My Combined Eng/NZ test XI atm based on players available..........

Strauss
Cook
Vaughan (c)
Bell
Pietersen
McCullum (wc)
Oram
Vettori
Broad
Sidebottom
Martin


Obviously Flintoff for Broad if he was fit.................

and yes, I'd take Martin over Anderson right now.

My question is how do you think the above team would perform against Aust if a test was played tomorrow?

Do you think that side would compete against the current Australian test team?
Would beat the Australian side that's due to play West Indies in the first Test. That is, without Hayden and Clarke. Would definitely give a full strength Aussie side a run too.

Yeah especially given their batting strength.

Here's another one. Which of these is the strongest Test lineup. Again I've selected on players fit, so no Flintoff.

Combined NZ/Aust Vs Combined Eng/SA to be played tomorrow.....

NZ/Aust

P Jaques
M Hayden
R Ponting
M Clarke
M Hussey
B McCullum (wk)
J Oram
D Vettori (c)
M Johnson
B Lee
S Clark

And yes I've selected Oram ahead of Symonds.......

Eng/SA

G Smith
A Cook
M Vaughan (c)
J Kallis
K Pietersen
A Prince
M Boucher (wk)
M Ntini
R Sidebottom
M Panesar
D Steyn

Smith, Vaughan, Kallis and Pietersen pick themselves, Close between Mckenzie & Cook for opener and I have Prince just ahead of DeVilliers, Bell & Collingwood.


The NZ/Aust side have a stronger batting lineup for mine with a strong lower order, especially with Flintoff injured. The Eng/SA side probably the stronger bowling attack.

I'd say the NZ/Aust side would be slight favourites, but Flintoff would probably swing the odds if he was fit.

BTW I've selected Vettori as captain ahead of Ponting as I think he's a better captain already. Vaughan just ahead of Smith for the Eng/SA

Your thoughts ?

Chris Martin is a better bowler than Mitchell Johnson at this point in time. That'd be a tight contest too (even with Ntini at 8) but I'd say NZ/Aus would win it.

MacGill making 67 and 32 in a test? Thought the idea of simming the game was interesting until I saw that bit.

Well nobody every thought (aside from the man himself probably) that Glenn McGrath would ever get a Test 50...

Not sure about that, I'd probably take Johnson as he swings it around the 145 km mark

Martin is much more consistent at this stage in their respective careers. Decent accuracy, good work ethic and can produce some excellent deliveries. And potentially deadly when the conditions are there for him. Johnson has pace and swing and all, but not the control or the smarts (which comes with experience) to make it count consistently. Essentially he has average accuracy, but can produce some excellent deliveries. There's not usually a lot of pressure between those deliveries.

Of course, Johnson has potential to be much much better than Martin.
