All-time Cricket XIs

I know there has been some discussion about this on the Cricket thread, but I am seriously interested in discussing this, so here goes:

My All-time XI:
Gavaskar
Hobbs
Bradman*
SPD Smith
IVA Richards
Sobers
Gilchrist+
Warne
Akram
Lillee
McGrath

12th Man: Tendulkar

Some will quibble about Smith over Tendulkar, but the numbers don't lie. Smith has the second highest ranking points of all time for goodness sake peoples, and he's scored 1000+ runs a year at 70.00+ for the past three years!!! One of the all time greatest Test batsmen.
2017-2018: VCE
Methods | Specialist | Physics | Chemistry | English | Texts and Traditions

2019: B. Eng (Hons) | Monash
2019-?: Certificate III  in Bricklaying and Blocklaying

Have counted to 80

I think best teams of those you've actually seen play are more pertinent. How would that affect those teams above?
