What do you think of the name of the team, the team and the sad fact that a 3-Test and 5 ODI match series has only 6 transfers?! I think after all that hard work, I need a drink. And a second opinion on team selection from the new, improved, Random Team Picker (RTP).
If you ask for my team I would mostly prefer this:
1> Murali
2> Mendis
3> Kumble
4> Harbhajan
5> Vaas
6> Kartick
7> Gambhir
8> Laxman
9> Samaraweera
10> Vandort
11> Shewag
Batting looks a little bit slim but still I choose for this side only.

Hi,
For my first team I went with:
1. Gambhir
2. Tendulkar (TP)
3. Jayawardene
4. Sangakkara
5. Laxman
6. Samaraweera
7. Vaas
8. Z Khan
9. Harbhajan
10. T Thushara
11. Mendis
Solid, safe, and quite balanced I think...My second team is more spin focused:
But where is Murali in that team? He has to be in there, just for the potential he has to blitz zn innings. Before the first Test I asked myself if I could afford NOT to have him....the answer was "no".
