Clarke and AB over Sachin?

Also, whatsup with 6 bowling options in the side? Aren't 5 enough? Or you don't trust the BEST 5 bowlers of the world?

Did you watch any New Zealand games over the past 2 years or so? Vettori is as much a batsman as any in Shravis side. It gives him 2 spin options and 4 pace options if Watson was to be used.

Clarke is one of 7 batsman to score 1000+ runs this year and De Villiers has done as well as Tendulkar this year.

Two changes.

Shane Watson ahead of Virender Sehwag, Graeme Smith, Simon Katich and Andrew Strauss? Watson's not even the best opener in the Aussie side, yet to make a hundred for example. Liking the rest of the team though, could argue for the inclusion of Jacques Kallis, but a batting order of Gambhir, Watson (hmm), Dravid, De Villiers, Clarke, Dhoni, Vettori, Swann and Johnson is gonna make some serious runs. Would have Vettori as skipper as well.

Graham Onions > Mohammed Asif as well <3 old Onions, when Lily Allen declares her love for Asif we'll talk. Until then, it's Onions all the way. I am loving the inclusion of Swanny though, so maybe I'll let you off. Swanny is god.

Watson's in to make this a killer bowling line up of Asif, Steyn, Johnson, Vettori, Swann and Watson. Bowlers can't complain about workload and the captain has more than enough options. I agree though. Sehwag, Smith, Katich and Strauss could easily have made it in front of him. I might just change it because I hate Watson lol.

Swann is the best spin bowler in international cricket at the moment. I'm surprised it took England this long to go through the rubbish that is Panesar and Rashid and realize how much better Swann is.

Have yourself some reps. Swanny's quickly becoming my 2nd favourite England cricketer. The guy's brilliant. He has some real personality unlike Monty and Rashid, he's a much better spinner and is proving himself to be a genuine all-rounder. I'd be amazed if he didn't ton up next year, amazed Broady's batting ahead of him. <3 abit of Swanny, next England captain tbh

 

[shravi]

I meant best spin bowler. Oops. Still rate him very highly though.

 

[King Pietersen]

Yeah, I presumed that's what you meant. The stats would certainly back that claim up as well. 2nd leading wicket-taker in the world, just 8 wickets behind Mitchell Johnson, who's played 1 more Test. Just hoping his good form lasts longer than Monty's did, it should, he's nowhere near as one dimensional as Monty.

my captain would be ponting as he is the most experienced captain now.

 

[stefan]

Actually Smith has captained more test matches than ponting. 71 compared to ricky's 65.
