Richie’s Greatest XI:

1 Jack Hobbs
2 Sunil Gavaskar
3 Don Bradman (Cap)
4 Viv Richards
5 Sachin Tendulkar
6 Sir Garfield Sobers
7 Imran Kahn
8 Adam Gilchrist
9 Shane Warne
10 Dennis Lillee
11 Sydney Barnes


12th Man Keith Miller
Coach; FMM Worrell

No Freddie did not make the final 11, nor did a lot of other players better than the likes of Imran Khan.

Richie Benaud I have respected, and loved his commentating over the years, but he has this obsession that he is of French decent, although a great player and captain, being of French decent, would mean he had no "GREAT" sence of history of the game, hence his obvious omissions.
