Just going to put this here:

Wisden’s Test Team of 2024: 1. Yashasvi Jaiswal, 2. Ben Duckett, 3. Kane Williamson, 4. Joe Root, 5. Harry Brook, 6. Kamindu Mendis, 7. Jamie Smith (wk), 8. Ravindra Jadeja, 9. Gus Atkinson, 10. Matt Henry, 11. Jasprit Bumrah (c).

5 poms. No Aussies.

I hope we beat them so bad in the Ashes that they withdraw from Test cricket forever and focus on sports they are good at, such as....

...um.....

Oh yeah that's right, they're shit at everything.
 
Would only pick Duckett, Root and Stokes in a combined XI. Maybe Brook. That's it.

And let's be honest I'm picking Duckett before openers are the sh*ttest part of our team.
They are 6th on WTC rankings and collected only 43% of ranking points available to them. It's an absolute disgrace that they make up nearly 50% of the team, as voted by Wisden. Aren't they supposed to be the world leading authority on cricket statistics?

Wisden is just click bait garbage these days. It used to have some serious respect as a cricketers almanac in years past but has succumbed to the mediocrity of trashy journalism now. Think West Australian newspaper type of gutter press for an accurate comparison.

Let them drink their bathwater. I smell 5-0 next summer (subject to weather).

No players represented from either WTC Final team.

On individual stats (not weighting based on opponents) it's not far wrong though. Cummins or Hazlewood probably a shout to be in ahead of Atkinson.

But the Aussie XI would beat that team on any pitch. The South Africans would probably beat them on a seamers pitch too.

They are mostly voted by English.

Its a crock of shit
 
I love a Melbourne Stars semi final meltdown.

The mighty thunder are almost there
Melbourne Stars are basically the Carlton of the BBL. Everything handed to them and entitled as **** but never win anything.

Hope the Hurricanes win on Monday so they're the last team without a BBL title.

Apparently McCallum has taken over the coaching role of the English white ball gains.
Bringing over their successful baz ball from test cricket.
India trounced them in his first game as "coach".

Question - How bad does a coach have to be before he is not classified as a coach anymore ?

I'll let you know at the end of this season.

Looks like a bit of a second string/new India team as well.

Only four of the eleven named in the first ODI are in their Champions Trophy squad so yea this is no where near their best team.
