Not sure about the openers . Hayden is very overrated 

he probably has picked form players he has played with.

Cook  and harden  nana 

 

Gilly for hayden ; cook for sehwag

 

For some weird reason he doesn't have a good wk in his team lol

When has Gilly opened in test cricket.

Definitely, Sehwag is much better cricketer compares to Cook or Hayden

Hayden any day over Sehwag. Sehwag was not successful in all condiitons. Cook is also another someone who have scored runs everywhere. Same with Hayden. Both plays spin well too.

Didn't Sanga didn't  leave wk for batting 

 

Depends upon format LOIs = Gilly

Tests  = Sachin since its  tough for Gilly  to open after keeping.. 

Sachin has never opened in tests.

ODI team without Kohli and Dhoni is incomplete.

Test team without Gavaskar Richards Lara,Tendulkar Warne, Mcgrath Imran/Kapil, Sanga/Gilly is incomplete.

Stars have, but picking an Odi-11 is difficult job as rules have changed so many times. Odi cricket and skills have evolved to diff level now.

Sehwag not successful in all condition

1st thing his game wont be successful in all condition

 

Sa- scored a century on debut. 

Aus- scored a ton in melbourne in 2003, a tough pitch. Saved a test match in adeilade in 2008. Scored runs in World 11 vs Aus again where everyone struggled

Eng- scored 80+ in his 1st test in eng and then ton in his second test. This was his 1st tour he was sent to open

NZ- Failed in NZ. But then he was a huge success in ODI. The pitches he scored 2 tons in 2002 Odi was special . No one could have done that

Sri lanka- Galle test what he did to murali mendis when other had no idea how to play them

Pakistan - scored heavy there

India- again scored heavy 

Wi- Avg 51

 

He scored runs in every condition , consistency wont go with his game style but the impact he had on Indian team was huge. Lets not forget he wasnt an opener but pushed to and he scored really high on impact index. 

 

Rahul dravid avg 29 in SA, 33 in SL would you doubt his credential in all conditions.

it is my personal opinion. I never found Sehwag reliable though he was a match winner on his day. I always lean towards players who I found more dependable who would value their wickets.

Thats a different thing, i agree to that he wasnt reliable. But him not doing well in all condition is wrong , yes it can be said he didnt do well consistently. The guy had his own work ethics and though process which gave him success but also bought his downfall. Around his end just felt he lost that hunger, Didnt work hard on his fitness which had to affect on his reflexes one day. 

 

Also he had a poor record while batting 2nd, but then when he clicked 2nd innings wasnt of gr8 importance left and after having so many issues yet the guy almost avg 50 which is no mean achievement. Like many he wasnt about patta wkts and avg attacks on his day he could do what no one could. 

 

[express bowling]

In test matches, Sehwag was very consistent in Asia.  Averages 57  here.

 

Add to that his value as an impact player and match winner.

 

Which is why I have chosen  Sehwag in my test side to play in Asia.

True , another one of my theories is Dependable batsman vs Match winners is 

 

•  Dependable batsman even if they work somewhat doesnt assure u victory, these guys can win u games or if not have they can have a  huge huge impact.  Guys like Gilchrist, sehwag, viv, Sobers had great avgs i really dont understand the perception of them being not dependable or consistent i mean even like of dravid, gavaskar had similar avg. Yes it can be said those guys put price on their wicket that was there advantage but these guys controlled the game which is their advantage now it depends what advantage we wanna choose.

Combining impact batsmen with those who put a price on their wickets , would perhaps give us the best team.  Having batsmen of only the 2nd kind, would result in more draws.

Warne- "This morning @skysports asked Athers, Ramiz & myself to pick two world 11's ! 90's/00's & a Current one. This was the consensus after our selection meeting. Thoughts ? Agree / Disagree ? The two unlucky players to miss out in my opinion are Amla & Williamson. This is also a squad, the final 11 would be picked depending on conditions."

In another thread , this same team was posted.

 

The commentary below seems to suggest that it a a combined '90s and '00s team.  Don't know how Anwar is picked in place of Sehwag then ?

Mods can merge it. 

Anwar had a great record against mcgrath, warne n all. I always though the guy was really under rated. IF its post 2000 even hayden gilly missing also surprises me

[Sooda]

All formats team-

 

Hayden, Sehwag, Kallis, Tendulkar, Richards, Sobers, Gilchrist, Kapil Dev, Hadlee, Marshall, Muralitharan
