There a are many truly great batsmen in the history of the game but not all have been at their best on bad or deteriorating tracks.On a bad pitch the greatest of batsmen have failed while marginally lesser batsmen have overshadowed them Here I am selected a batting line up for all all time test world xi for a broken wicket.

1.Victor Trumper
2.Jack Hobbs
3.George Headley
4.Rahul Dravid
5..Alan Border
6.Javed Miandad
7.Gary Sobers.


Victor Trumper was the ultimate batting wizard on wet tracks,Hobbs and Headley outscored Bradman on wet pitches,Border and Miandad revealed the grit and intensity of military commanders ressurecting a team from the grave while Dravid was an epitome of resistance like a boulder. while Sobers was often majestic in alien conditions .Steve Waugh,Rohan Kanhai,Ian Chappell and Gundappa Vishwanath just miss out.
 
Somene who prized their wicket basically

Steve Waugh
Miandad
Ranatunga
Hussey (Mr Cricket)
