How many tests left?
You can have 4,5,6 any amount of ATG sppedsters all you like and will still be hammered in sub continent against any half decent team if you don't have at least 2 proper spinners.

Batting looks ordinary but you assembled a terrific bowling unit. Will demolish average teams like the one FC constructed.

You’re talking about demolishing Ponting Lara and Tendulkar)

Could have picked a couple of big names in the middle order.

What strikes me is the amount of leadership in that group .
Yeah just realised. Top 6 are all captains and quite successful ones too barring Sohail
Bhaijaan XI

Prithvi Shaw (wk)
Marnus Labuschagne
Ricky Ponting (c)
Sachin Tendulkar
Brian Lara
Adam Voges
Sunil Narine
Jofra Archer
Shoaib Akhtar
Kuldeep Yadav
Curtly Ambrose
He has a great bowling attack actually. Bhaijaan XI will be honoured to test their batting prowess against a skilled bowling line up like that. We encourage tough challenge. The sort of attitude yoy can have when you don't have Shane Watson as your test opener![]()
Dude seriously?

amd quite famous and sensible captains actually..
Always good to see ownership in the batting line up.
Batting captains are very important part of the batting line up.
Make sure to keep Javed Miandad fielding at the circle firing Lillee up![]()
You’re talking about demolishing Ponting Lara and Tendulkar)
It's the last day of trash talk before poll comes up.
Come on guys fire some shots
Where is AB de Villiers. Has he announced retirement already![]()
Could have picked a specialist keeper, someone like Rizwan. With Lara, Ponting and Sachin, you wouldn't need his batting.
Btw, where is Pandya?
Lara is quite a challenge. Ponting too but can be tamed. Sachin doesn’t do greatly against top bowers anyway. Even Stevens I’d say

Ha voges. Could name 5 better batsman in Aus that have played less tests during their golden era
And you talk to me about no spinners. Chappell would be better than Kuldeep and Narine. Maybe not as good as Labu though who is your best test spinner
In all honesty, we would be 700/4 before you could spell seven Stevens bro![]()

On a typical flat pitch against Bichel, Bracken, MacGill sure)
I think some has picked Macgill in the draft. Be careful![]()
Bhaijaan, your views on Greenidge pick is still pending.
Anyways,
My lineup
Barry Richards
Gordon Greenidge
Cheteshwar Pujara
Viv Richards
AB de Villiers
Van der dussen
Andrew Flintoff
Ravi Ashwin
James Pattinson
Ryan Harris
Allan "Lightning" Donald
Very balanced team. Well done bhai. You will decimate bhaijaan's XI with 2 days to spare![]()
Well, don't think Bhaijaan's team will be able to cope up till the second day itself)
My players are always ready to give a helping hand to train his youngsters though..

I am loving the balance in this team.
For sure Fawad is the black goat in that group but you have nailed the bowling. 5 specialist bowlers, 2-3 spinners also, this team will do go good everywhere

Chappell better spinner than Kuldeep. Of course I trust you on that![]()
Saeed Anwar >>>>>> Prithvi Shaw)
Sanath Jayasuriya >> Labuschane

Shane Warne >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sunil Narine

FDP 7 - FC 4
)
Hussey <<< Sachin. Mr Cricket was a huge home track bully
how can you compare Kusal and Kuldeep
Shoaib >> Johnson. Johnson was the GOAT fast bowler for a summer and not great outside that
Curtly >>> Rabada
I am afraid [MENTION=65183]freelance_cricketer[/MENTION] has likely got you here
Ok. As the final pick of the draft i present to you a batsman from the folklores of carribean cricket. An unfortunate tumor in the eye made his career go downhill. But before that his batting was of such a standard that the legendery Sobers tipped him to be the greatest west indian batsman of all time. Michael holding believes he is the greatest batsman he has ever seen and Desmond Haynes named him as his boyhood hero. I pick the only man to score a double and a century in the same test : Lawrence Rowe.
Johnson was overall a better test bowler than temperamental Shoaib. This is coming from a Pakistani. He won Australia series in South Africa.
However, even if you give that to Shoaib, still makes it 6-5![]()
In debut.Many, many batsmen scored a double and a century in the same test
Gooch
Walters
Gavaskar
Chappell
Lara
Sanga
probs more I am missing
Well Kuldeep cannot be compared to Kusal. All his players that are better are way, way better so that simplistic comparison is bogus
Johnson was the GOAT for 2 series as I stated. He was the definiton of temperamental. Shoaib was way, way better over his career. This is coming from an aussie
Shaoib for all his bursts on and off the field, hasn't achieved a lot. Remains as one of the what-if stories of Pakistani cricket.
So my team
1.Graeme Smith
2. Virendra Sehwag
3. Richie Richardson
4. Lawrence Rowe
5. Allan Border
6. Shahid Afridi
7. Ben Foakes
8. Saqlain Mustaq
9. Pat Cummins
10. Andy Roberts
11. Jashprit Bumrah
Confused in captaincy between Border and Smith. Any advice?
way, way better average than Johnson while playing on flatter pitches. Between 2008, 2013 Johnson had 5 years of being crap
As a bowler shoaib was slightly better and less condition dependent. If the match is played is subcontinent Shoaib will be much better.Well Johnson's 2 years of greatness overshadows the entire career of Shoaib. Unfortunately the latter had more talent and sheer ability to perform that way across many years but he couldn't. That is the bottom line.
MY TEAM
1.Sunil gavaskar
2.Lee Irvine
3.Brad Hodge
4.Damien Martyn
5.Kevin Pietersen
6.Quinton De kock(wk)
7.Jason Holder
8.Wasim Akram
9.Ian Bishop
10.Stuart Clarke
11.Muttiah Muralitharan.
Any ideas about captaincy?

So i lived to see the day when i was defending Shoaib against Johnson debating against a Pakistani.
Shabby has heard you bro, he will be fired up.
