International Captain
The 1986-2006 World XI so far:
1. Matthew Hayden (LHB): 84 tests, 7326 runs, 53.08, 26 centuries, 26 fifties
2. Saeed Anwar (LHB): 55 tests, 4052 runs, 45.52, 11 centuries, 25 fifties
Please note that we are changing the voting format for the Middle Order so that we have a 5-day “preliminary” voting round to identify the top 4 players who will then go into a 3-day “selection” vote. The winner will then be added to the team, while the 3 runner-ups will be allowed into the preliminary vote for the next batting position.
Note: If the Selection vote is tied, whoever received the most votes in the preliminary round will go through.
Now for the best # 3 during the period 1986-2006, the following are the nominees:
