Would anyone want to see this match?

Australia (2008) vs a Veterans Australia team of the 1990's in a 20/20 match. Im not talking about a fastacy match where each player was in their prime but rather a proper match between these two teams. Would anyone like to see it happen?

Only if you swap Blewett for Michael Bevan.

I have no idea why i forgot about Bevan but you are right that Bevan was a better player than Blewett.

Ok sweet now I'd watch it.

We have a similar but different game this month in Hamilton with a NZ legends team goign up againt the under-19s in a 2020 game.

I was just thinking that a purist's Xi might struggle to reach XI... but sacrificing balance helps:

Michael Slater
Ricky Ponting (c)
Michael Clarke
Mark Waugh
Damien Martyn
Ian Healey (k)
Shane Warne
Jason Giliespie
Mitchell Johnson
Glenn McGrath
Stuart MacGill

Not ideal... but if someone has a problem with watching any of that XI they surely have a problem with the game.
