Hmm, in that case... as I am a little boerd (sic)...

NH:
Vandort
Cook
Dravid
Tendulkar
Chanderpaul
Sangakkara (w)

Hussey
Clarke
Haddin
Lee (B)
Clark
Steyn
Nel

And yes, fully aware that I've picked two players in there that couldn't 100% be currently said to be "Test players" (as Haddin STILL hasn't played and Nel is currently sidelined). I remain extremely confident they are the best players of their type currently. Poor old NZ - there's definately the chance that Taylor\Fulton\Southee\Hay might be in there in a few years' time, but sadly right now none make the grade compared to Aussies and Proteas.
Hayden
Smith
Hay
Taylor
Fulton
Kallis
Haddin

Southee

Just a few hours was all it took Rich.:p

Yeah I'll be serious later..

My posts were simply stating my favourite players ATM from both hemispheres. Wouldn't really include any of them as reserves or anything. If I had to choose what I considered the best, it would closely resemble what most people have put up.

Well at least you made me look up the NZ team as I'd never heard of How and I thought Harris had retired :)
