...BorderOff the top of my head, Tendulkar, Waugh, Dravid.
He wishes...Border
Yeah but he didn’t play as many matches as Cook I’m afraid.??? Border averages significantly more away than at home.
I thought it was border and waugh with most tests for australia, rather than ponting waugh. I always get that wrong.Yeah but he didn’t play as many matches as Cook I’m afraid.
That team is fine other than in practice for a match you'd want Steyn and be forced to pick between Warne and Murali.The men's Test XI of the last 25 years
No Dravid, Ambrose or Cook. Who makes the cut then?www.espncricinfo.com

Wasim over ambrose becoz of his batting I guess.No Ambrose?! Fine, I'd pick him and ten others and beat that side.
Definitely think Smith should had been in, in place of Ponting.The men's Test XI of the last 25 years

How about?No Ambrose?! Fine, I'd pick him and ten others and beat that side.
Ashwin - Jadeja for Shakib- Kumble personally. Rest is pretty spot on.How about?
G Smith
Dravid (he'd be fine opening)
Sanga
S Smith
S. Waugh (c)
Flower (wk) - tough on Healy, but no Warne and want the batting and a 5th bowler
Shakib/Cairns ?
S. Pollock
Kumble
Steyn
Ambrose
Although Smith had those 2 monster series in 2017, Ponting IMO still had a good enough case to be included over him till thenDefinitely think Smith should had been in, in place of Ponting.
They would be now (2024), but not in 2017.Ashwin - Jadeja for Shakib- Kumble personally. Rest is pretty spot on.
Oh, actually missed smh it was till 2017. Then it's definitely alright.Although Smith had those 2 monster series in 2017, Ponting IMO still had a good enough case to be included over him till 2017-18
