I'm not too sure what Cricket you've been watching over the past few years. Granted they've struggled on the sub-continent, but a 1-1 draw with India isn't a bad result is it? India wouldn't repeat this in England, they don't have a pace attack to speak of. England's team have been outplayed in the one-dayers, but it hasn't exactly been their first team.\n\nI predict that they will go unbeaten in tests this summer before retaining the ashes against a weakening Australian side in the winter, becoming the number 1 test side in the World in the process. Anyone remember last summer?

Test Cricket ---------- BRIAN LARA\n                        INDIA - RAHUL DRAVID\nODI-------------------- SACHIN TENDULKAR\nPONTING is a close follower in both forms of the game.\n\nDhoni has a long way to go. Even he cant be compared with these greats.
677585
best batsmen\n1)rahul dravid -greatest technician of all times, worth applause for his consistency and mental strength.now a very good 1-day player aswell.\n2)ricky ponting-might break few of tendulkar's records in the near future\n3)tendulkar-dropped 2 places only due to his form..still a very good 1-day player when he gets going.but with the talent he has & the volume of cricket he plays ,should have been more consistent\n4)inzamam ul haq-ice cool, or atleast he looks so\n5)herschelle gibbs\n\n6)mathew hayden-now slightly out touch,once there were talks if he was a better batsman than sachin\n7)brain lara-now this guy makes 375 in a test match,after almost a decade someone breaks it ;it  took him only few months to claim it back.but seriously needs some motification to bring out his talent\n8)jaques kallis-one of the best all-rounders the game has produced.\n9)kumara sangakkara-made his mark very quickly in international cricket\n10)kevin peiterson-now this was a tough choice-his exploits in international cricket are limted due to recent entry..but his abilties might take him to great heights..or should i change him with dhoni????\nbowling\n1)muralitharan -this something most experts would agree with.all his life he was blamed for chucking.still came up with gr8 results.\n2)shane warne-another spinner; quality spinners are hard to play\n3)glenn mcgrath-can bowl all day long in the corrridor of uncertainity.\n4)makhaya ntiny-got lots of venom in his bowling\n5)shaun pollock-another mcgrath like bowler\n6)chamind vass\n7)steve harmison\n8)toss up b/w akhtar & bond\n9)andrew flintoff\n10)anil kumble-gr8 fighter;but gets  dissapointed when a catch is dropped or someone misfields\nthere are many more.....\nfielders\nnow can't rate them -i'll just list them \ngibbs,ponting,kaif,yuvraj,rudolph,salman bhatt,..\nslip fielding-warne,fleming,dravid,astle....\n\nnow there are chances that i might have missed a few names in these lists...u may or may not agree with me...i tried to justufy my choices...
482364
Cubs, Yankees, or Red Soxs have to be in the tope 3 in my opinion
804628
ALL TIME XI\n1.B. Richards(SA) (9 hundreds before lunch - best opener)\n2. S. Gavaskar(IND) (perfect technique, 10K runs as opener!)\n3. D. Bradman(AUS) (99.96 - best batsman of all time)\n4. J. Hobbs(ENG) (toss up with K. Miller, but 61K career runs, cant be wrong!)\n5. G. Sobers(WI) (awesome all rounder)\n6. A. Border(c) (AUS)(toss up with V.Richards, but border is mora aggr. capt.)\n7. A. Gilchrist + (AUS)(there was a couple of others, but his batting gets it)\n8. S. Warne (AUS)(no dispute - best spinner of all time)\n9. D. Lillee (AUS)(Awesome new ball bowler with swing and control)\n10. M. Marshall (WI)(toss up with M.Holding, but I saw more of Marshall)\n11. J. Garner (WI)(My other opening bowler, devestating to face)\n(12.G. McGrath) (AUS)(prob best of modern era, just missed out)\nFor those who think there is an Aussie bias, have a look at the overall win loss of Australia throughout the history of cricket. There is a bias, but it is because in the 130 odd years of Test cricket, there are the most successful team so far.
41553
As a team it is Australia.\nAs an individual also it is Don Bradman - an Australian.\nAmong the present day cricketers, my vote is for M.S.Dhoni & V. Shevag

if u talk about the single team .. the Gr8 westindies 11 in the leader ship of Clive Lyod is the best 11 in my analysis.\n\ni know ive miss many gr8s but my best 11 is .. \n1-Desmond Haynes, \n2-Matthew Hayden/Sunil Gavasker,\n3-DOn Bradman,\n4-Sachin Tendulkar, \n5-Brian LARa,\n6-Adam Gilchrist, \n7-Imran Khan,(c)\n8-Richard Hadlee,\n9-Shane Warne/ Muralitharan,\n10-Malcom Marshall, \n11-Glen Mcgrath,  \n\n12-Steve Waugh/Ricky Ponting or Ian Botham the 12th man

to me netherland and scotland will have the best chance for qualifying for the first ever 20/20 championship only bcz they have played more international cricket than the other teams that are in your list. so their players are more experienced and can play better.
547372
I think there are 3 teams honestly\nIndians (on a good day)\nBrewers (on a winning streak)\nTigers  (came from no-where)\n\nthats just in the A.L.

Young Warriors Cricket Club\n\n** i've a team in bd with this name. u r in india so u can use it.

Don't listen to them!\nAUSTRALIA!! number 1 in Tests and 1 day matches! Nuff said!

From nowhere, the team has now come on top.  They are going stronger by every match.  If they continue to play as they do now, they can beat any team in the world.  They have very good batsmen in Cris Gayle, Chandrapaul, Sarvan and Lara and good allrounders in the form of Cris Gayle, Bravo and Samuel.

well its a very tough task to choose who is the best middle order batsman among those three names. well i guess it will be dravid purely because he has bailed out his team from danger in both oneday and testmatches in comparision to the other two, playing in the middle order.

well if u look at the team of the late or shud we say mid 90's  i thought it was a deadly team with Aravinda Desilva nad ranatunga in the middle and sanath and romes and avishka in the top. Bowlers were lethal in murali and vaas. Well now the team has found some great talent. A player for the future should be Sangakara. A fantastic batsman who has excelled even in his wicketkeeping abilities.More like an ADAM GILCHRIST for Sri Lanka.And now that jayasuria i feel is ageing he and murali will both be the key for Sri Lanka.
