    Asia Xi vs ROW Xi

    Can't have two off spinners. Replace Ashwin with Jadeja. ROW XI should have Greenidge ahead of Boycott. An aggressive impact player at the top who is proven vs good attack over a slow steady tuk tuk batter for me.

    Andy Flower vs Gordon Greenidge

    Greenidge. He played tougher opponents more than Flower, just like how Root played tougher opponents more than Sangakkara.

    Joe Root vs Kumar Sangakkara

    Sanga averages below 40 in three countries - South Africa, India and West Indies. Root averages below 40 in Australia only. The sample is very low in Bangladesh to be considered. Away from home in major test nations- Aus, SA, Ind and Eng. Root averages 42 while Sangakkara 41. It is close but...

    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Kapil Dev

    From an Indian point of view, quality in fast bowling is lesser than quality in spin bowling. So, the likely choice would be Kapil Dev. SEN team would love to pick Ashwin in their team.

    Ben Stokes vs Kevin Pietersen

    KP was a genuine match winner himself with the bat and in all conditions. What has Stokes won outside England and South Africa? Nothing. Firstly, take a look at Stokes bowling performance in this decade:- Matches - 45, Wickets - 64, Avg 29 If you will start rating him purely on average, he...

    Ben Stokes vs Kevin Pietersen

    Posters who are saying Stokes is better than his stats need to apply same rule for Kevin Pietersen as well because he too played more great knocks vs top quality attacks than his other contemporaries. Nobody could take on McGrath and Warne in his first year of test career in Ashes like Kevin...

    Ben Stokes vs Kevin Pietersen

    Don't agree with the votes. KP was a 47 averaging test batter while Stokes is a 35 averaging test batter and has picked 200 wickets in 100 odd games( on an average less than 2 WPM). Both players not known for consistency but known for playing greater individuals knocks. Additionally, KP has...

    Boult vs Starc vs Hazelwood vs Shami

    Hazelwood has been lucky compared to Starc that he played most of the games in conditions where it looked that he will be effective, hence ensuring his stats are good. He played mostly in Aus, Eng and NZ.

    Boult vs Starc vs Hazelwood vs Shami

    Spin bowling in NZ is a hard job remember and despite being a spin A/R if a player has played 100+ tests, that huge. Grandhomme played what? 29 tests?

    Boult vs Starc vs Hazelwood vs Shami

    @ca How come Reid and Grandhomme be better all rounder than Vettori?

    Joe Root vs Dravid

    You can't do that.WI and SL are better test teams than minnow-ish Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. Even today's Bangladesh is better than the Bangladesh that Dravid boosted his stats against. If you have to remove, go and remove Ireland and Afghanistan from Root's stats.

    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Kapil Dev

    Ashwin is the better bowler, Kapil the better batter and fielder.

    Boult vs Starc vs Hazelwood vs Shami

    Vettori is too low buddy.. No brownie points for those glasses?
