Regarding Jarrod’spoint about Australia preparing spinning tracks, the team picked has Sehwag,Tendulkar, Lara and Laxman. These are some of the best batters to have played spin. So, we can safely assume that they would have tackled Warne and McGill.
Kumble's 8-fer came on the flattest pancake in Sydney and often bowled the hard overs. I'd have no problem with Kumble going after the post Steve Waugh Aussie team
New Zealand ended Australia Test Series winning streak at home in 2001 as that series was drawn (0-0) and now New Zealand going to end India Test Series winning streak at home in 2024 but this time winning the series
If you looked purely at the Australia row in his test stats - it would seem laughable to include Shane Bond in the list. But he only played 2 tests in Australia, and they were literally his first 2 games in international cricket. He ripped Australia's top order to shreds in the 50 over format later in the summer once he found his feet. If you asked the Australian players of that era to pick a team that could beat them - I'd put money on most of them picking Bond.
Jarrod picking Chris Cairns over Jacques Kallis is a strange call. Kallis played 9 matches in Australia, and Cairns 8, over this period. Kallis made two centuries, three 50s, and averaged 48.5 in those games; Carins made no centuries and four 50s, while averaging 33.5. Kallis took 12 wickets at 47, and Cairns took 28 at 37. Dig a little deeper, though, and Cairns had one decent series with the ball (1997), and arguably only one good game in that series (at Brisbane, where he took 7 wickets). Moreover, Cairns’ performances dropped off in the 2001 series, which is when he faced the strongest Australian side, whereas Kallis averaged 49 with the bat in 2001/02 and 69 in 2005/06, in both series facing Warne and McGrath in their pomp.
Gayle Shewag Lara Sachin VVS Kallis Sanga (WK) Kumble (C) Wasim Ambrose Darren Gough This would be the perfect team to take on Australia in that period
Behram’s inclusion of Gayle is based on his stats from a series in 2009. 🙄 In the period allegedly under analysis, he played two matches, scored one fifty, and averaged 25.

why not do a 15 man squad rather than a 12? would make it a better conversation of who can win a series
Personally I'd have chosen
Conway
Latham
Young
Rachin
Mitchell
Blundell
Phillips
Santner
Southee
Ajaz
O'Rourke

Idk if draw is considered a loss. The streak continues as they remained “undefeated”
SA Ended streak 2008, This series was draw and Nz didnt won any Game🤷
@@RareClips324 I know but Australia Test Series winning streak was broken by New Zealand in 2001 and thats a fact
@@dhaanushl6465 No It doesnt, It was draw series and Streak was Broken by southafrica 2008✅️

One of the better overall episodes where people didn't freak it up with so much person bias.
I've always been of the opinion that you should have a more conservative opener to go with your attacking one.
So I'd have Alistair Cook in for Gayle.
Gayle
Shewag
Lara
Sachin
VVS
Kallis
Sanga (WK)
Kumble (C)
Wasim
Ambrose
Darren Gough
This would be the perfect team to take on Australia in that period
2 Kumble-s?
good picks but id probably have sanga or sachin as the captains
it's amazing how even when she picks steyn and kumble, it ends up being a less than ideal pick...!

Id take Shane Bond if he was injury free. Absolutely owned Ponting n company in his short peak. Or a bolter the lion hearted Neil Wagner.
Southafrican team, indian team of that era might defeat that Australian team
Only SA**
You guys forgot to pick hadlee
