[chammakchallo]

sachin hayden

[jalebi_bhai]

Sachin and Hayden.......

[BeautifulGame]

Sachin and Jayasurya Sachin obvious.But close btw Jayasurya and Gilly.Just that there are WK like Dhoni or even Sanga who can effectively replace Gilly (even if not as good in Sanga's case) but cant think of any spinner anywhere near JS ability and bat in the alltime XI

[Jersey #10]

SRT and Sehwack please!

[vayuu1]

Is this even a question sach and gilly

Mark Waugh is not as good a spinner but not that far behind... he is a much better fielder and arguably better- if not as explosive- opening batsman

[rixxuu]

sachin and anwar for me.

As a Spinner Jayasurya was a far better spinner .Could have played as a specialist spinner most ODI teams of his era imo.Whereas MK was more of a part timer at best much like in sachin mould in ODIs. Waugh was more consistent ? Yes .But JS was more destructive . Jayasuriya was a pretty decent fielder himself and had one hell of a rocket arm IIRC.

[Sidhoni]

Looks like Sachin-Gilly are gonna be the pair

[cricketman]

I would rather have one of the greatest finishers of all time (MSD) play over Gilchrist so I am going to go with Sachin Tendulkar and Matthew Hayden.

[Sidhoni]

^You can select two keepers too.

[JaFanatic]

sachin-gilly in a healthy lead :nice:

[zakk]

Sachin and Dada

[Detonator]

Sachin and Gilly - can't beats this. Sachin and Jayasuriya comes closer.

[tweaker]

Sachin & Gilchrist

[Sidhoni]

So Sachin and Gilly it will be..still 2 days for poll to close
