Over the years, the game of cricket has evolved like any other. We came across regular modifications in the game and also players coming with unique techniques. Meanwhile, Brad Hodge, the former Australian cricketer named his Ultimate T20 XI, of the players who never played the shorter version of the game.
In one of those funny scenarios, Brad Hodge asked fans to come up with their best XI to play the T20 game. The stipulation for picking the squad is that players should not have the history of playing even in one game in the shorter format.
Viv Richards, Clive Llyod placed in Brad Hodge’s Ultimate T20 XI –
During the course, Hodge revealed his Best XI. He asked Jack Hobbs to open the innings. He is an English domestic cricketer, who has got 61,760 runs with 199 centuries to his name. Meanwhile, Hobbs will be paired up with Warwick Armstrong, who was another domestic great from Australia.
Further, Brad asked Windies all-time legendary player, Sir Vivian Richards to play at the crucial number three position. He will be followed by Australian great, Don Bradman to look after the middle-order batting unit.
The number five and number six batting positions were given to the great, Clive Lloyd and Sir Garry Sobers, respectively. Lance Klusener will take the finisher role, who still gets considered as the finest all-rounder ever to grace the game.
And then, it was Wasim Akram, who will be taking the new ball for his side. Akram has always been fantastic during his times. The next to follow is Michael Holding and Jeff Thompson, who can rip the opposition apart.
The lone spinner to be present in the team was Tiger O’Reilly. Tiger was considered the greatest spinner of his times. Even Sir Don Bradman found tough in facing his bowling. Surprisingly, none of the Indians presents on the list.
Here is the squad:
A fun idea from our man @bradhodge007.
