Damn you!!!!!!!!!! Gambhir was my next choice. Was stressing thinking I should have taken him earlier :(

Btw, unless I'm mistaken Carl Hooper debuted 1987, you'll need to pick another.

Very happy with how my ODI team has come out. Akhtar-Bond-Vaas are some fine pacers and Kumble is one of the best limited overs spin bowlers in history. A good blend of ecnomical bowling and strikers.
Trescothick and Pietersen make up a pretty strong 1 () 3 combo and Chanderpaul is a great addition down the order. Really just need two more good batsman to make this one of the top ODI teams.

Die Neun Neun Neuners looks great now but since they have to select WI WI NZ Minnow ENG that may weaken the team a bit. But Gayle, Ganguly, Ponting, Sangakkara is a heck of a top order.

Michael's team is wonderful though.

Sehwag, Lara, Dilshan, Cairns, Pollock, Waqar are all fantastic and Johnson (Zim) is one of the top minnow batsman.

I'm pretty happy with my test team - aside from accidently passing up Waqar in favour of Shoaib, but still Akhtar is pretty good and compliments Pollock and McGrath perfectly.

My ODI team still needs a few things to fall the right way, but McGrath-Saqlain-Streak-Klusener is a great attack thus far.

Somerset has a very impressive Test team considering he drew New Zealand.

Richardson
-
-
Jayawardene
Flower
-
Vettori
-
Bond
Bishop

And with Aus, Eng, SA, Pak and India to come he should have some pretty high quality players to come.

Besides that I think my fave Test teams are Matt's or Bagapaths.
