Plunkett also economical if I remember correctly

Don't worry, they would both be in once Archer and Wood break down in the first imaginary game! 😂

Plunkett was so underrated its criminal.. He single handedly changed the course of matches in the middle overs consistently

True.... England did win the world cup on the new ball ballers

plunkett is always underrated

Thanks, have no idea how they missed out on him, England's best odi Batsman besides Gower

he was very good

Ultimate bowling pair who won only 1 test series in Australia and were beaten by Bangladesh at 2015 WC? Two of the most overrated bowlers of all time. 🤣

​@@gts8919First of all, it is their longevity that commands respect and secondly Broad retired at a stage where he was bowling beautifully in his last series and Anderson barring last Ashes series has been in prime form in last 5 years and had a very good tour of India in 2021 where he not only was economical but also picked up crucial wickets with reverse swing on either turning or flat wickets so they at least deserve respect, if not considered as the best bowling pair or not the greatest.

​@@NishantSharma-vf2wd Was just going through the list of most runs conceded in a test over and voila, guess which two bowlers make up the top 3? 😂

@@gts8919 Yep-you have to look at the average as well as the wicket column & 27-28 is not cutting it compared to true greats like Ambrose, Marshall, Hadlee, WIllis, Lilee, McGrath, Barnes etc & before anybody says Botham-he batted mostly at number 6 & made 5,200 runs as well as being the strike bowler-he wasn't a tailender.

Biased commentators😂

Here's my side Strauss Bairstow (W) Pietersen Stokes Morgan (C) Collingwood Botham Swann Rashid Woakes Willis/Archer/Plunkett

@Umar_Akmal96 agreed...better at being mediocre

@Umar_Akmal96 our nawaz shareef is better than manmohan singh, our moulana diseal is better than rahul Gandhi, our zardari is better than Modi ,our maryam nawaz us better than sonia gandhi.. But our umar akmal is a parchi of nawaz shareef and our omer akmal is a better fixer than sreesanth

​@Umar_Akmal96💩💩

@Umar_Akmal96 Then how come Pakistan rarely wins anything?

🎯 Most underrated England player ever.

@Umar_Akmal96nobody asked

No mention of the beard that's feared either 😒 Mo brought alot to that team

There was a time in the 80s when Bob Willis was our only genuine fast bowler. Botham was a good medium fast bowler, but in the second half of his career he lost the ability to bowl the inswinger because England had the mistaken policy of trying to use him as an all out fast bowling ‘enforcer’ so he tried to bowl too fast when he didn’t quite have enough genuine pace, attempting to buy wickets by bowling bouncers. It worked to a degree, but it was very expensive; his economy per wicket average went from 21/22 to 28.70 in the second part of his career. England, having no leg spinner, or any real quality spinner of any kind, bar an ageing Derek Underwood and just Willis as a genuine all out quick, were reliant in battle on medium pacers, their attack being very disappointingly limited in quality and scope. No wonder they couldn’t ever really challenge the West Indies and went from 1974 to 1990 without even a single Test Match victory against them.

​@Umar_Akmal96💩💩

He’s crap !

He's 12th man, will field at point for catches and run outs

@Umar_Akmal96 are u being serious ?

And Ranmiz Raja is far better than Rani Mukherji

Yep and he could have bulldozed into the opposition players and claimed runouts!!!

Can't miss Swann can we. I believe he was to off spin what Warne was to leg. Accurate, Simple Action. Murali was way too unconventional (I'm not saying illegal) with that Wristy action. Swann is perhaps the best right arm finger spinner in ODIs ever..

@@RP-kr2mg Went with Eddie Hemmings as the spinner, Vic Marks ran him very close as well-Swann a bit behind both.

Correct. I had Roy over Gooch as only change

Root has a higher average, higher strike rate and more 100s in odi world cups

But don't agree with them here

Because Gooch is a god & he made his runs when the wickets did something & often did a lot-unlike the modern lot who are flat track bullies, with small boundaries, huge bats & birdbrain bowlers who keep bowling short. Will be interesting to see how good Roy etc do in the Subcontinent on turning wickets against India, Pakistan etc, in a round robin format where only four teams make it to the semis & not on docile wickets at home.

You're a confusing bloke Dave@@daveborder7751

​​@Umar_Akmal96f off with your spamming every comment

They put him up to 6.

​@Umar_Akmal96💩💩

@Umar_Akmal96 Random stranger: “hey, have you got the time?” Any Pakistani: “KING BABAR IS THE GREATEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME, RIZWAN IS LORD GOD HIMSELF!!!”

Imagine the night out with that team! 😂

Totally agree with you!

Yep-that World Cup the ball did a lot as it was played early in the season-the modern England flat track bullies would have struggled to make three figures in most matches with their lack of technique & brainless swinging.

They only can play against players of their era and they did okay I guess

I always say exactly the same thing

Atherton is way way better and far more neutral even when eng is dominating unlike nasser.

1992 was godly bowling-he was pulled direct out of panto as backup for the NZ tour & he trundled in with his big gut flapping-making Dermot Reeve's run-up look like Brett Lee by comparison & kept taking wickets with great out-swingers.

This is a dream team so it has to be peak Botham from 1980 before the back injury. Botham of the Jubilee Test Match v India. How can Nasser be in two minds about picking Botham.

Woakes is one of the best (and most underrated) ODI opening bowlers of the modern (2010 onwards) era, normally prevents teams getting off to a flyer against England and generally picks up a wicket in the first 10.

It's a past world Cup team, Stokes just can't captain it.

But yeah, I think a few oldies could have been added into the list.

@@ayusharyan6127 I’d like to make an exception seeing as I’ve just picked my team 😂
