I like Bevan and he did cross my mind... but I'd not like to say which batsman should make way. Certainly not Viv Richards or Dean Jones... but a tough call between Tendulkar, Lara and Zaheer Abbas.

Alas... I can only think you are joking in suggesting Klusener is fit to wipe the boots of this crew: he's certainly not fit to bowl alongside guys like Hadlee, Ambrose, Wasim and Murali (offering far less than, say, Heath Streak) and with the bat he offered little more than Johnty Rhodes (who I'd rather see included).

Imran Khan stomps on Klusener's case as a bowler, as a batsman and as a captain(though Zaheer might not agree on the last front).

If you think Warne should oust Murali as the spinner I suggest you go look up their respective records: I've no objection to Warne being included but it should be in place of Pollock or Hadlee, not Murali.
