Shane Bond played buggerall tests but he has to make the team, was my favourite bowler in high school

Williamson, Crowe and Taylor pick themselves, but Glenn Turner is easily ahead of the other batsmen.

One of the weaker bowling lineups, but no real arguments with who you've gone with.

Good call. Bond could've been anything if he'd have been able to stay on the park.

Best Windies collection in my time -

Haynes
Greenidge
Richardson
Richards
Lara
Lloyd
Dujon
Marshall
Garner
Holding
Ambrose

Game over, no team would beat this mob.


Steve Waugh’s team and Ponting’s team that both won 16 tests in a row would argue differently.
Would have love too have seen Warnie bowl to Viv and Clive.

Yep, those Aussie teams would've given them a hiding, Hayden and Ponting would've dined out on the short stuff.
Considering the Windies couldn't handle Border on a spinning deck Warne would've made them look stupid

Maybe John Wright to open and McCullum in the middle order instead of Nicholls. Pretty good record for an opener in the 80's.

The only team that matters- Zimbabwe

A Campbell
G Flower
A Flower
B Taylor
M Goodwin
N Johnson
H Streak
T Taibu
P Strang
R Price
H Olonga

A Flower & Streak are very underrated as Test Cricketers. They have decent records considering everyone else around them was ordinary.
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

Them days have passed when it was mandatory to play two spinners in Sydney, it was always good to see a couple of changes though.

Now we just produce roads, the 3rd session of day 5 at Sydney have produced some of the most entertaining cricket ever.
