Ok, let's take an unrealistically short-sighted view of the world and concentrate on the last 12 months only.
Hayden would not make a World X1 on this criteria.
Strauss is one of the 2 or 3 best batsmen of all-time but, even so, would not make a World X1 as Langer and Sehwag have scored runs against better opponents.
Vaughan and Tendulkar should be dropped from their respective Test sides.
Murali's records need to be extinguished from the game as he has been scientifically proven to throw one of his major deliveries.
Pollock is a medium pace draft horse.
I hope your finally starting to see how ridiculous your arguments seem.
Finally, your comments on Hayden make me think that you havent seen him bat.
He is 6ft 4in, bats a couple of feet outside the crease, and plays predominantly off the front foot. Therefore, he is ALWAYS going to get the benefit of the doubt more than most when it comes to LBW decisions.
Hayden has been, and remains, one of the 3 or 4 most feared batsmen in the world.
As I said before, a career should be analysed from a standpoint of more than 12 months.
At this stage, Strauss' career, whilst off to a fantastic start, is only in its' infancy.
