I'm not sure about the concept of bringing older legends who might no longer have the firepower that they used to though, I think it would have been more influential if the teams were younger, up and coming players, but it should still be good to watch!

Well as Ian Healy just said... Watching 22 of the greatest test players of all time is pretty cool... No matter what happens it would be an amazing atmosphere and Shane Warne said that there are going to be cheerleaders and acrobats all around the ground.
