For the first scenario, I would include Martin Snedden - he could bore a glass eye to sleep.

What's the deal with Latif? I thought he was gagged for speaking out against match-fixing and abusive sledging, not participating in it.

Claiming a dropped catch vs Bdesh.

You forget Cronje and Azharuddin. Plus Dean Jones must get a place in the injured XI on that criteria.

If Latif is in for claiming a dropped catch, he may have to share the 'keeping duties with Greg Dyer.

Dustbowl XI:

1. Bill Ponsford (reputed to be one of the best players of spin EVER)
2. Matthew Hayden (first tour to India says it all)
3. Sourav Ganguly
4. Inzamam-ul-haq
5. Darren Lehmann
6. Clive Lloyd (skipper)
7. Ian Healy (keeper) (excellent keeper to spin)
8. Anil Kumble (bowls very well on spin paradises, and most other pitches besides)
9. Wasim Akram (did extremely well on unforgiving home pitches)
10. Waqar Younis (see Wasim)
11. Muttiah Muralitharan (would feel right at home)

International Captain
Dirty Play XI:

7. Rashid Latif (keeper)
8. Shane Warne

Hard to pick a bodyline side. Steve Waugh is probably the best player I have seen to have in a situation like that, though.
Are you kidding ? All you'll get is duck the ball -duck the ball-duck-duck-duck-duck.

The reason Steve Waugh was dropped and Mark Waugh played early on in their careers was because Steve couldnt keep the shots off the hort ball away from the fielders hands. It was only when he decided to abndon those shots that he was picked again. I'd think that a bodyline 11 would have players who could actually look to score successfully off that line of attack.

yeah dyer the liar as he was known after that.
interesting to see who would be picked in an 'injured XI' - meaning people who are currently injured, more long term injuries other than short term ones would be preferable, here's some names i could come up with(poor effort i must admit) - all of them bowlers which is hardly suprising

Bond
Gul
Shabbir
Mushtaq
