Nicholls should open like Elgar did when he was here. After all he played a nuggety little innings in his last Test against SA.

If you're taking his bowling into account, Ashwin is better for sure, but he's not better as a bowler yet imo, not close. Bedi and Chandra gunned it overseas in multiple series. Ashwin needs a couple like those to put him over the edge.

Show me one series where Bedi 'gunned it' overseas in spin-unfriendly conditions against decent batsmen.

You don't include both Warne & O'Reilly?

Guessing your bowling attack would be Lillee, McGrath, Davidson, Miller & Warne with Lindwall just missing out

Pretty sure his opening bowlers would be The One True AB and TPC

Vettori makes NZ's all-time Test XI tbf & he averaged 33-34, although I suppose he does share the ball with Hadlee, Cowie, Bond & Cairns

Yes, but then again you don't base your whole bowling heritage on spin bowlers. There's nothing wrong with being best of a bad bunch and in a team...

Mr. Glass
If he survives the pacers, he could win you a match on his own in a turning track. Superb player of spin, but I don't like him much.

Is Guptil playing second Test? I think he makes it into my Worst XI of players (from major nations) who played over 40 Tests at this point. Maybe even 30.

If he gets to 50 Tests (and he probably will) he's the worst player to play 50 Tests for a side that isn't Bangladesh AFAIC.
