The Australians currently rule world cricket. It seems unlikely that any other side can take on their might. In his interview with Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf last week, NDTV anchor Dr Prannoy Roy jocularly explored the possibility of an Indo-Pak team to take on the Aussies. The general wanted Sachin Tendulkar to open the innings for the Indo-Pak team.
Would an Indo-Pak side vanquish the men from Down Under? Who would constitute such a team? Faisal Shariff chooses his Indo-Pak team. Why don't you choose your team in the form alongside?

Often criticised for being susceptible to the short-pitched jam, he was the only Indian batsman to score centuries in New Zealand before the World Cup.

Need anything more be said about the greatest batsman of his time? Sachin will want to avenge the World Cup final defeat.

Can hold the innings together if wickets fall in a heap and accelerate at will.

Arguably the greatest one-day bowler; we need him to come out of retirement to whallop Ponting & Co.

On his day he can run through any batting line-up; enjoys bowling to the Aussies. Remember Kolkata? Chennai?
