Oh, I don't know, I think on current form Dravid, Murali, Flintoff and Kallis would make the Aussie team. It would be mostly Aussies though.Lillian Thomson said:

Would be extremely dangerous in the subcontinent with that potent spin attack, but would struggle abroad lacking any pace bowlers of quality outside of Asif. Would have liked to have picked another pacer, but can't think of any to merit bumping one of these spinners.

Brave call there with Tendulkar, but until he scores another test century, it's the correct one. Consider promoting Dravid as an opener so Younis can come up to #3 and Malik can come in at #6. Kaneria has probably outperformed Harbhajan in tests lately, but I'd usually opt for the Kumble-Bhajji pairing.Mr Mxyzptlk said:
Considering Sehwag has been inconsistent for a long time now and has consistently averaged around 32, he definitely needs to go; Malik can open. Put Yousuf at 4, Yuvraj at 5 and Inzy at 6. Replace Afridi with a seamer. On overall performance, it's Pathan easily; otherwise, you could opt for Agarkar (or Sreesanth, but his record isn't all that great ... or Rana, but he's usually all over the place).Mr Mxyzptlk said:

Purely down to lack of choice. As I've mentioned there are next to no good pace bowlers in the subcontinent right now, and I know you'll agree thats especially true in India. He's in cause in addition to softening up the new ball for the spinners, he can also bat adequately.silentstriker said:
Yes, who else possibly merits selection? Zaheer Khan? I was going to chose between Kaneria and Harbhajan, but there's no need. Both deserve selection in the team, all three spinners have very different styles, and the batting looks strong enough as it is. A third spinner in this case contributes far more than a pacer or a batsman.silentstriker said:
I don't see any Indian or Pakistani openers raising their hand, and Dravid can do the job well enough, IMO.silentstriker said:
Yes. This is the current combined Test XI. Since Tendulkar has done nothing of note in Tests recently, I don't see why his non-selection would be so hard to understand.silentstriker said:

I know that Asif is not playing, but I picked him because I couldn't think of anyone else even remotely qualified to take the new ball. Shoaib and Shabbir would have been dead certs over the current lot, but theres no guarantee that they'll ever play Test cricket again, whereas Asif is almost certainly going to be back in a Pakistani uniform in a year, barring injury.Perm said:
