I am going with Dravid as well for the number of test matches he has won for India and the obvious..almost went for Amarnath as well..Dravid for all his record was not that good in bouncy pitches with real pace (btw Dravid was a master against swing bowling) ..Amarnath was a great player of pace if not for that one horrendous series he is a legitimate threat to Dravid's position in the India ATG X1..If bounce and pace i will pick Amarnath and if there is swing then Dravid ..

On the plus side, we will have five top class bowlers.

Exactly. Surely anything you lose by picking Imran rather than a specialist batsman at no.6 (much like the Botham/Miller discussions) is more than made up for by having five great bowlers rather than four.

The Sean · 14-11-2012, 04:18 PM

Oh, and Dravid for no.3.

While we're at it, Tendulkar at no.4.

Surely these two are both locks and we can move on?

Not at all.

Do you really need 5 great bowlers?

If the fifth bowler offered nothing with the bat then that's one thing, but when the fifth world class bowler also contributes more than usefully as a batsman then it's a no-brainer for me. I realise that the modern cricket fan tends to disagree with that and would happily sacrifice the fifth bowler completely in order to have an extra specialist batsman, but I don't necessarily hold with that way of thinking.
