Pick: Harbhajan Singh
A fiery character who always plays with passion, Harbhajan Singh is a great choice for my spinner's spot. He's India 3rd highest wicket taker of all time and the most successful off spinner.

Gundappa Viswanath
A true artist with the willow, Gundappa Viswanath was an integral part of the Indian contingent during the 70's and 80's. He was equally adept against both spin and pace - using his twinkling footwoork and lumberjack wrists to punish the wiliest turners and the fastest bowlers to the boundary with ease and grace.

Marvan Atapattu
Atapattu scored all of his centuries and half centuries as a opener. During his career he scored 6 double centuries and finished his career with a average of 39 with 16 centuries and 17 fifties. I am happy with the 2 good openers that I have drafted.

Attapatu's departure has messed up my plans. So now my next pick Wisden Cricketer of Year 1984
Grit, guts and gumption personified Amarnath's roller-coaster career, which began in 1969 and spanned two eventful decades. He was cricket's Frank Sinatra - the master of the comeback. He started his career as suspect against short-pitched fast bowling, and finished it as one of the finest and bravest players of pace. His defining season was 1982-83: coming back to the side after three years, he stood tall to knock off 1182 runs - including five hundreds - in 11 away Tests against West Indies and Pakistan. He crowned the season with back-to-back Man of the Match awards at the climax of India's World Cup-winning campaign in 1983. But his world came crashing down again the following home season, when he managed only one run in six innings against that same West Indian team. "Mr Amarnought" got the axe. But it wasn't the end: he bounced back with renewed force and vigour and was soon hooking fast bowlers off his eyebrows again. He didn't go in for cheap runs - nine of his 11 Test centuries were scored overseas -- and he collected his share of bruises. He will be remembered as a batsman who didn't flinch in the face of fire.

Shoaib Mohammad possessed his father's enviable powers of concentration. He wasn't the most graceful or elegant batsman but his never-say-die attitude was enough to reward him with 7 centuries and 13 fifties at an average of 44.34.

I pick Fazal Mahmood.
Fazal Mahmood was the first great pace bowler of Pakistan post partition. He played a key role in gaining the team a Test status and also starred many a Pakistani victories of the team's early years. He is the first Pakistani in to take 100 wickets, passing the landmark in just 22 tests. The Wisden Cricketer of the Year, 1955, he is still regarded as one of the finest Pakistani bowlers to have ever played cricket. Oh well, I need a good seamer for my team, and he's just the type of a guy I want.
