Test team of the year.

[Dan The Man]

can't argue against it,

Alastair Cook, Hashim Amla, Jonathan Trott, Sachin Tendulkar, Kumar Sangakkara (capt/wk), AB de Villiers, Jacques Kallis, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, Dale Steyn, James Anderson, Zaheer Khan (12th man)

you can with that IMO, not a very good captain nor is he a test wicket keeper. Matt Prior should have been in that squad as the keeper

 

[Hulkster]

No Bell?

aye, agreed also if its captain then it has to be Strauss imo.

No Bell?

I would of went for an England XI personally.

What was the year? Because Broad hardly played in Australia and was garbage against Sri Lanka

very good against India with bat and ball.

Not saying he wasn't, just thought there may be players who'd had a consistently better year. Can't think of any though

India and the Aussies have had a bad year and South Africa haven't played that much so your pretty much right

 

[Twisted]

is it just me or is tendulkar in there because hes tendulkar?

 

[scotch]

exactly, Bell was far more deserving, plus Pieterson for 12th man, and Prior in place of sanga

Yep. I thought that was a strange one too

Broad's selection is a joke. It's only four tests since everyone thought he should be binned.

is bell's record not better than trott's over that period.he averages 80plus over the last 20 odd tests

 

[Twisted]

the awards ran from 31st July 2010 until 1st August 2011

so thats at least 8 months of the qualifying period where zaheer khan only bowled 12 overs was it?

at less there wasa series i have forgotten but i dont think they played between the world cup in january/feb and the windies one just before the england series in which he didnt play.

i think hes great like, just seems harsh on others.

i think i agree, england XI would have been best
