All-time overseas test xi to tour India and Pakistan(no sub-continent players considered)

Gordon Greenidge
Matthew Hayden
Rohan Kanhai
Everton Weekes
Alan Border
Gary Sobers
Adam Gilchrist
Malcolm Marshall
Shane Warne
Andy Roberts
Courtney Walsh






Preferred the likes and performances of Weekes,Kanhai and Border on slow turning pitches than Viv or Lara.Marshall was master in innovation and craft on flat tracks as well as Andy Roberts and Courtney Walsh.Bradman never toured India so I left him out.Can never forget the batting of Weekes in 1950 and later Kanhai and Border on the sub-continent.Walsh was brilliant on both the 19887-88 and 1994 tours.Sobers was at his best in India .Chose Greenidge and Hayden as they proved themselves here unlike Barry Richards,Hutton or Hobbs.Lillee and Ambrose did not prove themselves here and Mcgrath and Hadlee just miss out ,both not being genuinely quick.

No Steyn? Lol
 
You couldn't find anyone doing better than Warne? Warne averages near 40 in India+Pakistan.
