I'm howling at Nasser laughing at Key being between Cook and KP. LMAO
Loved the banter between key and nass🤣 missed this for the past 1 week!!

Cant really argue with this. Perhaps Trescothick over Strauss or Root
Great selection, id maybe swap peak Vaughan for Root and Thorpe for Bell.
Not a bad team.

Can't believe Mike Atherton doesn't get many mentions he was a quality player
Average isn't anything great
As long as he doesn`t have to face McGrath .
His average is pathetic .. the opposite is the truth .. he played in a very poor England era and he is a very overrated player

Nasser: "I can't have Swann..." *cough* Tufnell …"you want me to pick Giles..." *ahem* Tufnell …"No way am I having Salisbury..." HELLO! TUFNELL!
Agree! Tuffers was a fine spinner. He put plenty of revs on it and has had some big performances. He's like for like with Swann in those aspects.
Robin Smith was an absolute legend... in 1991 (5th test v WI) we had Gooch & Smith who were batting 1 & 2 in the world!

This was the greatest ever cricket team for England
no stokes?
LeoHartley15 root?
Stokes
Hussain/ Vaughan at 3
Bell / Collingwood at 5. Otherwise it's good to go.
Robin Smith was my favourite england batsman in the 90's, his only weakness was spin, he was england best player of fast bowling in that era
Actually blown out of proportion a bit. He averaged 45 against Pakistan and scored hundreds against India and Sri Lanka. He was a very good player.
@Mr X did he heck. Robin smith was awesome against pace. He didn't even retire hurt from getting on the jaw lol.
@Mr X on what? Those are facts not opinion
Well, that was so funny.. great how they make fun of each other without taking it seriously 😂😂
@@thadtuiol1717 well dude, for your info, best friends will be like that, no matter what country they're from. I was just pointing them out Coz they're kind of celebrities too..
Yes if it was Indian or Sri Lankan’s they would take it personally
Great stuff, haha really like Rob Key's humility and honesty throughout this.

Sam Kershaw id have had Marshall in there....best bowler ever....heading into the latter part of his career until 91, but still a fantastic bowler
@@markpalmer7215 He's one bowler I wish I really could have seen. I was only 4 when he retired so didn't really capture my imagination as a kid. I can't recollect anything. It's only in later years with interviews, documentaries and books i can appreciate his talents, skill and genius but as i said, I can't pick players i never really saw (hence why Gooch only makes the bench in my era for a similar reason.)
It's one of the joys of sport. The myths, legends, heroics of different era's lost to time and memory, replaced by new.
Sam Kershaw ah I misinterpreted your post as you had started watching cricket in 87.
I only really started watching cricket seriously in 1990, and although not at peak powers Marshall was still a top bowler in 91 when WI toured England. Such a clever bowler, pace, Seam & swing....such a shame he is no longer with us.
@@markpalmer7215 Yeah my bad, I've amended it now to '93. I remember going to Old Trafford and watching Lancashire before '93 but lets say I really started to follow cricket after the Ball of the Century and my cricketing love began in earnest.
Marshall is just one of those players who belongs in the Pantheon of Greats. Still talked about with reverence. Gone too soon but an Immortal.
Dravid instead of Dhoni, and give the gloves to Sangakarra - this is test cricket remember...if you want another keeper instead you’d go Mark Boucher
I'm sorry but there is no way, given the spirit of what this video is about, is Nasser allowed to have Anderson, Botham and Gower. I'd even argue Anderson wouldn't get into a Michael Vaughan team. Nasser needs to pick players who were at their best mid 90's to early 2000's.
Same with Gooch. He retired from test cricket after the 1994/95 Ashes.
I love how every single " my all time eleven" comment has Stuart broad in it.....he truly is underrated.
England team since I started watching (2009):
Cook
Strauss
Bell
Pietersen
Root
Stokes
Prior (wk)
Swann
Broad
Anderson
Finn
So basically the World No.1 team plus Root and Stokes - not very original I know
Sidebottom beats Finn IMO
One hell of a side. I’d put prime Trott in there too.
James Andrews yeah it was tough between trott and bell. Bell was a personal favourite of mine and because he played longer I put him in over trott.
I'd remove Finn and put either Curran or Flintoff in at 8. Maybe Trott in at 3 too
When is the follow up for this video coming ?? What happened to the simulated match
Every time Nasser says, "We're gonna have a bowl, it just gives me chill thinking about Brisbane 2002".
Ponting done the same blue in 05.

