1. Vijay Merchant
2. Virendra Sehwag
3. George Headley
4. Rahul Dravid
5. VVS Laxman
6. Shakib Al Hasan
7. MS Dhoni+*
8. Kapil Dev
9. Malcolm Marshall
10. Anil Kumble
11. Michael Holding

In England/NZ/SA, Dravid will open in place of Sehwag, who will hide down the order.

It looks like a long tail but Imran averaged 46 so it isn't really.

 

[Silver Silva]

Dean Jones to complete the side .


Captained by Lindsay Hassett who won 14 out of 24 tests as Aussie skipper it has nice balance to it ,
Simpson & Hayden would be a great opening partnership ,world class in the slips too.
Williamson an absolute run machine at No.3 with the brilliant Hassett at no.4 , Jones a tough middle order bat who was a great team man will shield a dangerous lower order, Gilchrist the counter attacking keeper batsman has a great record at no.6 and Gregory a rampaging all rounder from back in the day.

Johnson & Bond are two 150+ bowlers I will use in short sharp spells with the sub25 spinner Trumble helping me rotate the quicks, Simpson will also pitch in with his leg breaks. The crown Jewel of the bowling side is undoubtedly McGrath who will seek the edge of any batsman.



1.Bob Simpson (Legspinner)
2.Matthew Hayden
3.Kane Williamson
4.Lindsay Hassett (C)
5.Dean Jones
6.Adam Gilchrist (WK)
7.Jack Gregory (Second change Seamer)
8.Mitchell Johnson (First change Seamer)
9.Hugh Trumble (Off Spinner)
10.Shane Bond (Opening Seamer)
11.Glenn McGrath (Opening Seamer)

I don't think @Jarquis is timed out yet and his last pick is a keeper from any country

I was quite surprised when you went with Hendren over him (though think Hendren is close).
