@@saianshbaby8380 Hayden might have been better idk it’s hard to say as Smith used to play on South African pitches which is arguably the hardest to bat on and I needed an accomplished captain as I put Dravid at 3 cause I feel there should always be someone in a side who can absorb the pressure and hold one end and who can do that better than Dravid.
As an Aussie I agree with Rob here. Sad to see Lyon in this side. What about Regana Herath? Over 400 wickets in your era, considering 4 or so years he was behind Murali, pretty impressive!
There are few names that do not come out as often as they should. According to Me Rengana Herath is one and the other one people often miss who is often eclipsed for obvious reasons is Anil Kumble.
Opening is a highly overanalysed position in test cricket..i have Kallis and Sanga as openers for the very reason that they most often than not come to bat very early at no 3 when openers get out....they play the new ball often...plus they are tuned for both Asia and overseas conditions

@@sanyamtomar8496 I compared his stats with 90s bowlers because he was picked in the 90s team 😄. His average in England or in Asia was shite. Frankly speaking, if Lee wasnt backed up by Warne and McGrath, his average would be higher than even 30. He shouldn't even be in an Australian all time 11, never mind World 11

People knocking Trescothick don't know what they're talking about... the guy was different gravy with the bat. * Fastest player ever (time taken) to 5000 test runs * Averaged 44 in Tests * 14 Test hundreds (Root only has 20 currently with 50 more innings played) * Scored 1000+ runs 3 calendar years in a row (03-05) for England before his mental health issues * 26000+ runs in domestic cricket - absolutely terrorised bowlers for Somerset And just LOOK at the bowlers he had to do it against when playing for England.... His record speaks for itself. Without the mental health issues he'd probably be England's all time top run scorer and would have kept Cook out of the team. Very under-rated player.

I would pick Warne in place of Steyn as you already have two top notch pacers in Akram and Mcgrath to add to that Kallis can chip in with his guile of medium pace. I will go with 3 quicks and 2 spinners. But my keeper would be Sangakkara who could play long inngs compared to Gilly who was more of a dasher at times could cost his wicket
Nasser's bowling attack is the difference between the 2 sides. Even though I think he's actually missed out the single best bowler of that era in Curtly Ambrose.

Excellent effort... 👍👍👍👍 Its almost faultless and accurate as per my choice too.. Only two changes I would like to add- 2000s team : I think warne was not in his prime form, so I would like to take Shaun Pollock instead. 1990s team: I think warne was much much more penetrating than Kumble. And Murli was evolving. So I would take Warne as an automatic choice as the only spinner in 90s and Kumble has to sacrifice. These type of arguements are always healthy abd refreshing!!
My pick: Nathan Astle Graeme Smith Kallis Tendulkar Fap duplessis Mike Hussey Kumar Sangakkara Shane Warne Steve Harmison Chaminda Vaas Zaheer khan (too dangerous once he gets the reverse swing going)

Good decision by roobie in the end In place of Bumrah by putting lyon's name ..he is just fantastic bowler no doosra simple offspin...it is great lesson for youngsters that by simple off spin you can get heap of wickets..
So Rob refuses to pick Ashwin because he "Mankaded" someone, but picked Steve Smith even after ball tampering? Mankading is legal, ball tampering aint. And Lyon is nowhere near Ashwin, plus Ashwin is proper allrounder. Root or Williamson- either could have replaced Smith. Funny morality.
The difference in quality between the two eras is staggering. Nasser's B team (Dravid, Ambrose, Donald, Steve Waugh, Waqar, etc.) would destroy Rob's A team 😂
@@saurabhgupta_8 Saurabh Gupta Wasim Akram's swing at 150kph is unplayable. Late banana swing and he could do it from over the wicket and around. He was the brilliant at using the crease as well. If it weren't for Pakistan's terrible fielders, he would have ended with 600 odd wickets. McGrath in swinging conditions is unplayable. He will bowl unplayable deliveries one after another forever. He hits the perfect line and length and can swing the ball either ways. Steyn and Anderson are great bowlers but Wasim Akram and Glenn McGrath are the two greatest ever opening bowlers. Kallis is also super accurate. And then there is Warne and Murali, who can turn the ball in the most seaming and swinging conditions. Besides I did say that in swinging conditions, its even. Wasim Akram is the sultan of swing. His reverse swing is insane.

