1. A Cook (England)
2. H Amla (South Africa)
3. J Trott (South Africa)
4. K Pietersen (South Africa)
5. J Kallis (South Africa)
6. AB de Villiers (South Africa)
7. M Prior (South Africa)
8. S Broad (England)
9. G Swann (England)
10. D Steyn (South Africa)
11. J Anderson (England)

Philander? Or is the jury still out on him?

I see what you did there Duncan, very clever!

I forgot about Philander Kash, he does look awesome! Who would he replace though?

Smith v Strauss = Smith
Petersen v Cook = Cook
Amla v Trott = Trott
Kallis v Pietersen = Kallis
De Villiers v Bell = De Villiers
Rudolph v Bopara = Rudolph
Boucher v Prior = Boucher
Philander v Bresnan = Philander
Steyn v Broad = Steyn
Tahir v Swann = Swann
Morkel v Anderson = Anderson

7-4.

Boucher v Prior = Boucher

--------

Have I actually just written this? Prior obviously better. 6-5 it is.

Boucher v Prior = Boucher

See above.

Philander v Bresnan = Philander

Really? Admittedly the boy looks great but he hasn't been properly tested where as Bresnan has proved that he can do it against the best & he's a good batsman too.

Amla v Trott = Trott This is a little debatable.

@ DSB, you walked right into it mate.

Amla v Trott = Trott This is a little debatable.

No Duncan, you walked right into mate... The reason i put the the countries next to the name is because i was waiting for someone to "WUM". Admittedly, i though it would be Neon

Bresnan wins EVERY single time he plays test match cricket and Philander gets the nod over him?

My score - 0:11

I agree.

Bresnan > Philander for me but the lad looks a great prospect

Are there any combined teams that can top that one?

Amla isnt an opening bat for a start....

1) Smith
2) Cook
3) Amla
4) Trott
5) Kallis
6) De Villiers
7) Prior
8) Broad
9) Swann
10) Steyn
11) Anderson

Honourable mentions would be KP and Morkel. Kallis is only in the side due to his bowling, although the more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards KP...

Amla isnt an opening bat for a start....

He is in my team

@ Serial

You've got to include Kalis, he's great at batting, bowling & fielding!!

Deleting comments doesn't make sense, does it?

His batting is in decline. He'll get no runs in England when we play one another.

Outside the top 2 teams, who else would actually get into a world 11?

I can't think of anyone that warrants it to be honest...

I will start the world XI

Tim Bresnan, and now you fellas can put in the rest

Sorry for going bit off-topic,

Would you happy to see this match finish in 3-days rather than in 5-days and ended up in draw?

1) David Warner
2) Will Jeffries
3) Ricky Ponting
4) Robin Uthappa
5) James Franklin
6) Umar Akmal
7) Nathan Hauritz
8) Nathan Lyon
9) Will Beer
10) Michael Kasprowitz
11) Kieron Pollard (For his bowling)

I challenge anyone to find a better world 11 than that

If you combine India's batting with England's bowling you have one he'll of a team.

Sehwag
Cook
Trott
Tendulkar
Kohli
Dhoni (W)
Prior
Broad
Swann
Zaheer
Anderson

When did this become the world XI serial?

I agree that, that is a top side Sandro but I think the Eng - SA team still wins it.
