I thought this would be interesting. There are a Test players currently residing in (or very close to) first-choice XIs that CricSim members just don't rate at all, instead going for a whole host of recently retired players and domestic giants. Australia Nathan Hauritz India Munaf Patel South Africa None England None Sri Lanka Prassana Jayawardene Thilan Thushara Malinda Warnapura Pakistan Saeed Ajmal Mohammad Aamer Also worth noting that recently retired great Inzamam-ul-Haq was not picked New Zealand Tim McIntosh Martin Guptill Daniel Flynn (lol @ the entire top order being left out) Chris Martin Jeetan Patel West Indies Lendl Simmons Devon Smith Brendan Nash Fidel Edwards Sulieman Benn Kemar Roach Also worth noting that current county cricketer Corey Collymore was not picked, nor was banned batsman Marlon Samuels Bangladesh The whole team except for Shakib
I thought about Edwards, but decided he was too erratic. Martin was ruled out on the grounds that I was after batting depth. Also considered Saeed Ajmal, but went for Kaneria instead.
I very nearly chose Munaf Patel instead of Nantie Hayward but I dislike him and I always enjoyed hayward's bowling
