I remember learning about the direction of the crocodile's mouth as a 5 or 6 year-old, but I wasn't thinking when I posted.

Has anyone ever learnt about inequalities other than with crocodiles. It seems crocodiles are an essential part of maths.
Coronis

This is actually the first time I’ve ever heard of crocodiles in this context.

Ah, you must've been taught by the alligator school of mathematical pedagogy, or perhaps the more obscure gharial branch.

That's a very long tail in the 2nd XI with only an adequate 6/7. Pick McCullum for Boucher - better keeper and batter (and bat him ahead of Kapil). You could also pick AB but he is a far worse keeper than McCullum and Boucher.
Actually on 2nd thoughts I'd go with the following (Kallis as 5th bowler and Waugh/Border as 6th/7th). Drop Kumble.
Greenidge
Smith
Sangakkara
Kallis
Border
S Waugh/Miandad (Miandad would bat ahead of Border)
McCullum
Kapil
Murali
Anderson
Walsh

Ha ha. That No 3 position was the last position that I filled in. I could not think of any all-rounder worthy there. So, copied Botham from the reserves to the main team. Corrected now.

only picked players I’ve watched over the years except for pollock who I’ve seen only on you tube clips. Looking at it now I see my bias towards the great West Indian teams of the 70/80/90 the best squad of players to ever play imo. Gooch was a magnificent player of fast bowling and greenidge was a beast. Imagine if Viv had played 20/20, Chappell a maestro, Lara could hit it anywhere from anywhere and score big, pollock looked impossible to bowl to, Gilchrist even defended with power, Akram in all conditions excelled, warney the master competitor, Marshall my favourite player ever and the finest of bowlers, big Curtly always hitting the top of the bat.

Mankad for Jayasuriya.
It would also be interesting to see him discussing and practising "run outs" with Ashwin.

Jaya did well with the bat in Asia (and pretty well with the ball, but that is less of an issue in this team). I would rather get rid of Noble of the openers. Never played in Asia, and was a htb in Aus, which is more than a little different from Asia.

That’s two of my all-time favourite players you’ve mentioned there… ?
Two of my all-time favourite players in that list. ?
Bell is one of my favorite players. He is 9th in the all-time list of England run scorers. He is remembered for his classy cover drives. Leave him alone!

Were you on cricket 247 too?

We are not comparing nobodies here. Anyone who has played more than 100 tests is actually a good player. Just picked the worst of those. Any one in your mind better suited than Bell at 3 in that team?
