A sad week for cricket this week, with two all-time greats going straight to the Heaven First XI.
SK Warne takes straight over the captaincy, which was previously held by the Don. If there was ever a bloke who could unite the troops behind him, it was Warnie...

Any omissions from the Heaven XI? ๐๐๏ธ

...The batting lineup is fearsome. The elegance of Crowe, the bloody-mindedness of Grace, the flair of Hughes and lower-order hitters to boot, all the way down to 9.
Benaud and Greig take turns calling each match, allowing 12th man Frank Worrell to step in each week.

Warnie? He's at first slip eating pies and smashing darts. He could grab them one handed with his eyes closed.

...just ask the 2008 Rajasthan Royals side. Of course, Rod Marsh will stand behind the stumps as Warne sends them fizzing down over 22 yards in perpetual sunlight.
Marsh will have his work cut out keeping to a varied attack ...

@ShaneWarne what do you think of this XI mate?

3/4 ... in his ideal T20 XI (which we hear consists of 6 x Stoinis and 5 x Zampa).
The side is a little light on bowling, but let's be real - if Warnie is commentating, these blokes will not be on the field, but knocking on the door of the press box with pitchforks in hand...

4/4 ...in hand.
Special 12th man honours to Waleed Aly (who we assume has held a cricket bat in his life) after Warne labelled him an arrogant ""cretan"" which no doubt will offend Aly as much as it offends the English language.

Good Blokes XI
Here's a set of blokes you'd want to bring home to your mum, or to your misso.

Led by the outgoing MCC President Sangakkara - though nearly all of them have captained their countries - these men would profusely apologise even when they are at fault in a run-out.

The only verbals you'll be copping from this lot would be Kane or Gilly aggressively inviting you over for a six pack and a feed.
The fast bowlers would kill you though - with a smile. Hashim Amla sneaks in as 12th man due to a packed top order full of the game's greats.

Rig XI
An XI of hall passes to hand to your partner on Valentine's Day.
These blokes are the living, breathing sex appeal of cricket. Think:

- Matty Hayden's 2 metre-wide barrel chest
- Faf's dripping wet towel-wrapped body
- Dre Russ' bulging biceps
- Chris Tremlett's post-cricket bodybuilder transformation
- Symonds' pre-season with the Brisbane Broncos
These boys could do it all, and may well have done it all.

7. Justin Trudeau (wk): Mum says he's a keeper.
8. Imran Khan: Leads Pakistan, but pipped for captaincy by Hawke.
9. Narendra Modi: Remarkable ability to spin anything, anywhere.
10. Peter Dutton: Fearsomely quick to send off poor tailenders from other countries.

11. John Howard: Works hard, never misses a training session, but isn't trusted with the ball.
12. Scott Morrison: Relegated to 12th man given his penchant for going AWOL at crucial moments.
7/7
