Bowlers
Close but no cigar:
Glenn McGrath – Australian paceman’s control infuriated batsmen into errors, and if that didn’t work his away swing would get them. But with Pollock in the team, the other bowlers I need to be “in your face” wicket takers
Muttiah Muralitharan – The world record test wicket taker has bowling ability that is never in question but it is his batting that keeps him out of the team.
Selected:
9. Shane Warne – Australia’s greatest ever spinner has proved himself to be devastating on almost any pitch all over the world. On top of that his ability to get into a batsmen’s head (Anyone remember Darryl Cullinan) and his batting that almost warrants him an all rounder means he gets the nod ahead of Murali.
10. Allan Donald – White Lightning gets his place in this team as the all out quick ahead of a lot of other great players purely due to his heart and that I feel e was more of a thinking cricketer than a lot of other fast bowlers. This pick I am sure will be contentious...
11. Wasim Akram – I picked Akram ahead of McGrath only for his amazing control and ability in reverse swing the ball.
That is my team, the test team I would travel anywhere in the world and pay any ticket price to see.
What I really look forward to here is comments from people, reminding me of players who I completely forgot about or completely contradicting my arguments with stats or just personal opinion.
