BARNES OUT
It kind of explains itself really, I thought I'd make this thread [even though it's probably been done before] to try and see who everyone's favourite players are, and such. It's harder than I thought to do, though. I didn't want to limit it to one form of the game, but feel free if you'd like.

Graeme Smith*
Lou Vincent
Shoaib Malik
Shane Watson
Boetta Dippenaar
Kevin Pieterson
Mark Boucher+
Shaun Pollock
Heath Streak
Shane Bond
Nathan Bracken

12th man: Ramnaresh Sarwan

There's no Indian or Windies players in the XI for a few reasons. I wanted Sarwan in the XI but I like Dippenaar a little more, and I haven't seen the Indians play for a good while now. I think maybe Raina, or Sreeanth, or more likely Dhoni [although I think he looks really weird when he bats, maybe it's just me but his style seems strange.] will slot in there once I see them play a little more in the near future.

I wouldn`t mind seeing these teams simmed off against each other. Though not the good ones. :D
