Harbhajan?? care to explain why he is your choice for a spinner.

 

[Insomniac]

You do know he's put himself in that line-up...

 

[Dare]

You do know he's put himself in that line-up...

yea that's because Dale Steyn is obviously his favorite player and Steyn does deserve to be in there.

Ah, I didn't think he may have been referring to Dale Steyn.

Although I do think instead of steyn rulz (his username) in the line-up, he could have just put Dale Steyn.

Its kind of like me saying:

Gautam Gambhir
Salman Butt
zMario
... and rest of the line up

 

[metallics2006]

There is a test player named Steyn but no test player at the moment called Mario or zMario.:

Also no Chanderpaul= no test team.

Too many #3 & 4 batsmen. You need Hussey and Chanders in the middle order.

shravi added 2 Minutes and 18 Seconds later...

Matthew Hayden
Graeme Smith / Virender Sehwag
Ricky Ponting
Kevin Pietersen
Kumar Sangakkara
Michael Hussey
Shivnarine Chanderpaul
Brett Lee
Muttiah Muralitharan
Ajantha Mendis
Dale Steyn

Substitutes: Andrew Flintoff, Stuart Clark, Gautam Gambhir, Jacques Kallis, Mohammad Yousuf

Too many #3 & 4 batsmen. You need Hussey and Chanders in the middle order.

Where do you think Ponting, Tendulkar and Sangakkara started out my friend? Down at #6, so it's not like they can't do it...


My team based on recent form and ability would be:

1. V.Sehwag
2. M.Hayden
3. K.Sangakkara
4. J.Kallis
5. M.Jayawardene (c)
6. S.Chanderpaul (vc)
7. A.Symonds
8. B.Lee
9. M.Muralitharan (for quick runs haha)
10. S.Clark
11. D.Steyn
12. A.Mendis

Deep batting lineup with Symonds at #7. 4 specialist bowlers, plus Kallis, Symonds and Sehwag to support means a well rounded bowling attack

 

[Kelp]

Why do all of you keep omitting Yousaf? Isn't he the current record holder for most runs in a calender year?
