4. Sachin Tendulkar
5. Viv Richards
6. Jacques Kallis
7. Adam Gilchrist
8. Ian Botham

11. Joel Garner

You've cheated, Tendulkar is down as an opener

Brian Lara
Michael Bevan
Jacques Kallis
Adam Gilchrist
Wasim Akram

An unbeatable team surely

surely Fairbrother, Ian Austin and Warren Hegg should be in that team of One Day greats

I think fairbrother went some way to redefining what an ODI batsman was about

Sanath Jayasuriya
Sachin Tendulkar
Ricky Ponting
Viv Richards
Brian Lara
Andrew Flintoff
Adam Gilchrist
Wasim Akram
Shane Warne
Waqar Younis
Glenn McGrath

My team for the Fourth Test

Strauss (capt)
Cook
Trott
Pietersen
Bell
Morgan
Prior (w/k)
Swann
Anderson
Tremlett
Finn

Now is the time to drop Collingwood. People say he is a great slip fielder and a 5th option as a bowler but come on if he cant score runs which is primary job he doesnt deserve a place in the team at all. Morgan should play in his place moving Bell up to number 5. Allright young Finn is conceeding too many runs an over but he is the leading wicket taker in the series and must play at Melbourne.
