Still I think laxman has done better against SAF than Dravid. Link to comment

Vijy Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) cannot fathom how everyone has Sehwag over Barry Richards. BR should be in the team ahead of Sunny G and Viru, even if we play in SC. Edited January 5, 2018 by Vijy JaFanatic 1 Link to comment

I see why OP wants a fair division but Saffers have been a better team than India for most of cricketing history - they began playing earlier, etc. Would rather pick: Barry Richards, Bruce Mitchell, Jacques Kallis, Graeme Pollock, AB de Villiers (wk), AD Nourse, Aubrey Faulkner, Mike Procter, Hugh Tayfield, Allan Donald, Dale Steyn. Batting till 8 comfortably, and Tayfield can bat pretty well at 9. 6 bowlers and 1 part-timer (Mitchell). I think this team could challenge, and maybe win against, some of the combined XIs listed earlier. Edited January 6, 2018 by Vijy Gollum and JaFanatic 1 1 Link to comment

I think only Gavaskar and SRT would be able to make to the XI. Link to comment

I know he gets a huge amount of hype but that is based on a few tests and then county stints- I know the quality of county bowling was good and all but surely the test records of Gavaskar, Viru and Smith should trump that JaFanatic 1 Link to comment
