Greame Swann
Greame Swann will be the 12th Man, With Shakib being gone already (He was my Ideal pick for the 12th man) was confused between him and Mooen Ali although moeen can bat a bit but his bowling average against top countries espc. is too high around 40 ish.
Greame Swann will play on dry pitches mostly in subcontinent and will form a lethal spin combo with Nathan Lyon.
Swann's record on subcontinental pitches was outstanding as he picked up 73 wickets @25.54 with 5 fifers and his performances elsewhere were nothing but exceptional as he averaged under 30s except Australia where obviously the Best Spinner of the Decade 'The GOAT' Lyon will play.
Kohli will lead my side as he hold the test mace for three consecutive years between 17 and 19 and won most matches as Test Skipper last Decade.
STATS : 193 Wickets @30.14 with 13 Fifers and 2Ten wicket hauls