Except when thr bowlers are from the previous era. Look at how he struggled against Shaun Tait, Asif, Akhtar.
If he could have faced lee, mcgrath, etc then surely he would have become more great with his experience

Yeah, batting is not too bad either 😁
You can pick 3 equally good attacks from that era. Any combo of Ambrose, Walsh, Donald, Pollock, Waqar, Gillespie, Saqlain, Kumble would work as well.

nice selection man
Brett Lee in tests was average, mate. Your dad needs to try again
Dravid was not opener, take Sehwag
@@sanyamtomar8496 a bowler with an average of 30 is not considered world class. You can try any one of Akram, Waqar, Donald, even Bond, who all averaged considerably under 30 in Tests. Lee was better in ODIs but was average in Tests.
@@sanyamtomar8496 I compared his stats with 90s bowlers because he was picked in the 90s team 😄. His average in England or in Asia was shite. Frankly speaking, if Lee wasnt backed up by Warne and McGrath, his average would be higher than even 30. He shouldn't even be in an Australian all time 11, never mind World 11

Rob looks younger than when he played for England
Sachin, Lara, Ponting and Kallis's last chance to score atleast a fifty at Lord's.
When is the match ?
People knocking Trescothick don't know what they're talking about... the guy was different gravy with the bat.
* Fastest player ever (time taken) to 5000 test runs
* Averaged 44 in Tests
* 14 Test hundreds (Root only has 20 currently with 50 more innings played)
* Scored 1000+ runs 3 calendar years in a row (03-05) for England before his mental health issues
* 26000+ runs in domestic cricket - absolutely terrorised bowlers for Somerset
And just LOOK at the bowlers he had to do it against when playing for England....
His record speaks for itself. Without the mental health issues he'd probably be England's all time top run scorer and would have kept Cook out of the team. Very under-rated player.

Warne for Murali
@@ArchibaldJacobs-i1k I agree. Also given the rules I would swap out Steyn for Ambrose.
I would pick Warne in place of Steyn as you already have two top notch pacers in Akram and Mcgrath to add to that Kallis can chip in with his guile of medium pace. I will go with 3 quicks and 2 spinners. But my keeper would be Sangakkara who could play long inngs compared to Gilly who was more of a dasher at times could cost his wicket
Nasser's bowling attack is the difference between the 2 sides. Even though I think he's actually missed out the single best bowler of that era in Curtly Ambrose.
pace and bounce, but little variation
@@corpgov Ambrose is just a better version of McGrath. McGrath got flustered when batsmen went after him. Sachin took him apart many times but it's very difficult to find instances of Ambrose being taken apart like that.

Kohli's recent dip has shown what Sachin did was nothing short of amazing. Nobody comes close.
Steve smith if he keeps his average around 60 by the time of his retirement will come close but yeah as an Australian Sachin Tendulkar and Don Bradman are by far the GOAT test batters...
Kohli averages 50+ in every format plus has a great IPL record too. Sachin played only 2 formats. Kohli easily beats Sachin in white ball cricket
@@Roooop_1910 lol.
Sachin has been the highest scorer in multiple WCs. Played against better bowlers in tougher conditions.
Even in white ball cricket Kohli is no match for Sachin.

