There are a lot of good cricketers going around so who would you pick in your World XI for Test and ODI?
I would personally go for test;
Hayden
Smith
Ponting
Pietersen
M Yusuf
Jayawerdene
Sangakarra
Vaas
Ntini
Bond
Murali
ODI
Hayden
Sangakarra
Ponting
Pietersen
Yuvraj
Symmonds
Oram
B Lee
S Clark
Bond
Murali

Oram?
Vass for tests?
Re: It's time for Your World XI
Yes vaas for tests he may be getting old, but he still is a handful with his experience
Oram makes a great No.7, good bowler, good batter, and a great fielder
Re: It's time for Your World XI
Stupid list without Kallis!!!
Personally I prefer Boucher above Sankakara. Holding the world record for a keeper and good with a bat. A fighter when the chips are down.
Ntini has been poor now for more than a year - choose another bowler.
Re: It's time for Your World XI
list looks alright
my perspective:
instead of sangakarra opening in ODIs, replace him with smith and a wk replaces oram
would prefer dravid and kallis instead of Jayawerdene or Sangakarra in tests but need a wk so kallis replaces jay and sang keeps his spot
i wouldnt have peiterson in my team in either format, replace him with tendulkar
also agree with old man, ntini is pretty ordinary nowadays
edit: need 5 bowlers for test team, need to think about dropping batsmen for another bowler

Oh yes i forgot about Kallis
We can't have boucher keeping to Murali, opposition will win on byes
Okay Ntini for Asif or S-Clark
