The New Millenium - Team of the Decade

[Dare]

Neither was Bevan really.

He did well enough since 2000.
No room for Lara in your test team? Also 12 players in your test team, trying to cheat

The guy who got his team to the Number 1 in the rankings, and always leads from the front. The guy who beat Pakistan in Pakistan, England in England and Australia in Australia doesn't deserve to be Captain. He rebuilt the team completely, unlike Ponting, who was given Waugh's team and lost twice to England in England. He Brought in players like De Villiers and Steyn. Gave Duminy, Van Der Merwe and Morkel a chance. The guy knows how to spot talent. Always cool and collected. Perfect Captain, who demands respect from all the players.

Yeah?? we shall look at the captaincy record then shall we?:laugh

 

[SciD]

Dizzy has had more success than Lee in test matches and also was more feared than Lee.

The best way to resolve this, I am going on cricinfo to find out who got the most runs and wickets 2000 onwards, to make an even balanced team, problem solved.

Tests:
6 Batsmen - Punter, Kallis, Hayden, Dravid, Jayawardene, Tendulkar
4 Bowlers - Murali, Ntini, Lee, McGrath
WK - Sangakkara

ODI:
6 Batsmen/all-rounder - Punter, Tendulkar, Yousuf, Jayasuriya, Kallis, Jayawardene
4 Bowlers - Murali, Lee, Pollock, Ntini
WK - Sangakkara

YOU CANNOT DENY THIS!

Actually you can Have you taken into consideration who they've performed against and where they've performed.

I don't think so a test side without Yousaf,he should be there in place of dravid.How can you miss a player who brakes the Sir DOn Bradman's record.
