To me Ricky Ponting is argeably the best batsman in world cricket and agree with his decision not to enforce the follow on but showed a real weak side as a captain by batting on on the fourth day. Let's hope that Ashley Giles will justify his position in the side and make a ton tomorrow and win us the first test. Otherwise bring back Monty for the second test and get Steve Harmison to an opticians.

I reckon the batsmen.\n\nSimply because bowlers seem to be more specialised wheras batsmen are often great all-rounders too.\n\nnice question..........

----------------\nODI World XI\n----------------\n1.  Adam Gilchrist\n2.  Sachin Tendulkar\n3.  Stephen Fleming (c)\n4.  Rahul Dravid\n5.  Michael Hussey\n6.  MS Dhoni (wk)\n7.  Andrew Flintoff\n8.  Irfan Pathan\n9.  Shane Warne\n10. Shane Bond\n11. Glenn McGrath\n\n-----------------\nTest World XI\n-----------------\n1.  Matthew Hayden\n2.  Michael Hussey\n3.  Ricky Ponting\n4.  Michael Vaughan\n5.  Rahul Dravid (c)\n6.  Andrew Flintoff\n7.  Adam Gilchrist (wk)\n8.  Shane Warne\n9.  Shane Bond\n10. Makhaya Ntini\n11. Glenn McGrath\n\nIt should be evident from the Super Series that players shouldn't just be picked on star-value, but also grit, mental strength, consistency, and current form.\n\nODI team: It has 5 specialtist bowlers, besides Tendulkar and Hussey can bowl part-time if neeed. Flintoff and Pathan also add depth to the batting line-up. I have included both Dhoni and Gilchrist because they are just too good to be left out. Dhoni's current batting form is far better than stars like Lara and Inzamam. Besides, he's young and at his prime.\n\nTest team: I have included 5 specialist bowlers: McGrath, Ntini, Bond, Flintoff, and Warne. The batting lineup is quite strong with Gilchrist batting at number 7. \n\nStardom is not the criteria for selection here. The players are selected on the basis of their temprament, commitment, consistency, teamwork, and current form: something that separates good teams from the others.

The best batsmen is Inzaman ul Haq, and the best bowler is Shoaib Akhtar\n\nRight now its quite difficult to pick out a bad player - because they are all playing very good cricket...and wow what a super test that was to come back and win against India - wow - incredible...\n\nI'm an Indian fan - but India wilted under akhtar/razzaq/asif attack...

Australia are always the favs when it comes to these kind of tournaments. The second tier of potential winners are Pakistan, India, and England.  My vote is for Pakistan, because, on their day, they can beat any other team. India is too young of a team to win, and England is the wild card.

Well Aswin, I will say INDIA bcoz,\n\nIndian team is an international cricket team which represents INDIA governed by BCCI.It started in ENGLAND as a test cricket before many years.In the starting INDIA played well.But in the middle,they struggled a lot by giving the reasons that bowling is not good,pitch is not good,batting is not good....Now-a-days,INDIA is doing well in home as well as outside.Our top batting order is very strong.Current status of Indian cricket is very good. Now the dependency of the team on Sachin has reduced. Every player is equally participating in the victory of the team from top order to a middle order to number 11 player.Now we are winning many matches by building good partnership.Before,we lacked consistency much.If one player falls,all falls immediately.But now we have developed that.We are also able to be consistent.Bowlers are also doing great.Our current status is shown by the cricket ratings.Still we can develop a lot if we does not bring cricket as a politics(which goes on the underneath of the selection procedure.).Coach Greg Chappel has played a vital role in changing the face of Indian cricket team.They work hard to bring their talents out.. Our indian team does its best in every test and moreover they are managed by good team captain and the coach.Captainship under rahul dravid is simply awesome as it can b seen frm de way de team had performed all these days!!greg chappel is shaping a perfect combination in indian cricket team with mix of youth and experience.Although the team needs to improve on some fronts chappel is sure to raise the team to heights that were unknown to many indian fans.The present bunch has everything to make a world cup winner!!!

I find following batsmen who have a tremendous record:\nBesides Tendulkar:\n\n1. Sunil Gavaskar\n2. VVS Laxman\n3. GR Vishvanath\n4. Rahul Dravid\n5. Yuvraj Singh\n\nthese players are very good players of fast bowling. Having good/solid/sound technique. I have a word of praise for Laxman and Yuvraj. But I find them not so good against spin. Against spin and fast bowling, the other players are very good.\n\nThe order of writing does not mean that that is in descending order. They are equally sound good players.

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...