When corona is over, I don't want to hear anyone's "best xl" "best combined xl" or "favourite player" ever again
Some guy in a cricket group I'm in listed the 10 best XIs of all time...10!!!
Best bit was that Stokes was 12th man in the 10th XI so he got slated...😂
Some epic sledging here.
I remember Harmisons first ball on the Aussie tour going straight to 2nd slip . I was listening on the radio and thought a wicket had fallen 🤣That said , his dismissal of Clarke in 2005 was one of greatest balls ever by an England bowler .
22:51 i thought Rob Key had a poster of Joe Root on his wall
Trescothick

8. Defreitas (is the greatas!)
9. Lewis (Chris)
10. Devon Malcolm
11. Jimmy Anderson (the Night Watchman)
12th man Tuffers/Adil Rashid
No Gough??
I’ve been watching cricket since 89/90 so my team based on who I’ve seen “live” is:
1. Gooch
2. Cook
3. Trott
4. KP
5. Thorpe
6. Stokes
7. Stewart
8. Swann
9. Gough
10. Broad
11. Anderson.
On a bouncy wicket may swap Broad for Harmison.
Stokes/Freddie was a tough call, but Ben just shaded it
Root vying with Thorpe for #5, but had to pick Trott...not flashy but reliable and hasn’t been replaced yet....
I'd put Flintoff in ahead of Broad as a pure bowler in that line up
David Jones great point, Flintoff for a few years was arguably the best fast bowler in the world.
Great selection... Wasn't Beefy playing until 92-93... Also you might want to reconsider including Root now, after his 2021 season to go along with his handy off-spin and slip catching. Trott is just an unfortunate case of what could have been if not for his broken career, such a shame...
“Someone who got tough runs all the time, a man small in stature...” and then cut to Thorpe tickling Astle to fine leg... tough runs those!😁
Keysey. I recall bumping into you and Freddie in the Chicago Rock Cafe in Canterbury, if I recall it was called Churchills. The following week i ran into Darren Gough in the Theatre District Milton Keynes. All three of you are "legends" on the field and much bigger starts in the bar. Brilliant video. Thank-you guys. Oh, Nasser I forgot to mention, can you recall the semi final when you were a student at Durham? Lol.

Is Hussain living in his nan's spare room?
I'm waiting for his Nokia 3210 to go off.
Roald Dahl's study
Anyone else see the rotary phone
He’s old enough to be a grandad himself to be fair
They were absolutely savage!
Well the real question is Do Key and Hussain make it to anybody's eleven???😂😂😂
When will the result of this test match be published?
Nobody picked Ian bell??
Ian is a much better batter than Stokes.
Nathaniel Marshall give it a rest, he even said that he’s picking them on their best days, and you can’t argue that best stokes is worse using that criteria
Bell would get in ahead of Key and Hussain. But they have to be captain of their own team.
Best England team in my lifetime: 2001 to present.
Strauss
Cook
Bell
Root
Pietersen
Stokes
Prior
Flintoff
Broad

Good shout. I’d put Gough in my team though. That’s the great thing about things like this, everyone has different opinions. 👍👍

No Gough, Jones or Flintoff??
@@mrkipling2201close between Gough and Harmison, if Jones had a longer career he probably would have got in, injuries were the problem for him. As Benedict said - Flintoff only really had one good series.
Loved them ,specially in lockdown had great laugh and listening to their dry jokes.

How was Cook such a hard pick. Arguably England's greatest ever.
Pre-injury Steve Finn as a strike bowler is worth a shout. They both picked teams that couldn't win away as they are seam up 85mph merchants.
Finn was a serious talent before the messed around with his action
Nasser could have picked Tuffers but picked Giles instead 🤦🏻♂️
Absolutely agree. Tuffers spun the ball hard and could get you those big 5/6 wicket hauls on the last day of a test match. His fielding and batting were a minus 5 though 😀
Jim 83 Tuffers would have been a great selection. Agree with you.
I don't know about tuffers because i haven't seen him play but Giles is an absolutely terrible selection.Giles was an below average bowler at best. I would have gone for swann,
@@AthifKhan Nasser wanted Swann but wasn't allowed to pick him
@@AthifKhan I also never watched Tuffers play live, but I've seen highlights of him and he way he used to get his wixkers were quality. Good spin, drift,drop and subtlety.
Quality phone behind Nas.

