Warner in SC Test is a joke. I would rather have Root opening.

Yeah swapped him for Gayle actually. Gayle is a proven quantity and plays spin better than I can remember Warner in the tour of India. That said Warner will score runs quickly against the new ball like Gayle would. Also Clarke i feel is a tad overrated in the SC. He has scored two centuries I think in India. I mean he is a great player of spin but not as much as people say he is.

Gayle has a good record in SL. Very poor in other SC wickets including Bangladesh. Warner's SR was around 40 something in India during the last tour. So, that's that. After the SA series, he's easily the best outside SC. An overseas player to pair up with Cook in SC? Hmmm Also, I would take Siddle over Harris on Asian wickets. Bowled his heart out in the game where he got the fifer.

Outside SC Openers Warner Rogers - Easily the best opening pair at the moment Middle Order Amla - Best No. 3 Sangakkara - Amazing Clarke - Captain Clarke does it all De Villiers - Pretty Straightforward a Top 3 batsman Lower Order Haddin - Best Keeper at the moment. de Kock is too young and AB is a better batsman without the gloves Bowlers Johnson - Does bat and pure speed Harris - Skilled bowler, one of the best Steyn - The best bowler in the World Herath - Best normal spinner in the world In SC Cook - Application and can bat long hours Gayle - Runs are runs against the new ball and much better against spin early than Warner from what I can recall. Younis Khan - Love Amla but I just feel that Younis is just a better known quantity in his conditions rather than Amla in a way. It's hard to explain but eh. Kohli - scores runs well in India Sangakkara - Does it all de Villiers - Does it all Mathews - Added bowling option Haddin - Best pure keeper I can think of and can bat against spin plus Chandimal sucks at the moment, Dhoni's keeping sucks Harris - Dude is skilled enough Steyn - Skilled enough Herath - Best Spinner Ajmal - Ajmal is Ajmal.

pretty good except for the inclusion of kohli. kohli hasnt really done anything to be even in the discussion for a world xi anywhere in the world.

I got Mathews for that. I feel that Harris is just way too skilled as a bowler that he can bowl anywhere like Steyn. They are both a class above. Harris like Mark Taylor once said, is similar to Malcolm Marshall in regards to skill sets and take note that Taylor did face Marshall quite a bit. I could swap Kohli for Misbah, I feel Misbah is a quality batsman enough to be in a World XI team and he just averages less than 50 which is pretty good. Pakistanis have two quality batsmen with some young ones coming about but India is just iffy because Kohli and Pujara are amazingly talented but just been lackluster recently. Huh Clarke has scored 4 tons in the SC but still eh. So SC Gayle Cook Sangakkara Younis Khan de Villiers Haddin Mathews Harris Steyn Herath Ajmal.
