11.Anil Kumble

I'll go for team B.

would be a tight game though wouldnt it.

True, but the balance in team B's batting is better, perhaps the bowling also provides more options.

Side A, because Side B has no keeper.

both have very destructive players but i think B just shades it being a more complete, all rounder type team.

I don't know, team B are seriously lacking in batting for me: only Gayle or Hayden would make the 'A side, the other members of the top 6 were all average or decent ODI players at best. Team B's bowling balance is better, although Afridi and Kumble are fairly similar type spinners and we're seeing at the moment that a good spin attack can sometimes be enough.

I'd fancy team A unless Gayle or Hayden really got going.

Depends how much Gayle stands to earn from it.

Trying to prove that test cricket is boring and dying out after being told the shorter forms of the game are rubbish.
You've got a fired up gayle.

Even if they did, I would back Garner to pull it back.

They have 'Big Bird'
