Worlds Best Test XI

Wouldn't have considered it a few years ago but I reckon Prior's got as good a shout as Sangakarra for the wicketkeeper slot.

Herath and Swann toss a coin, or play Anderson if it's a green top in England
 
Anderson before Herath on some surfaces and ahead of Morkel on others

In Dhoni's post match interview he felt the biggest difference between India and England was James Anderson - more than Cook, more than Pietersen and more than Swann

Second last para
 
Pujara ahead of Clarke is frankly baffling

I had Clarke in originally but tried to accommodate for another bowler. Could have played both but then I would have had Anderson, Kallis, Swann and Steyn without Herath.

I've been majorly impressed with Pujara though, looks sheer quality.
 
Cook
Smith
Amla
KP
Clarke
Kallis
de Villiers
Ajmal
Gul
Steyn
Anderson
 
Cook
Smith
Amla
Pietersen
Clarke
Kallis
Prior
Swann
Ajmal
Steyn
Anderson

If it's a green top, drop Swann for probably Philander.
 
Get Gayle in there for a bit of entertainment. Long batting line up so we can afford a bit of flair at the top of the order.

How about Nathan Lyon ahead of Swann? haha Bring on the Ashes
