Yes in designated places. To give some flexibility because I don't want folks whining too much about 'you should have had player X'

 

[subshakerz]

Ok then… there are 6 possible Indian teams and 36 possible New Zealand teams. So I’ll pick New Zealand.

I am asking you to pick one side each based on the options provided.

Ok then… there are 6 possible Indian teams and 72 possible New Zealand teams. So New Zealand wins.

New Zealand has more options so more versatility so more wins

Pick one side each with the options provided.

New Zealand has more options so more versatility so more wins

Only if those options provided a better quality final side.

In England? NZ. Anywhere else (besides NZ and Pakistan)? India

Turner
Richardson/Wright
Williamson
Taylor/Fleming/Connelly
Crowe
McCullum - keeper
Cairns/Reid
Hadlee
Vettori
Boult/Wagner/Southee
Bond/Jamieson

Either Richardson or Wright over Sutcliffe and Dempster? Atrocious.
"Connelly" instead of Donnelly? Terrible.
Crowe at #5? Be ashamed.
McCullum keeping instead of Watling? Disaster-class.
Grouping Boult/Wagner/Southee together so only one can be picked when Wagner plays a completely different role to the other two? Unforgivable.
Jamieson or Bond on the basis of a very short peak, whilst leaving Cowie out? Painful.

TL;DR: you failed.

What pitches are we discussing here? Ones on which Kumble and Harbhajan can bowl on and not look like **** or where Broad takes 8-15 by getting wild seam movement?

 

[Rob Wesley]

NZ will win if matches are played in England and NZ.

It's a mix in England. Old Trafford can spin. Not Headingley.

Well now there’s a lot more team options

What is "Old Trafford can spin"? Again, be specific because English pitches once allowed Jim Laker to take 19 wickets and now give people like Tongue 5fers for fun.
