Re: Your Test World XI?

Swap Pieterson and Kallis in your second team and those two teams would just about break even, don't know why they don't host something like this.
 
Re: Your Test World XI?

No chance of being able to squeeze them in with the huge amounts of cricket each year.

I am not sure if they name a test team, one day team or 20-20 team of the year but I wouldn't mind the ICC recognising the best of the best.
 
Re: Your Test World XI?

yes but.
they managed to fit in the IPL into the schedule
i'm sure they could do the same.
many people would be for the idea.

The IPL was to create more of a 20-20 exposure and for the BCCI to exert their dominance over the ICC and money. (another topic)

I would like the schedual left at this or reduced a little. Give the international guys a chance to play more first class cricket.

I will post my team up tomorrow night I reckon.
 
Re: Your Test World XI?

Yes and we have to remember these players have families, imagine the toll it would take on them going country to country every month.

Re: Your Test World XI?

Mckenzie is an absolute dud.
i'm surprised he's even in the RSA team.
Dhoni i reckon has had a better few years than Boucher.
Other than that.its a solidteam.
