Favourite XI

Not necessarily the best XI you have seen but which XI has been your favourite?

Mine

Sehwag - destructive and also very very good
De- Villiers - Awesome bat, who could manufacture shots out of nothing
V Richards - The man in the 80's. Mr cool
Lara - best player I've seen and entertaining to watch
M Waugh - Has there ever been a more graceful batsman?
M Crowe - Like Waugh, very graceful. A knee injury hampered him later on but what a player
Gilchrist - Destructive. The ideal number 7
Imran - Great bowler, and inspirational captain
Waqar Younis - Quick, and that inswinging yorker!
Warne - Great character and bowler
Ambrose - one of the greats and had plenty of aggression

Randall was a character and brilliant fielder

Yeah, nicknamed Arkle after the racehorse, apparently because of the way he raced around the field.Good batsman though not in the top rank there but, like I said, a personal favourite.

I would replace Imran with Vivian Richards and both will swap their batting positions. If any one does not include these two in most exciting XI or One Day XI, they need to learn a lot more about cricket because no batsman can change the entire situation of the game in such short span of time as these and were very consistent as well

I am missing cricket, my league has been postponed and this nice weather makes life without cricket even harder. The County Championship and my league would normally be up and running now.

How to increase pace? I am natural inswinger but I feel I should add more pace.