Got to have Hammond at 3 ahead of Gower.
@@johnbest4513 Sorted
From an Aussie point of view, I have never heard of a David Underwood. But your team did have a very very handy Spinner called Derek Underwood. He would fit very well in your all time best team. (better than handy, by the way)
The commentary for Harmison’s slower ball was perfect
where do you follow the score?
Key might have only played 15 test matches but his batting average was better than 90% of the current team.
Take out his one innings of 200 and his average halves lol
My 11:
Boycott
Cook
Smith
Gower
Pietersen
Stewart
Botham
Gough
Swan
Broad
Anderson
This was so good, listening to Nasser grilling Key’s choices. I would put my money on NH’s team.
Question is: who won when they were put through the simulator? I can’t find the follow up video
Nasser won. It's an article on the Sky website. Jimmy rattled them first innings
@@SgtPepper4140 thanks for the reply, any chance you can post the link?
Nasser looks really comfortable and happy in his old man chair.
Ian Bell was done dirty. At his best, he was one of the best. A cover drive made from poetry.
He got ten years in the team what more do you want?
Nasser should have picked John Emburey as a spinner instead of Giles.
Show the love for Walter Hammond.
Barrington > Hammond
I'd pick 'em both,Hammond 4,Barrington 5,also Hammond as 4th seamer.
All time England XI:-
Hutton Hobbs Hammond Compton Pietersen Botham Knott Larwood Laker Trueman S.F. Barnes
Can you get it so it shows both of you at the same time?
Simon Jones would be in my all time great England X1. Before he had to retire with injury he was one of the best bowlers I’ve ever seen. Such a shame what happened to him in Brisbane.
Good bowler Jones, however, all time England X1! Are you sure?
i like the look of key's team better, would have been easily the winner with anderson in it as well
It would be interesting to have a 'virtual' test match between the 1981 England side v England's 2005 Ashes side. So many good match ups. Botham v Flintoff, Gooch/Boycott v Strauss/Trescothick, Brearley v Vaughan, Knott/Taylor v Jones, Emburey v Giles, England's seam bowlers of 1981 (Willis, Botham, Dilley, Old, Allott) v Seam bowler's 2005 (Harmison, Flintoff, Jones, Hoggard).
I wouldn’t mind watching that!!
Maybe age clouds u I'm 53 would say each time 81 wins
@@jamesleslie6830 I do too!! Richie Benaud made the point at the time that all 3 tests that England won in 1981 the tail enders made all the difference batting wise as well as their bowling! Brearley (to me) a far better captain than Vaughan, Boycott/Gooch not as dynamic as Strauss/Trescothick but very dependable. Knott/Taylor far better than Jones and Botham shades Flintoff. Emburey much better than Giles (a far better all round cricketer) and in the seam bowling Botham/Willis one of the best combinations for England in the last 50 years.
I was raised if I can have Fletcher lever and Gooch u can have the rest
Brearley ran out 1st three bats asked why
Best All time 11
Hutton, Hobbs, Compton, Paynter, Hammond, Aames, Botham, Verity, Laker, Trueman, Barnes
Ken Barrington missing.
My team
Now that's a team! Defreitas and Malcolm open the bowling and then the broadside that is Anderson and Broad with the wildcard of Chris Lewis thrown in!
annoyinng that it's not showing it!
My team:
Gooch
Cook
Root
Pietersen
Thorpe
Flintoff
Stokes
Botham
Bairstow
Broad
Moeen
Obviously I'd switch the order around to keep a left-hand/right-hand combination, as far as possible. I'd choose Broad ahead of Anderson because of his better batting. Everyone in my team has scored a century in tests.
Shame there's not much love for Devon Malcolm in anyone's XI.
On his day he was unplayable, it's just a shame he was a "confidence and nurturing" player in an era and set up where that kind of thing wasn't available for him.
I'm sure there's a video of Steve Waugh talking about him and basically saying "Yes he could be wayward but we were glad when he didn't get picked".
My thoughts exactly.
Easy to say from the outside but when you’re in a losing team it’s hard to pick a bowler who goes for four an over and rarely gets it right, no matter how good those ‘right’ days are
great shout for Simon Jones, I think we was so underrated, shame his test career didn't last longer.
Would of taken a loaf of wickets he was seriously good

Not English by the way, this would be some team
Why didn't Nasar just pick Phil Tufnell? He also seems blissfully unaware that Stewart's batting form when keeping was usually awful which is a terrible waste - especially when Jack Russell was one of the best keepers in the world at the time.
Why not Jonathan Trott 😒😒😒
both these guys making fun about Giles but he was a fighter , he had limited ability but he just loved challenges. 2005/06 tour of Pakistan he bravely faced steamy spells from Sami and Shaoib Akhtar.
The lack of tactics in making their selections was very disappointing. They should have focussed on the players that overlap between their two eras and chosen them first. No point in Nas wasting an early pick with Graham Gooch as Key could never have selected him.
Key looks slimmer now than his playing days. Fk he was big. Love all the archive stuff. Shame they cant show similar - post and pre corona era. Most of the time, its england latest matches plus the same old old best of and masterclass repeats...groundhog day. Bizarre they cant show their own footage like they are now,, because presumably icc want revenue for repeats.
Based on my knowledge (of the game & stats), my best ENG squad of 16 across generations:

16) Ben Stokes
What about WG Grace?
Thomas Robertson Oh yes! Probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to swap KP with WG 👍🏼
KP does at his best, scored runs against Warne and McGrath. Anderson is debateable as he needs conditions to do anything.
Chuckle brothers these two😂😂
Monty panesar was best England spinner I have seen .
I expected someone to pick ian bell at 5.
