Make your own all-star teams in any chosen sport

[PlainSimpleJoel]

So if you could put any players from any sport into an all star team of any sport, you like who would be in it, and of what sport.

I've choosen cricket, and just picked cricket players. My team is in batting order, from the two openers to the 4 bowlers.

Mark Taylor (Australia, 104 tests, 19 Hundreds, Batting Average 43.49)
Desmond Haynes (West Indies, 116 Tests, 18 Hundreds, Batting Average 42.29)
Sir Viv Richards (West Indies, 121 Tests, 24 Hundreds, Batting Average 61.37)
Sir Donald Bradman (Australia, 52 Tests, 29 Hundreds, Batting Average 99.94)
Sir Gary Sobers (West Indies, 93 Tests, 26 Hundreds, Batting Average 57.78, 235 Wickets @ 34.03)
Sachin Tendulkar (India, 150 Tests, 39 Hundreds, Batting Average 54.64)
Adam Gilchrist WK (Australia, 17 Hundreds, Batting Average 47.6, 379 Catches, 37 Stumpings)
Shane Warne (Australia, 708 Wickets @ 25.41, Bowls Leg spin)
Dennis Lillee (Austalia, 70 tests, 355 wickets @ 23.92, bowls Fast)
Joel Garner (West Indies, 58 Tests, 259 wickets @ 20.97, Bowls Fast)
Glenn McGrath (Australia, 124 Tests, 563 Wickets @ 21.64, Bowls Fast Medium)

Probably open with the Australian pace bowlers, but anyone of the three could open the attack. Plus there is Sobers who can bowl some left fast medium, and spin from Warne, Tendulkar and also Sobers.

I've seen all but two players, who retired before I was born. But those two are just great.
