As blasphemous as it is to even think about an Englishman wearing a Baggy Green, we asked some of Australia's finest to pick one they wouldn't mind sharing the sheds with
Without a doubt, Australia would love to have Stokes out of the current English team. Excellent all round player who always performs when his team needs him. Basically he’s everything we wish Mitch Marsh was
well said sir Ben Stokes is the best batting all-rounder of this era. He always played reliable and responsible long innings of 💯 s whenever he comes to the creeze for batting. He's the only batting all-rounder of this era who could regularly bowl up to 141k.m/h.
That would have been really interesting.... I think all the 3 of them would have improved Australian teams massively Ian Botham Andrew Flintoff Ben Stokes
@@ayooshq I know that's a joke but Langer was underrated, no way you're dropping him. I'm sure you'd have room for Flintoff at 6 with Martyn and Hussey above him.
@@jeanlawley6483 Lol , he played Domestic Cricket for KwaZulu Natal in SA. He even got Vaughan out in a practice match against the visiting English Side.
I know which one Australian I would have loved to see in our ranks during his career: Shane Warne. Ridiculously good spinner and an excellent cricket brain.
I hope "Freddy" Flintoff has a real sense of humour, because ( as an Aussie ), I've yet to see one really funny quip or quote or one-liner or snappy come-back from any Australian cricketers in over 40 years of following the game. Even the nicknames they give to one and other are lame, especially compared to the names Rugby League players label each other with. Quite some time ago, one of the commercial TV channels did special on funny cricketers and, fair dinkum, it was as funny as watching Chris Tavare batting. For years I had heard of what a funny bloke Doug Walters was in the dressing room, but on the TV special, he was about as funny as a toothache. Of course Doug's humour wasn't quite as bad as the dull, leaden funny side of Ian Chappell, but that didn't stop the show's producers from inflicting Chappelli's dimly sparkling wit on us anyway. Consider this: When Rugby League player, Julian O'Neal played for the Brisbane Broncos, he had a bad habit of when he got the ball about 10 metres out from their try line, of going for the try himself, no matter what other and better options there were for him. Because of this, his team mates began to call him the Pope.....because he wouldn't pass the pill! ( The ball. ) Compare that to the hugely inventive name former Australian wicket keeper Ian Healy had bestowed on him by his team mates............."Heals" Now you know what I'm talking about, don'tcha? Cricketers are mostly boring people!
Deport Dora Ignore. I’m embarrassed by a lot of my fellow fans. I’m extremely proud of being English but can’t wait for the saggy-armed women and fat arsed twats from Runcorn to stop singing Jerusalem every game. Just be sure that 90% of English fans are normal and can appreciate other teams. For example, I know Nathan Lyon is a decent bloke and that Warner is not. Cook was nice, Swann not so nice. It’s not complicated.
Roy, Bairstow, Root, Morgan, Stokes, Buttler, Rashid, Wood, Woakes, Archer and Plunkett looking at todays absolute battering you took. You even got gifted the wicket of Roy due to the lost Bairstow review.
I ain't no Aussie but England can't be compared to Australia. WC 5 to England 1. Aussie has been trashing England all over the park. Just because England one a wc and that too on boundary count. It's too early to boasting about it mate
@@spateri728 ... hmmm ... kepler wessels opened for Australia and he was South African ... beside south African, New Zealand, Australia ... there all Englishman who went on holiday and never came back anyway, so it's fair game
There's a few, actually. Some really good players since 1972, when I first started watching as a kid. Trying to pick one is just too difficult, because it would be ignorning the merits of some other very worthy individuals.
Very true. And many more. Going all the way back to WG Grace. I think English conditions make it important to have a 4th seamer who can bat so we tend to have one.
In a different way, Adam Gilchrist was a world class all-rounder. That apart, although Benaud could bat a little bit, you've really got to go back 70 years to Keith Miller.
@@therebel4332 Is that cheating? Are suggesting that People born here or that immigrated here shouldn't be allowed to play for us? The use of sandpaper is cheating though for sure.
wayne king just remind me who lifted the trophy? Because I’m pretty sure it wasn’t New Zealand. Either my eye sight must be wrong or you’re just delusional.
I think Flintoff could have made it to any Australian xi, but with due respect to their talent and achievements, Cook and Anderson couldn't continue for too long in an Aussie team like they did for England. My obvious reasons are Cook had his share of long lean patches many times which Aussie selectors wouldn't have entertained. And Jimmy, his style of swing bowling is more suitable to English conditions while his stats down under are below par.
"No english should ever wear the baggy green" Charles Bannerman, John Hodges, Tom Kendall, William Midwinter, Percy McDonnell, William Cooper, Henry Musgrove, Hanson Sammy Carter, Tony Dell, Andrew Symonds, Matt Renshaw, Steve Smith...
I know I'm being biased but I have often looked at other teams and wondered who would be " good enough " to make the Australian side. Some of Steve Waugh and Ricky Pontings sides were the very best teams in history and no one would have replaced them. Maybe Alan Donald and Jaques Kailis. McCullam and Bond. Cook, Flintoff Anderson and more recently Stokes. Vas, Jayasuria and Sangakara. Kholi ,Sewag and Dhoni. Lara and Roach. Not many Pakistanis stand out in the last 20 years so I'll pass. Let the comments begin!
quite funny that Lyon says no English person would wear the baggy green. Considering Aussies call all our players foreign that means Pattinson technically is English
If Someone Asked to Aussies, Which Indian Player you want to see Playing for Australia? Evrybody would say - 'KOHLI, KOHLI, KOHLI, KOHLI' 😁 KOHLI is so Popular in Australia..! 😎
@@Q-W-E-R-T haha 😂 becoz your Australian media, RU-vid Channel and Instagram Page are so Obsessed with KING KOHLI 😁 They upload lots of Videos, pictures and Stuffs related to KOHLI, becoz they know he is Worldwide Popular, so they r getting Views and Money by the Poplularity of VIRAT KOHLI 😏😏
Not a single Australian would say that. If the question that was asked to an Aussie was "which Indian would you like you king hit?" The top answer would be Kohli.
@@karthikchand007 Don't really have a favourite atm. Like Bairstow last few years but he keeps whinging about not having the gloves which is getting irritating. Anderson probably. I like anyone who performs regularly!
@@Hello4808 Jesus calm down mate , I was kidding. I know they were. Steve's mum is English. Jimmys parents are English and his brother was born near Joe Root in Yorkshire. They both have dual English Australian passports. Jimmys brother played for England.
