A really funking and fun World XI

Just for something different.

CB Fry (legend, nuff said)
Fleetwood Smith (who would you rather get on the turps with)
WTF bowled Bradman in his last test
Worrel (coz you've got to have a nice guy)
Fender (coz you need a qunt)
Sobers (coz you need a real star)
Miller (coz it would be fascinating to see him and Sobers at the same time)
Miandad (coz you need a total maniac)
Warnie (coz he can bowl a bit and what the hey lets get two total maniacs)
Lillee (cox he might just try to go another round with Miandad)
Need a keeper

Never heard anyone say a bad thing about Wally Grout. That said, Jack Russell would seem to be the perfect fit as keeper.

Mark Vermuelen would fit in if you need another nutcase.

Wally Grout, coz he was not just enthusiastic and skilled but from accounts a top bloke, beside such a team needs a banjo player.

President Imran could be coach. While he is funked now he seemed fun in his early days.

Grout was a mate of my dad's & i met him when i was a nipper. I can remember bowling to him on the nature strip outside our house. He gave me one of his Australian knitted vests which i wore to every backyard cricket game until, as an adult, i donated it as an item for a sports charity auction in the seventies.
Great memories.

So Imran as coach (lets face it you need a gash magnet). And I thought Russell but BDs story sold me. Almostas Good as Embees about conscription.n

Wayne Phillips was a bit of a clown behind the stumps, particularly standing up.

Doesn't he hold some kind of weird record or am I thinking about somebody else. Anyway not Good or enough or eccentric enough skulls.

Shite I forgot Boonie and Maybe Eddie Barlow. And that totally farked up guy who arranged the Aboriginal tour in 1868 and more or less invented aussie rules, and Jimmy Higgs and Tiger and Jack just So you could.get the goss on the Don at the tea break and that Indian spinner whose name sounds like a cocktail and Harris and Hawke just to say you were crap players and couldn't manage a bucks party and Plum just to say why didn't you deep six thr qunt in the harbour.

Gold. Still laughing at Qmy and envious about BDs boyhood contact with Wally.

Bill Brown. Best captain we Ever had.
