Brummie-born Queenslander, int he? What's to like?
To watch it's unquestionably Lara for me; lithe, quicksilver little genius that he was. However as an all-round package Rahul Dravid is impossible not to love just a little bit. Resolute and unbending an opponent as he was, he also had a deft lightness of touch and, crucially, understood the ethos of the sport like no-one else. Just a champion bloke.

In all seriousness though, I can't really narrow it down that far. I'll try and get it down to an XI though.
Jackson Compton Macartney Dravid + McCabe Worrell * Miller Shakib Procter Constantine Larwood |

In an unrelated note, I remember the Indian Test/ODI XI from the early days of my cricket viewership:
Kris Srikkanth Ravi Shastri Sanjay Manjrekar Sachin Tendulkar Mohammad Azharuddin* Kapil Dev Kiran More+ Manoj Prabhakar Anil Kumble Javagal Srinath Narendra Hirwani/Maninder Singh/Venkatapathy Raju

Those days, the Aussie ODI XI looked something like:
Mark Taylor David Boon Dean Jones Allan Border* Steve Waugh Mark Waugh Ian Healy+ Merv Hughes Craig McDermott Paul Reiffel Mark Whitney Perhaps, they didn't play 4 specialist pace bowlers and played a spinner instead. But I'm failing to recollect who that spinner used to be....Tom Moody? Tim May? |
