[honestbharani]

Chandana isn't that good, but obviously, apart from the big three and Vettori, Giles, Harbhajan, Kaneria, the other spinners have not shown much promise.

 

[Isolator]

asim kamal(cant believe that no one has him yet)

I agree, he'd be a certain inclusion for such a team.

Why two (or even three?) wickies?

 

[Nate]

Phil Jaques
Andrew Strauss
Michael Bevan
Kevin Pietersen
Michael Hussey
Shahid Afridi
AB de Villiers
Shane Bond
Nathan Bracken
Simon Jones
Mick Lewis

Too much thought went into that. I hope we`re not playing in India...

No good young spinners around it seems?

 

[Nate]

Great thead by the way.

Long tail, that one. de Villiers might get stranded on 98*.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Salman Butt

 

[Isolator]

Well, it appears none of you rate Asim Kamal. You're all idiots.

And I'd want Steyn in my team, too.

TEC included him actually. I'd certainly look at including him as well, except I totally forgot about him. Very good batsman.

Actually the other young Pakistani with under 20 caps I like is the keeper Akmal. Very solid behind the stumps, and seems to have a bit of potential with the bat as well.

 

[steds]

I don't know why I chose him either



EDIT: Apart from that hundred against Australia

 

[steds]

Long tail, that one. de Villiers might get stranded on 98*.

All of the top 7 apart from Pietersen have test centuries and Dave can bat.

 

[tooextracool]

id think this would make a good test side:

AB Devilliers
hamish marshall
michael clarke
asim kamal(cant believe that no one has him yet)
kevin pietersen
simon katich
brendon mccullum
upul chandana(for lack of a better spinner in the world)
simon jones
shane bond
darren powell


narsingh deonarine

good god, i cant believe that i managed to mess this one up and not include Andre Nel, who should have been my first player on the list. Nel for powell.

Nel for President.

I worship the ground he curses on.

 

[James90]

And the problem is solved as it appears Mohammad Rafique has only played 20 tests

[Barney Rubble]

Yes, but he's about 67 years old - hardly promising.

 

[Retox]

Andress Strauss
Phil Jaques
Hamish Marshall
Mike Hussey
Kevin Pietersen
Shahid Afridi
Jacob Oram (Captian)
Brendon McCullum (Keeper)
James Franklin
Shane Bond
Simon Jones


Afridi would play as a front line spinner With Pieterson (Spin) Hussey (Med Pacer) as back up

Franklin is in there cause I have no Idea who else could go there.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Franklin is in there cause I have no Idea who else could go there.

Shaun Tait? Andre Nel? Lasith Malinga?
