My side is very different to everyones on here lol:

1. Sehwag
2. Strauss
3. De Villiers
4. Clarke
5. Tendulkar
6. J Kallis
7. MS Dhoni
8. Stuart Broad
9. G Swann
10. M Amir
11. M Asif

12th Shakib

I think the bowling options cover all variteies - swing ,seam, spin and pace/bounce and there is optimum depth in the batting with everyone up to 9 being able to get runs.

Anderson is very poor when the conditions arent cloudy. He is sub standard when the ball isnt swinging and thats why he shouldnt be in Australia

[golders]

Who would you take insted of Anderson then? I don't think there is anyone out there any better than him. Just as long as they don't take Bresnan. Surely they could get another five mph out of shazhad, if not for the ashes but in the next three years?

We need an out and out paceman.

seeing as anderson is englands main seamer, its pretty mad to suggest dropping him! finn will do well in australia because of extra bounce and pace.

So where is your team then ? you cant pick a world test side based on hypothetical conditions etc etc, if you go down that route then you can make an argument to leave virtually any player in any team out because of certain conditions. My selections was based on offering something for everything hence two spinners.

sorry, it was more of a general comment rather than an attack on your team  shouldve made that clear[er]

[Watsontotty]

Lets see your team bud !

[peplow]

Its at top of the page i think!

[Watsontotty]

My point exactly bud its easy to pull holes in any team !

[peplow]

Yeah every teams will have weaknesses, no real perfect XI imo!
