Why on earth would you select Boucher over Gilchrist or Dhoni AND when you already have DeVilliers and Sanga in the team?

 

[Ahmad94]

@RUDOLPH - I feel for both your sides are more about cramming quality players in to it rather than getting a solid XI. A lot of players seem to have the XI based solely on their reputation without regard of position or role.

My post ^ last year was "Best XI on paper" meaning statistically wise.

Mark Boucher has statistically more dismissals than Gilchrist and Dhoni as a keeper.

No englishmen, mostly because statistically they do not have the likes of Tendulkar that scored 100 x centuries nor a Muralitharan with 800 Test wickets.

Mark Boucher has statistically more dismissals than Gilchrist and Dhoni as a keeper.

Surely the dismissals are created by the bowlers. But more importantly, Boucher doesn't match the batting class of Gilchrist and Dhoni. And why have him when you have Sanga in the XI.

The answer is it's "HIS GREATEST ALL TIME XI"
