It's one thing not to relish fast bowling, it's another when some belive that he was actually scared at the crease, especially batting at No. 3, and especially agints the fast bowling he would be up againts in this scenario. If he were to be included, and factoring in his prowess againts spin it would have to have been batting lower down the order, and there was no other proven No. 3 who could fill that critical and specialist batting position better than Younis.
Srinath on the other hand has no right in any All Time XI, and is the weakest player this far selected.
Changes that I would have made to the teams are no many, but I would replace Boder with Ponting, Barrington with Pietersen, Srinath with Nissar/Singh and Kumble with Chandra.
