    Me again. You have put in Ajmal (currently ranked 4th) but left out Herath (ranked 2=). Likewise, you have put in Morkel & Anderson (both ranked 7=) but left out Philander (ranked 2=).

    Who writes this stuff? Sangakkara is not the No. 1 batsman in the world. He is currently ranked No. 5. Not to mention Amla's apparent "breakthrough year". Really? He scored considerably more runs in 2010 at a noticeably higher average. Plus his current ranking is 3 whereas he was No. 2 in 2010. But apparently this is his "breakthrough year". Yahoo, you are a couple of years behind the news.

    Shows how much Aust. relies on Clarke. No one else from Aust. in the team. What about Hussey he would have to be better than Amla even batting at No3.

    PEEL – Regarding keepers, I believe that the keeper should be selected on keeping ability. A keeper’s batting ability is a bonus. I’m not sure why Wade has taken Haddin’s place. I agree about the mistakes that Wade has made. It was probably because of age. Haddin is 10 years older than Wade.
