    Great team as always from you Michael. Some batting depth there with Giffen in at 8!

    ESPNcricinfo World XI

    Keith Miller would walk out if you made him bat at 8, below Gilchrist and particularly Imran. He saw himself definitely as a batsman who bowled. And Botham would definitely do so at being batted below Wasim or S. Pollock. Try: 1.Gavaskar 2.Hobbs 3.Bradman 4.Tendu 5.Kallis 6.Miller 7.Gilchrist...

    Seemed to have not been liked by the established guys on the team. No idea as to whether it was deserved. If unsure about him, try Chris Rogers v

    Yeah awta. Sobers obviously not a patch on Wasim as a bowler, but he offers left arm seam and is already almost certainly in the team. If the only reason for opting for Wasim over a right-handed bowler is his left-handedness, that then becomes a less persuasive argument.

    *Official* New Zealand in India 2010

    You made a derogatory joke, then posted the stats with a snide comment. Got no problem with banter, but generally to be considered banter rather than ****-stirring you need to be providing something constructive to proceedings as well.

    Muttiah Muralidaran's 10 top batsmen

    You realise Taipan is a Saffie, not an Australian, so abusing Warne isn't going to bother him at all? Or are you trying to annoy someone else?

    Taipan, are you doing anything in this thread besides trying to annoy people?

    Muttiah Muralidaran's 10 top batsmen

    I agree. It says that the man thinks that Cronje played his batting particularly well, but nothing more really.

    Muttiah Muralidaran's 10 top batsmen

    Nah, will give people more credit than that. That said, any posts seeking to argue with Murali's selections by citing objections to his bowling action, or dragging in other massive irrelevancies will probably be deleted.

    ESPNcricinfo World XI

    With the nice XI and the thread about Brad Hodge being dirt in selectors eyes being on the front page simultaneously, maybe a "Personality is own worse enemy XI" is appropriate - for the guys who by virtue of real or perceived personality fault screwed themselves out of playing more cricket for...

    Ah, that probably explains McCabe's absence as well. Murali pretty stiff - seems like the nicest, classiest guy.

    Amazing bowling attack. As somerset said, a long tail is the only negative.

    Brad Hodge for ODI's??

    Yeah, Hodge went on the 05 tour as reserve batsman. If he'd got a go instead of Clarke or Katich, it would have been interesting. In his "Captain's Diary" Ponting commented that he was a "different bloke" and liked to do his own thing. That kind of thing normally goes down well in the Aussie...

    WTF. We're playing ODIs against SL in between now and the Ashes? When was this decided? Mad bit of scheduling.
