Why aren't people picking Warne ?
This justifies Kohli's logic of not playing Ashwin and Jadeja together outside Asia.
If you can't pick Warne +Murali then you can't pick any 2 spinners together ?

Both Ashwin and Jadeja can bat. Do we get 2 out of 5 bowlers who can bat in 2000s XI? Pollock is the only one.

In a team where Kallis bats 6 and Gilcheist bats 7 think we are ok

 

[ankitj]

It is very very tempting to pick Warne + Murali though. But Pollock has to be picked in that case to make sure we have 3 world class bowlers and a decent #7. Will we be able to pick Warne after picking Pollock now?

Would way prefer both Pollock and Warne - but frick it, Pollock's batting is too valuable to miss.

Somehow we’ve gone from no spinner in the 80’s team to some people wanting two for the 00’s.

Prob due to the quality of the spinners

Ftr if you pick Warne you need to pick Flintoff at 6/7.
I would

I dead set feel like Mrs Pollock has hacked dozens of accounts here.

Half expecting the next thread to be a poll entitled "Dishiest Redhead from Port Elizabeth" and for there to be only one voting option.

You know it's not the same spinners under consideration for this team, don't you?

 

[sunilz]

Where do Warne/Murali rank in overall bowling rankings ( pace+ spin) ?

I think Kallis could bat a bit.

No I was confused, thanks for clearing that up for me.
