Williamson’s 11 vs Hayden’s 11

[Fuller Pilch]

Tbf Kane also took Akhtar over Bumrah.... Which is rather, uh.

He's only watched Bumrah in tests against NZ

Possibly Jadeja for Shakib and/or Sehwag for Dravid

Surely if a proper Opener comes in its for Williamson

The next best would be who? Khawaja? I'll rather open with Dravid and have KW at 3

 

[Burgey]

What's the story with them being unable to pick the same players? Were the teams meant to play each other and they took turns having first pick as they went down the order?

 

[Thala_0710]

If Sehwag was available, he'd open and Dravid would be at 3 yes, with KW missing out from the XI

Yes, not necessarily in batting order though

Me too. But if he comes, it's for Kane not Dravid

It's like a draft Burgey. I know you're a fan.

 

[Burgey]

ewwwww

 

[Burgey]

Would have been more interesting if they'd listed them in the order they were picked.

 

[Coronis]

Lara as captain is an interesting choice too imo. Also obviously - Lara should be batting at 3 and Kallis at 4.

 

[Coronis]

Something very interesting to note:

Lara at 3 vs 4 by opponent

Australia 14 vs 37
England 27 vs 21
India 8 vs 20
New Zealand 6 vs 8
Pakistan 5 vs 17
South Africa 5 vs 26
Sri Lanka 5 vs 13

Clearly scared of everyone but England and NZ
