Side has a bit of everything. Excellent New ball pair with Hadlee and Starc and a proper 3rd seamer in Wagner and 4th seamer in Tony Greig. World class spin attack with Ashwin and Faulkner providing right arm off and leg spin and complemented by the pair of Compton and Clarke as the left arm leg and off spinners respectively to take up more bowling in spin friendly conditions. Batting is pretty packed with Jaiswal's aggression complemented by Gooch's technique and dour methods, Compton and Clarke provide the flair in the middle order while Tony Greig, Gilchrist, Faulker add lot of quality and class to the middle and lower middle order. Hadlee, Ashwin can both bat better than their counterparts in those numbers anywhere and we will have Starc and Wagner who can both either hold an end up for the better batter at the other end or just go and smash when in need of quick runs. Very well balanced side.

Kapil Dev
Waqar Younis
A.Donald
D.Underwood
12tn man A.Stewart
A reliable opening pair and a middle order bristling with talent. Two all-rounders and Dhoni add depth to the batting.
Waqar Younis, Donald, Dev and Botham are a solid pace quartet while the spin of Underwood and Simpson and the medium pace of Chappell give plenty of bowling variety.
Stewart as 12th man covers the wicket-keeping, an opening slot or middle order batting if required. The depth of bowling, with Lloyd added if required, gives flexibility if a bowler is injured.
There is a depth of experience with 10 of the 12 having captained Test sides for a total in excess of 350 Tests. The leadership goes to Lloyd whose 74 Tests as captain has a 36:12 win:loss ratio.

Quite a few talented players missed out L. Ames. Hashim Amla, D.Gower, S.McCabe. WG Grace, are just a few I thought might get picked somewhere.
