Well most of the times a player's form goes down around this age. That's what I was trying to get at.

Haha I remember Jaffer scoring a 200 in really quick time in one of the matches. Imagine if Sehwag had got going, would probably have broken Lara's record lol.
The pitches were very flat and Pakistan had some **** attacks as well in that series, under Shoaib Malik.TBF to Jaffer and Karthik though, they did a very steady, if unspectacular job in England, especially the Trent Bridge game where they batted very patiently to drive home the advantage of bowling England out cheaply.

Jaffer was a classy player. He lacked some feet movement but could have been a perfect partner for Sehwag!

In the ICC greatest team?
Honestly, it's a pretty ordinary team given the choices available. I don't feel comfortable at all having a team minus all those excellent cricketers (apart from Bradman) who played before the 80s.

he's not a guy who'll play for long as he''s not really that fit.

Worst idea
Pick a team of the modern era and include Bradman. I suppose any player not an Indian would feel justified being included

The ICC should get together some experts and come up with an exercise similar to when they slected the 5 players of the 20th Century or cricinfo all time team and select an official team.
Primarily when when looks around the internet at credible all time teams, they are basically the same. The main differences are the openers, with Hobbs, Hutton, Gavaskar, Sutcliffe and Sehwag all getting support. The constants are Bradman, V. Richards, Tendulkar, Sobers, Gilchrist, Marshall and Warne. Lillee, Mcgrath, Akram, Khan, Hadlee and Ambrose share support for the last two bowling places in opion as well.
The ICC needs to fix this though.
