Team of the Decade

[drainpipe32]

Starting a new team of the decade thread. Just post your own teams here.

Test Team
Matthew Hayden
Graeme Smith(vc)
Ricky Ponting(c)
Rahul Dravid
Mohammed Yousuf
Jaques Kallis
Adam Gilchrist(wk)
Shane Warne
Muttiah Muralitharan
Makhaya Ntini
Glenn McGrath

That could possibly be the greatest team of all time. Anyone would shake in fear to play that line-up! Hard to choose the captain there, with four. Chose Ponting as his batting was the best out of them, plus Lara was a bit selfish as captain. Gilly missed out on deputy.

Sehwag missed out on the opening role,for Smith. Legends in Sachin, Mahela and Lara missed out for Dravid and Yousuf.

The attack chose itself.

That is such a ████ tail! But they'd rarely lose 7 wickets anyway....

ODI Team
Adam Gilchrist(vc)(wk)
Matthew Hayden
Ricky Ponting(c)
Sachin Tendulkar
Mohammed Yousuf
Jaques Kallis
Andrew Symonds
Brett Lee
Shaun Pollock
Muttiah Muralitharan
Glenn McGrath

The batsmen were incredibly hard to pick. So many people missed out, and my team is probably a bit biased.

The bowlers were once again easy to pick.

Now it's your turn

Pretty much agree with this. The only thing is, I'm not too sure Shane Bond has played enough ODI cricket to warrant his place in the side. I'd much rather go for someone like Nathan Bracken who has been consistently been playing.