Yup he is.
Nathan Lyon over Saeed Ajmal and Rangana Herath is a joke Rob...
Dont under estimate nathan Lyon...his records are fantabulous even in bouncy tracks...
@@PradeepKumar-dg8ri He's decent but skill wise not in the same league as the other two I've mentioned... Even his stats are inferior to both Herath and Ajmal..
@@s.a.a8359 Big difference. Nathan Lyon is a match winner
Only skill will not win u a match mr/ms do u know the word consistency....test cricket is all about how consistent the bowlers are...Lyon is that kind of bowler....decent action and when it comes to ajmal...his action is not that proper....rangana herath's record in away matches is not that considerable....dont underrate Lyon he is also a match winner in his own way...

Great team, i have choosen 9 out of 11 players just replace sehwag with dravid and flintoff with brian lara. You have 5 bowlers with kallis as all rounder and sehwag and sachin can bowl. Viv richards is aggressive batsmn and dravid is his calming opponent i doubt any team can beat this dream 11.
@@vatsalsingh1555 Sir I can agree on Dravid for Sehwag.
But Flintoff was more of a Fast bowler...in fact Ponting once said Flintoff was one of the best fast bowler he has ever faced...So i chose Fredie as an extra Pace option because the batting depth is more than enough in this team...and Kallis was not that quick to be considered as a genuine pacer.

Excellent effort... 👍👍👍👍
Its almost faultless and accurate as per my choice too.. Only two changes I would like to add-
2000s team : I think warne was not in his prime form, so I would like to take Shaun Pollock instead.
1990s team: I think warne was much much more penetrating than Kumble. And Murli was evolving. So I would take Warne as an automatic choice as the only spinner in 90s and Kumble has to sacrifice.
These type of arguements are always healthy abd refreshing!!
Do you realise how insane and standard perception based opinion it is of yours not to put the decade's highest wicket taker in 2010s team?
And you put Bumrah in there rather, silly.

I'll take a wild guess here. I'm guessing ur from England
Keys, how could you forget Rangana Herath? He is significantly better than Lyon.
But lyon is better than him in bouncy and flat tracks
Lyon is the best spin bowler since last 10 years in test
No he's not. Lyon's got wickets all over the world whereas 65% of Herath's wickets were on dustbowls in Sri Lanka.

Key could've picked Swann as his spinner.
Good decision by roobie in the end In place of Bumrah by putting lyon's name ..he is just fantastic bowler no doosra simple offspin...it is great lesson for youngsters that by simple off spin you can get heap of wickets..
Ye but i love how he wanted smith as his spinner 😂
So Rob refuses to pick Ashwin because he "Mankaded" someone, but picked Steve Smith even after ball tampering? Mankading is legal, ball tampering aint. And Lyon is nowhere near Ashwin, plus Ashwin is proper allrounder. Root or Williamson- either could have replaced Smith. Funny morality.
Gooch vs KP vs Root
I'll pick KP with my eyes closed, well we have to 😂😂
Gooch due to his 333 runs against India although India was not a good bowling side in 1990s.
Gooch and cook are the 2 best batsmen in our history
The difference in quality between the two eras is staggering. Nasser's B team (Dravid, Ambrose, Donald, Steve Waugh, Waqar, etc.) would destroy Rob's A team 😂

u didnt see dale steyn and james anderson they swing better then the oldies and at more pace than them
@@saurabhgupta_8 Saurabh Gupta Wasim Akram's swing at 150kph is unplayable. Late banana swing and he could do it from over the wicket and around. He was the brilliant at using the crease as well. If it weren't for Pakistan's terrible fielders, he would have ended with 600 odd wickets. McGrath in swinging conditions is unplayable. He will bowl unplayable deliveries one after another forever. He hits the perfect line and length and can swing the ball either ways. Steyn and Anderson are great bowlers but Wasim Akram and Glenn McGrath are the two greatest ever opening bowlers. Kallis is also super accurate. And then there is Warne and Murali, who can turn the ball in the most seaming and swinging conditions. Besides I did say that in swinging conditions, its even. Wasim Akram is the sultan of swing. His reverse swing is insane.
