Simple take from many sports outlets. Thought it fun to make this thread.

Make a team of 11 players, with the 12th man from any two cricketing nations. Obviously you select the best guys from either team, say you make a combination from Australia and India or India and Afghanistan etc.

Purely subjectively though, select the 12 best guys youre comfortable. For the guys following Women’s cricket feel free to chip in with a women side as well.

So here is my combined team with the best players from Sri Lanka and India (Test side)

V. Sehwag
M. Atapattu
V. Kohli (c)
M. Jayawardene
M. Azharuddin (vc)
K. Sangakkara (wk)
C. Vass
S. Gupte
Z. Khan
R. Ratnayake
A. Kumble

12th man- Sachin Tendulkar

Tough call leaving guys out like Kapil, Sanath and Herath.

Edit: as per @Till Valhalla request.

Not a bad call tbh. Gavaskar for me though the way he handled the quicks from Aus and WI in the 80s is unparalleled in history. I see your point though slotting him at number 5 is strange.

Change made.

My change is not based on logic, it's just based on pure dislike of Gavaskar.
Russell Arnold robbed.
I am no cricket purist/historian, I only make observations on what I have seen or read.

I get that, understood. Same with Sachin for me.
