batting at 7 (from memory) to becoming a very reliable opening batsman.

James Franklin. Left arm opening bowler who battled 11 then turns into a number six/seven who barely bowls.

Have only recently discovered this thread. Marvellous stuff.

Here you go, probably pretty easy to get:

1. Chris Gayle
2. Brendan McCullum
3. AB DeVilliers
4. Brian Lara
5. David Hookes
6. Ian Botham
7. Adam Gilchrist
8. Kapil Dev
9. Phil DeFreitas
10. Mitchell Johnson
11. Andy Roberts

Charlie Macartney another obvious pick in hindsight. Picked as a left arm spinner (what a surprise), became Australia's best batsman between Trumper and Bradman (arguable)

And until Lara surpassed it during his 501, held the record for the most runs in a single day (345).
