The best one player or best from each?

Australia - ATM Clarke/Johnson, Overall Ponting
India - ATM Gambhir/Zaheer, Overall Tendulkar

As far as Australia goes over the last 12 months, Shane Watson looks as though he will cakewalk the ODI player of the year and strong favourite for the Allan Border Medal in a weeks time, while I think Katich is slightly in front of Johnson and Clarke as Test player of the year.
 
If we are talking about tests from 09 till now you played New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Of those tests Gambhir is probably a clear winner with Tendulkar and Dravid as distant runners up.
 
Overall-
Ponting and Tendulkar

Current best-
Aussie bowler-Mitchell Johnson
Indian bowler-Zaheer Khan
Aussie batsman-Shane Watson
Indian batsman-Gautam Ghambhir
Aussie allrounder-Shane Watson
Indian allrounder-Irfan Pathan,if he ever gets back on the team, otherwise no one.
 
Probably Mitch or Watson for Australia. Gambhir and Tendulkar for India. Mitch v Gambhir will be awesome, and Gambhir v Watson - Fight Night 2.
 
Virender Sehwag without a doubt. :thumbs

Without a doubt? I don't think so. Ever heard of Gautam Gambhir or Zaheer Khan?

I'm not having a go at you or anything but the Indian cricket team doesn't evolve around Viru.
 
I'll pick a combined XI for each. Not really based on current form so much - more on ability.
Tests:
1. Gautam Gambhir
2. Virender Sehwag
3. Rahul Dravid
4. Sachin Tendulkar
5. Ricky Ponting
6. Michael Clarke/Shane Watson - depending on the pitch. Watson if it's seaming, Clarke if it's spinning
7. MS Dhoni
8. Mitchell Johnson
9. Harbhajan Singh
10. Zaheer Khan
11. Peter Siddle

ODIs:
1. Sachin Tendulkar
2. Virender Sehwag
3. Ricky Ponting
4. MS Dhoni
5. Mike Hussey
6. Yuvraj Singh - Clarke/Kohli close, but I picked Yuvraj for extra bowling and to finish the innings
7. Shane Watson
8. Mitchell Johnson
9. Harbhajan Singh
10. Brett Lee
11. Nathan Bracken
Obviously Lee and Bracken aren't fit at present, so I'd have Zaheer Khan and Dougie Bollinger as their replacements.
 
^ Those are some fiery line ups. But i would pick a fit lee over siddle in tests any time.
