World Test Team

[Brady]

though i would do the test version of it seing thou i posted the ODI version of it yesterday.

who makes your side?

mine would be,

1 - Hayden
2 - Smith
3 - Ponting(Captain)
4 - Sangakarra(Wicket Keeper)
5 - Hussey
6 - Clarke
7 - Flintoff
8 - Pathan
9 - Vettori
10 - Lee
11 - Sidebottom

 

[Sureshot]

What has Pathan done to deserve the No 8 spot? Or Flintoff for that matter. Not played any real length of test cricket in over a year.

With those two in the side it brings alot more balance to the team.

pathan looks a real good swing bowler who can bat,and freddie at full fitness is as good as any allrounder in world cricket.

 

[manee]

C'mon Brady, you gotta have Steyn in there in for Pathan.

 

[TruSachFan]

lol hussey man wasnt he just exposed by indian bowlers

and believe me his average will keep going down when aus tours india in sept

Steyn was in my thought's but i went with pathan instead

Lee and sidebottom opening with pathan and flintoff as they other pace options,plus the spin of vettori sounds pretty damn good to me.

anyways,you havent posted you're team.

lol hussey man wasnt he just exposed by indian bowlers

and believe me his average will keep going down when aus tours india in sept

Mike Hussey is all class.

he averaged 48.66 with a highest score of 145*

btw my test team

1. Hayden
2. Sehwag
3. Sanga
4. Sachin
5. Laxman
6. Hussey
7. Pathan
8. Kumble
9. Steyn
10. Lee (looked tired and overworked in CB finals)
11. Zaheer khan (not injured)

 

[lancashire666]

Steyn has simple got to be in the best world 11 at the moment, him and lee are by far the best seamers around, flitoff, when fit, gets into the team, but will his ankel ever be the same again???.

i totally agree with the top 4, but id prob have chanderpaul at 5 insted of hussey and id have murali in insted of Vettori, but vattori would be my 12 man incase they came to a spinning wicket where id play him and murali together

 

[Dare]

Smith
Hayden
Kallis
Chanderpaul
Jayawardene*
Sangakkara+
Misbah
Kumble
Lee 2
Murli
Steyn 1

allot of good players not there i know i know i don't have Ponting, Tendulkar and a few others but these are the guys that played good for the last year or so.

Lee
Clark
Steyn
Murali

If that were the case, I wonder how everyone seems to have forgotten Dravid. Except for the last 6 months, he has been outstanding averaging above 60 for the past 6 years or so.

My team would be

Hayden
Smith
Ponting
Tendulkar
Dravid
Kallis
Dhoni
Murali
Lee
Steyn
Akhthar


Can't help but notice the dearth of good fast bowlers. Had a hard time picking them.

1. Hayden

Got enough Indian players?
