Both squads look good, although I would like to see Kumble in the test side.

 

[dudeurfriend]

Kumble is a good bowler but not someone who would replace Murali,because the world eleven would go with three seamers and a spinner. In that case Murali is ahead of kumble......

Who said he had to replace Murali? He could replace Pathan. We don't need four medium pacers. Three will suffice.

 

[chaminda_00]

there playing on the SCG so u could have two spinners if u play Flintoff or Kallis in the top 6. My pick would be Kaneria, he bowled brilliantly aganist Australia, better then Kumble in India against the Aussies.

 

[dudeurfriend]

Kumble is my pick..... he is Ahead of kaneria........

haha i almost thought you copy & pasted my selection, but just saw the pathan for vaas substitution. i'd certainly love to see pathan in there, but i don't know if he'll get the nod over chaminda vaas.

 

[dudeurfriend]

Well Pathan is a good exponent of swing bowling...He is a good bet.... He would perhaps get the nod as he is the most promising player according to ICC....

Brian Lara
Sachin Tendulkar
Rahul Dravid
Jacques Kallis
Andy Flintoff
Shaun Pollock
Kumar Sangakkara
Irfan Pathan
Muttiah Muralitharan

ODI:
Sachin Tendulkar
Stephen Fleming
Rahul Dravid
Brian Lara
Sourav Ganguly (C)
Jaques Kallis
Andy Flintoff
Shaun Pollock
Kumar Sangakkara
Irfan Pathan
Muttyiah Muralitharan

Reserve players: Harmison (as a bowler), Courtney Browne (smoothest keeper ever), Ram Sarwan (building up to be a 'wall', similar to Dravid).

At least its a bit different from the obvious choices.

Spot on bookie.... A good team selected by you.......

Test XI

Sehwag*
Vaughan (c)
Dravid
Lara
Tendulkar
Sangakarra
Flintoff
Pollock
Kumble
Shoaib
Murali

* The only caveat is that I'd like to see Strauss against Australia in the Ashes. If he performs, I'd put him in for Sehwag.

Andrew Hall (not being biased or anything, but check out the guy's stats)

Test batting average in the 20s... test bowling average in the 30s... 13 matches. Sorry, I don't see what is even remotely remarkable about those stats.

Also, your test team has 12 players.

Hall is a 3rd-rate hack

I was just gonna see you people's response. Don't worry, I put down 12 players for a reason (See, when you take Hall out, it makes 11).

Going by that, why didnt you pick 13 players? Surely you're also having us on by picking GSmith .....arent you?

Good work, i hard a laugh
But u picked Sangakkara at 9 below Pollock, i gather ur South African, but come on, Sangakkara is a better bat then Pollock. It is still a pretty good side

Chaminda - What's with your signature mate? Bit out of order

First time I've read it, that's all. Bit rough on Warne. You must be a saint.
