Current Best XI to play across all three formats

[lebron_fan]

Pick your best 11 who are pretty good in all three formats : ODI, TEST and T20 My pick Brendan Mccullum Chris Gayle AB de Villers + Virat Kohli* Steve Smith Kane Willianson Ben Stokes Mitchell Johnson Trent Boult Dale Steyn Yasir Shah I think this team should do good across all three formats :--D

[HippoSucks]

David Warner du Plessis Kane Williamson Virat Kohli © Steve Smith Joe Root AB de Villers (WK) Matthews Ashwin Mitchell Starc Trent Boult Yasir Shah is not very good in LOIs. There are no fast bowlers apart from Starc and Boult who are decent in all 3 formats, so only 3 specialist bowlers. Alternatively Johnson or Steyn (even though they are only good in tests and ODIs) can come in. For tests and ODIs only: David Warner Joe Root (he may not be good as an opener though) Kane Williamson Virat Kohli © Steve Smith AB de Villers (WK) Matthews Johnson Ashwin Steyn Trent Boult

Amla Mcullum Root Kohli Steve Smith ABD Ashwin Steyn Boult Starc Mitch/Yasir (depending on conditions).

Let's be realistic' date=' ABDV doesn't keep so you can't include him here as keeper. Neither does Baz keep. [b']Best keeper bat across all 3 formats may be Dinesh Ramdin 5 batters, 1 WK batter, 2 all rounders, 3 bowlers Baz Warner Root ABDV Smith Ramdin Ben Stokes - Batting All rounder Ashwin - Bowling All rounder Mitch Johnson / Mitch Starc Trent Boult Yasir Shah * * = If fast bowling pitch, Yasir Shah replaced by Steyn or Broad or Anderson Very Strong team that covers all bases. On the outside looking in: Kohli, Williamson and Faf Du Plessis and Amla

I would beg to differ with that - assuming that we were constructing a XI for a one-off match, ABDV can keep - he did it for many Tests and ODIs in SA.
