I was yet to write my first review so I chose the topic with which I think I am comfortable.
Well am not sure if am supposed to write Best Squad EVER or from the current players!
Since other reviewers wrote about current players, so will I.
It is based on present form of players so sadly no Jaisurya !!!! And please note that it’s MY choice so don’t be surprised if some of the best known players ( did somebody said Sachin?)don’t come in the list.
And have chosen the players who I think can perform best under tough conditions. Also I have to say that real test is to choose bowlers looking at the way bowling has degraded in recent times.
And my choice of captain may not suit the most, but it is MY choice!
so without any wait here I go
World Test X1-
Mathew Hayden
Justin Langer
Rahul Dravid
Brian Lara
Ricky Ponting
Adam Gilchrist (W)
Shaun Pollock
Shane Warne (C)
Shoaib Akhtar
Makhaya Natini
Glenn Mcgrawth
World LOI XI-
Mathew Hayden
Adam Gilchrist(W)
Ricky Ponting
Sachin Tendulkar
Jacques Kallis
Michael Bevan
Chris Cairns
Shane Warne (C)
Makhaya Natini
Shaun Pollock
Glenn Mcgrawth
Note- 1. I initially included Kallis in test X1 but had to replace him by Pollock as it was lagging in bowling
I feel a nicely handled Shoaib Akhtar can be an asset to any team.Didn’t picked him in one dayers looking at extras though
I’ve always felt that Warney would have made a great leader.
Bevo hasn’t retired and I regard him the best batsman EVER in one dayers
