Yup 😉
Of the team I listed, I would play:
Hayden
Tendulkar
Ponting
Lara
Kallis
Gilchrist
Akram
Warne
Younis
McGrath
Murali
Younis and Akram can open the bowling, with McGrath first change and Kallis chipping in with a few. Then the 2 best bowlers the world has ever seen can start ripping it up, with McGrath, mister consistency drying up runs and building pressure.
If the batting team still has some wickets in hand after that, Younis and Akram can come on and reverse swing mop up the tail.
The top 5 batsmen are all top class and all of them are good for at least 40-50 runs each and all of them can easily go on to make 100+ against any bowling.
Gilchrist, Akram and Warne can then add a bunch of quick runs in a tail wag and before you know it, this team will have racked up 400+ in a day and a total of 600+, in pretty quick time, for the innings.
