My favourite players from all the major teams:
India - Sachin Tendulkar(no need to elaborate), Rahul Dravid(fighter to the core, exceptional technique)
SA - Jacques Kallis(immense value as batsman and bowler), Shaun Pollock(their only truly world class bowler)
NZ - Nathan Astle(one of the best batsmen of the modern era), Chris Cairns(genuine all-rounder, explosive in batting and a good bowler in helpful conditions)
SL - Muthiah Muralitharan(vying for the title of the greatest ever), Aravinda DeSilva(easily the best batsman SL has ever produced)
WI - Carl Hooper(a lot of wasted talent, very elegant and exceptional against spin), Brian Lara(genius, albeit a little flawed)
Aus - Matt Hayden(has come of age, exceptional against pace and spin), Glenn McGrath(accurate, penetrative, one of the best fast bowlers of all time)
Eng - Marcus Trescothick(has the talent and attitude to end up as an all-time great)
Zim - Andy Flower(one man army, plays great under extreme pressure, wonderful player of both pace and spin)
Pak - Waqar Younis(great fast bowler), Wasim Akram(greatest left arm pacer ever)
