ICC announced the ODI and Test team of the year in Johannesburg. Take a look

ICC Test Team of the Year Matthew Hayden, Michael Vaughan, Ricky Ponting (capt), Mohammad Yousuf, Kevin Pietersen, Michael Hussey, Kumar Sangakkara (wk), Stuart Clark, Makhaya Ntini, Mohammad Asif, Muttiah Muralitharan. 12th man: Zaheer Khan.

ICC ODI Team of the Year Matthew Hayden, Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting (capt), Kevin Pietersen, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Jacques Kallis, Mark Boucher (wk), Chaminda Vaas, Shane Bond, Muttiah Muralitharan, Glenn McGrath. 12th man: Michael Hussey

Something missing?πŸ˜‰

Dravid? Does he deserve a place?

Does anybody else deserve a place in either of the teams?

Dhoni has been pretty unpredictable and inconsistent in past 12 months. So I do not rue his exclusion from the ODI team. But Dravid?.....That hurts!!

Actually our boys are not upto scratch in comparison with the other players, I think. Who would you drop from the given teams to make way for Dhoni, Dravid etc?

You seriously think that Kevin Pietersen is a better "TEST" player than Dravid is?

Mascernhas in which team? I don't believe his couple of good performances prove the consistency that is required to be in the World-11.

Kevin Pietersen/Michael Hussey for Dravid?πŸ˜›. I am not advocating Dhoni. But Dravid certainly deserves a place in Test sanctum sanctorum.

i think the team is prepared with best in the place...... in middle order one can include the all rounders over rahul dravid......

also sangakara and gilchrist beat dhoni by miles as wicketkeeper batsman.... but i would hv liked yuvraj in the side..... for one day πŸ˜ƒ

frankly there are too many loopholes......

how can boucher precede gilchrist or sangakaara..... where the heck is shaun pollock..... and whats kallis and chanderpaul both similar players doing inside πŸ˜• ..... only one long hitter being pieterson.... i would have taken yuvi for chanderpaul, sangakara for gilchrist, and pollock for shane bond 😊

How can you even think of bumping Pietersen for Dravid? He is currently no.4 in the rankings while Dravid is only 11. And Mike Hussey is ranked no.5 btw. While I agree that Dravid is one of the best the fact is that this year others have been better than him.

Ya its true...he not prove much.....but his performences are classy .......😊
