Asia XI vs ROW XI for the last 25 years. Who wins a test series?

there were at least five aust batsmen who are so much better than kane williamson from the past 25 years and at least another five who are slightly better than him and lol at kane batting at 3 in a team that has ricky ponting in it.

Nice of you to put the Tawa Terror in there, but in my opinion, Boult, Bond and Hadlee are probably the better NZ bowlers since from the years 1990 onwards if you wanted a Kiwi to improve the attack. But I am sure Mark will be pleased that you rate him so highly.

Ten years from now, when picking ATG XIs, people will say "Bradman at 3, but Williamson from the modern era." Ponting will be a forgotten man,

Lol, that's almost as funny as some of the Kiwi's rating themselves as favourites to win the Test Series in Australia later in the year.

This is simply evidence that people are stupid.

The only modern batsmen who I could countenance batting #3 ahead of Ponting in the modern era are Lara and Sanga (and I'd still play Ponting there if at all possible). EDIT: And Dravid I suppose. Rate Ponting decisively higher, though.

If you look at his 51-52 average and assume that was genuinely his level then you don't understand cricket, frankly.

I didn't think it was a serious comment. So so stupid if it was
