I think Shakib with a batting average of 50.11 and bowling average of 28.61 can replace any of Hafeez, Bravo or Broad from the test XI!! In the ODIs Shakib averages 33.17 with the bat and 28.08 with the ball can replace either Shahid Afridi or Mitchell Johnson!
 
^^^^^^^^ I think its a bit of a joke to have Mitchell Johnson in. I never take the "best and ODI" seriously. One always has to look at condition of the pitch and of course venue. I would certainly expect Umar Gul, Shakib, Amla pushing the above squads.
 
Saeed Ajmal is in both formats- Nice- :tup:-

Sachin has faded away recently maybe other pressures (trying to reach his 100th 100) should be in one of the lists
Amla - his beard is too long.
Kallis doesnt cut to the chase when real pressure is on.

(joking about Amla - he has to be in. Clown selectors miss the plot)

Saeed Ajmal - one of the cricketers of the year - really is a late developer. Shame - wish he had been playing 5 years ago
 
team without sehwag...what a joke !!!

don't worry in test matches he is already having a good massage by sitting in the dressing room almost all the time during indian batting... i think he listened you and justified the author by having an avg of may be ~10 in 4 innings so far in aus in the current series
