World XI which would be nightmare for your Team

[trundler]

Taylor
Sehwag
Ponting
Sangakarra
Lara
De Villiers
Gilchrist
Warne
Steyn
Anderson/Philander
McGrath

Too many #3s but they all rekt us hard. Sanga and Ponting average 70 against us and Lara gets in on account of owning Kaneria harder than any bowler has ever been owned. Fairly unimaginative attack but they all rolled us over for depressingly two digit scores.

 

[morgieb]

Murali Vijay/ Vaughan / Anwar are the alternatives in recent years

Vaughan is the one that would be banned, FTR

Good catch on Vijay, in his prime it always felt like he redlined against Australia. Anwar was a bit before my time and Pakistan have never really done much against Australia so probably a bit behind a few of the others.

Well I did think if it wasn't Vaughan you were referring to it was Geoff Boycott tbh, that is going way further back than Anwar

 

[TheJediBrah]

Player needn't be ATG. You have watched those players playing against your side.

For India

Anwar
Hayden
Younis Khan
Steve Smith
Kallis
Chanderpaul
Andy Flower (wkt)
Pollock
Steyn
Walsh
McGrath

Honourable mention: Joe Root, Martyn, Donald, Mccullum.

Umpire: Steve Bucknor

Taylor
Sehwag
Ponting
Sangakarra
Lara
De Villiers
Gilchrist
Warne
Steyn
Anderson/Philander
McGrath

Pretty close to an ATG XI for the years Pakistan played tbh

 

[Gob]

True, but couldn't think of another opener and he at least had one outstanding series against us. Originally had Smith but his record against Australia is actually quite poor.

Though now I think about it I'm missing a very obvious name.....the one that would be banned if he were a CW member.

Michael Vaughan?

You can promote Amla as a makeshift opener aswell. Can Virat open?

 

[Gob]

Vs Aust

Sehwag
Vaughan
Lara
Tendulkar
Pietersen
Laxman

Steyn
Muralidaran

You just want England to face a side where the new ball will be taken by Hussey at the other end.

 

[Gob]

Mike Hussey was great in two series played in Australia but pretty meh in England. There should be better alternatives even if I limit it to my watching lifetime (post 96)

Smith
Dravid
Lara
Tendulkar
Smith
Waugh SR
Gilchrist
Warne
Muralidaran
Ambrose
McGrath

 

[Magrat Garlick]

G Smith

[Bahnz]

Stephen Fleming vs Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka

Chaminda Vaas vs New Zealand in New Zealand

 

[Daemon]

Shoaib Malik x 11

 

[honestbharani]

Hafeez scores against us too, for some reason.

 

[sunilz]

Hafeez scores against us too, for some reason.

So does Salman Butt.
But here we are mainly discussing about Test matches.

 

[Migara]

On a slow low track

Shewag
Sidhu
Lara

We are assuming that they are playing an ATG SL XI of Jayasuriya, Atapattu, Sangakkara, De Silva, M. Jayawardana, Mathews, P. Jayawardene, Vaas, Lakmal, Malinga and Murali

 

[tony p]

V Australia,

Bairstow has never opened in test cricket

Whereas Latham hasn't not opened.

Got them two the wrong way around mate.
