my all time test XI as i'm feeling it right now:
1 barry richards (didn't play much test cricket but no doubt in my mind one of the best openers ever)
2 jack hobbs (scored all around the world consistently at brisk pace)
3 don bradman (the best batsman ever)
4 greg chappell/sachin tendulkar (to close to pick atm)
5 viv richards (consistency and demolition ability)
6 garry sobers (one of the greatest sportsmen ever born)
7 adam gilchrist (the greatest wicky batsman of all time, not just for his batting but his keeping also)
8 warne/murali (obviously the 2 best spinners ever, selection depends on conditions and opponents weaknesses)
9 malcolm marshall (complete fast bowler)
10 waqar younis (blistering pace and swing)
11 donald/procter (can't decided between them atm - i like donald for his pace, bounce and aggressive style but proctor had batting up his sleeve and his bowling off the wrong foot)
