Test Cricket's World XI

Alastair Cook

Captain Cook has taken on the England leadership with aplomb, adding to his reputation as an immovable object at the top of the order. He will be a key figure in next year's Ashes series.

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.

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=).

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.
