Richard Smith has provided a great service to all cricket fans with his insightful research into team selections. I'm delighted to be included in the '90s World XI! - Ian Healy, AO. Australian Cricket legend.
Since Test cricket began in 1877, there have been over three thousand players representing their countries in Test matches. World XIs tackles the daunting task of choosing the best of the best and coming up with the greatest team from each era of Test cricket history and exploring these players in more detail.
With legends of the game such as W.G. Grace in the 1800s; through to Don Bradman in the 1930s; the West Indies' three Ws in the 1950s; Imran Khan in the 1980s; and recent greats such as Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara, there are a wide variety of players represented through the ages. And to cap things off, there are a number of greatest-ever teams for you to mull over.
World XIs is sure to cause some robust debate amongst cricket lovers the world over.
