Test World Test XI vs Australia

[1990crow]

If Australia were to go on and win the world test championship which is looking more probable than ever, would be great to have an Australia vs the rest game like they did in the mid 2000s.

Who would play for the world test XI?
Who would win?

Off the top of my head..

Brathwaite
Imam-ul-Haq
Williamson
Root
Babar
Stokes
Pant (Chandimal)
Ashwin
Rabada
Robinson
Anderson
12th man Bairstow

Id probably swap out Imam-ul-Haq for Conway (NZ), Brathwaite for Latham (NZ) and Robinson for Bumrah.

Conway
Latham
Williamson
Root
Azam
Stokes
Pant
Ashwin
Rabada
Anderson
Bumrah

As for Australia, if a world test team was combined I would have Labuschagne, Smith, Cummins, Khawaja in for Conway, Williamson, Azam and Anderson.

Why is it probable we win exactly? its almost certain we will be playing india and we cant even beat them in our own conditions so they would surely start as favs for test championship?

India's B Team is still scary as is

Shubman Gill (c)
Shikhar Dhawan
Humana Vihari
Mayank Agarwal
Hardik Pandya
Ishan Kishan (+)
Sarfaraz Khan
Washington Sundar
Shardul Thakur
Kuldeep Yadav
Umesh Yadav

Still bats until 9, 2 spinners and 2.5 pace bowlers
