with all respect to the guy, Tendulkar should be punted for Lara. Lara had a team which started of as one of the best, and ended off as a mere shadow of what it once was. to play so brilliantly in a team in constant decline takes determination, something tendulkar never truly had too face. mcgrath surely has to be there instead of barnes, and gilchrist instead of knot for batting depth, and healy for pure glovesman. wisden is way too biased towards english players. it would be like me putting a BD player in the team, even though some of the stupid fans from my country think that there should be. the english players deserve to be there, but you look at gilchrist, mcgrath, kallis, ponting, imran khan, hadlee and murali and you got to think, they should be there too. i think a more fair comparison would be modern era cricketers, perhaps post ww2, or even post Kerry Packer. i think it would certainly would be an interesting point of discussion.
