Here I am selecting i my teams for Asian test XI versus rest of the world xi in tests and ODi's.These do not comprise all the best
players but my favourite choices who I would love to watch.
TESTS
Asian xi
Virendra Sehwag
Majid Khan
Zaheer Abbas
Gundappa Vishawanath
Mohammad Azharrudin
Kumar Sangakkara (w)
Kapil Dev
Imran Khan(c)
Wasim Akram
Abdul Qadir
Bishen Bedi
REST OF THE WORLD XI
Barry Richards
Victor Trumper
Rohan Kanhai
Brian Lara
David Gower
Gary Sobers (c)
Adam Gilchrist(w)
Keith Miller
Shane Warne
Ray Lindwall
Michael Holding
What could be abetter sight witnessing the sheer poetry of Zaheer ,Kanhai,Vishy,Gower,Lara,Majid,Bedi or Holding reminding you of the strokes of painter on canvas.Also the sheer exuberance of a Sehwag or Gilchrist,the cavaliarism of Miller and the all-round cricketing genius of Sobers.Few batsmen could demolish opponents with the conviction of Sehwag or Gilchrist.Lindwall was perfection personified in fast bowling.Qadir took Wizardry in spin bowling to depths not traversed.Imarn led like a military commander and would be my ideal choice as a skipper of sub-continent side.
ODI'S
ASIAN XI
Sanath Jayasuriya
Sachin Tendulkar
Zaheer Abbas
Virat Kohli
Mohammad Azharuddin (c)
Mahendra Dhoni (w)
Yuvraj Singh

REST OF THE WORLD XI

Few could take entertainment to such a spectacular degree as Sannath,Viv ,Stokes or Gilly .Crowe,Gower,Waugh,Zaheer,Azhar and Yuvraj took batting aesthetics or artistry to regions of the sublime.Tendulkar was the ultimate embodiment of batting perfction.Holding's bowling was poetry in motion.Lloyd held bat like a bludgeon and I would love to see him lead the side.Virat took batting craft to unparalleled region sin modern times.
