Good bump IMO.

See, that`s bloody boring IMO. Besides Cook, you`ve got 10 of the World`s Best Players. Boring.

Nah, Murali is not in there. Tendy is not in top form. Hayden is OK these days, and Gilly is not in form.

 

[silentstriker]

But I'll give you another one:

1) Hayden
2) Cook
3) Dravid
4) Pieterson
5) Hussey
6) Flintoff
7) Gilchrist +
8) Warne *
9) Bond
10) McGrath
11) Panesar (for the fielding fun)

And Warney as captain.

5) Ajit Agarkar

Great batting depth mate, should take away any chances of the opposition ever bowling you out.

 

[Perm]

1. Upal Tharanga
2. Shahriar Nafees
3. Brian Lara (c)
4. Kevin Pietersen
5. Michael Clarke
6. Adam Gilchrist (wk)
7. Dwayne Bravo
8. James Franklin
9. Farveez Maharoof
10. Brett Lee
11. Nathan Bracken

3 frontline pacers, 2 back up seamers and a couple of batsman who can twirl the arm over for the bowling. Batting depth is pretty good too.
