[Jacknife]

Surely you'd have Hussey over Ponting.

 

[Prince EWS]

Surely you'd have Hussey over Ponting.

Laxman or Watson over both IMO.

India Pak

Gambhir
Sehwag
Dravid
Sachin
Younis
Laxman
Dhoni (C)
Zaheer
Gul
Ajmal
Junaid

Want to get Misbah in there somewhere but that Indian batting lineup is too awesome

+1

India and Pakistan would have complemented each other perfectly had Amir and Asif not been idiots.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Imagine the India and Pak of the 90's.

 

[Prince EWS]

Imagine Australia+England in the 1870s; would've almost been a World XI...

Laxman over Ponting surely.
Harris and Khan in one attack would be... yeah.

I am assuming that I can pick Wade because the new panel are not tools.

McCullum
Hussey
Ryder
Watson
Clarke
Taylor
Wade
Vettori
Harris
Southee
Copeland/Cummins/Some NZ Hack

That is an exceptionally odd side.

You have a number six opening, a number five at three, an opener at four, a number four at six, and Young and Haddin should be well ahead of Wade given Wade has never played a test.

 

[Flem274*]

New Zealand and India

Sehwag
Gambhir
Dravid
Tendulkar
Laxman
Taylor/Ryder/Williamson
Dhoni/Young (depends what you want from your keeper really. I guess Dhoni since Young has played for two minutes)
Vettori
Bracewell
Southee
Zaheer

Lol at that balance between nation/player type.

Haha I think I probably rate Ishant Sharma the least out of everyone on this entire forum but picking Bracewell ahead of him is not okay. There is really no way Young should play ahead of Dhoni either, and I extend my Sharma sentiments to Dhoni as well.

Ishant is all over the place. Dougeh is bowling perfection. Ishant can can gagf.

The reason I listed Dhoni/Young is because if you want someone who can bat for the draw or on bouncy pitches, Young with his defensive play and back foot strengths is your man. If you want to murder some ****s in the subcontinent, Dhoni all the way.

I don't think one would ever have such specific needs as to have Young as their keeper over Dhoni.

Picking Bracewell over Sharma and Praveen at the moment just makes you look like a bit of a douche tbh. Let him actually do something first.

 

[Flem274*]

Forgot Praveen. Put him down.

Dougeh will be better than Ishant, just you watch Cribblett.

Well, I didn't say he wouldn't.

 

[Flem274*]

By better I mean only needs to prove he can bowl in a straight line.

Pretty much already proven.
