Here is my all time team for the Test Cricket- 

Jack Hobbs was England’s premier batsman for nearly 30 years following his Test debut in 1908. Arguably the greatest opener

in the history of the game, he and Herbert Sutcliffe represent one of the most famous opening partnerships of any team. He was a prolific scorer of runs for Surrey and England, scoring a record 197 centuries. Half of his centuries came after the age of 40……quite amazing!!!

Sunil Gavaskar was one of the greatest opening batsmen of all time. He had the perfect technique and enormous powers of concentration. His wicket was so difficult for any bowler. He had all the cricket shots of records, specially his straight drives were so beautiful. He was also the first batsman to cross 10,000-runs landmark. I have chosen Gavaskar to open the innings with Hobbs.

;  I have also considered Barry Richards, Len Hutton, Gordon Greenidge but they couldn’t make place in my team.

Donald Bradman was, no doubt, was the greatest ever batsman in Test cricket history. Some of his records look like a Mount Everest for any batsman. Who can surpass his test average of 99.94, who can surpass his record of the triple century, which he made in only one day and his record of 29 hundreds in 52 tests!!! The answers of all these questions are quite difficult. I have also selected him as the captain of the team due to his great cricketing mind and attitude towards the game!
        I didn’t consider any batsman for one down position. Bradman is an automatic choice.

Sachin Tendulkar is considered as the best batsman right now. There are some other players, like Ponting, Lara, Yousuf, Jayawardene and off course, Dravid who are performing well in international cricket these days, but I think, Sachin is greatest of them all. He has all the variety of shots and a great footwork with solid defense. He has made 75 hundreds in international cricket, which is the witness of his greatness. When Sir Don Bradman made his dream team, he considered Sachin in his team.

Vivian Richards was remembered for the explosive manner and style of his batting rather than for its end result. He is perhaps the most dominating batsman in the history of cricket. Once he hit a hundred in just 56 balls in a test match!! As a batsman, he always looked to dominate the bowling and his aggressive approach with willow in hand often appeared arrogant to the onlooker.

; I have chosen Sachin on 4th position, whereas Sir Viv is on 5th spot. There were lots of choices for these positions like Lara, G. Chappell, G. Pollock and 3 W’s of Windies, specially Lara and Pollock.

Garfield Sobers was the greatest ever allrounder in Test Cricket history. He is the second best after Bradman in terms of greatness. His exceptional Test batting average tells little about the manner in which he made the runs, his elegant yet powerful style marked by all the shots, but memorably his off-side play. As a batsman he was great, as a bowler, merely superb, but would have made the West Indies side as a bowler alone. He was remarkably versatile with the ball, bowling two styles of spin - left-arm orthodox and wrist spin, but was also a fine fast-medium opening bowler. His catching close to the wicket may have been equalled but never surpassed, and he was a brilliant fielder anywhere. He is also the vice captain.   
         
       Others considered were Imran, Botham, Kapil, Hadlee, Miller, Procter and Wilfred Rhodes.
 

Adam Gilchrist is way ahead of his counterparts when it comes to the job a good wicketkeeper-batsman. His batting is his superior strength. A very attacking player and can make mockery of any bowling attack more often than not! Is pretty safe behind the stumps and has taken some amazing catches and stumpings too. Knott and Marsh could be better wicketkeeper. But due to the adding feature of attractive batting, Gilly is in my team.

Malcolm Marshall was one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time. He allied sheer pace to consistent excellence for longer than anyone else.  He was lithe, with a wickedly fast arm that elevated him to express status. He is only 5ft 11inches long- but he even turned that to his advantage with a bouncer as malicious as they come, skidding on to the batsman.
            
              This choice was so difficult for me because there were lots of Fast legends in Windies. I wanted to choose a fast bowler from Windies and I found Marshall was greatest of them all.

Shane Warne is in my team for spin department.

Dennis Lillee was considered by many to have been "the complete fast bowler". He was the heart of Australia’s attack for more than a decade. Through a combination of ability, showmanship and sheer hard work he won the loyal following of the nation’s crowds, who often roared his name as he ran in to bowl. And Lillee repaid their faith with interest - he was the type of character whom captains could rely on to bowl "one more over" at the end of a long spell, and often made breakthroughs when success seemed unlikely. Armed with a copybook action, he underlines his status as one of the all-time greats.

Sydney Barnes was the greatest ever bowler in test cricket history by many people. We don’t have any video about his bowling, but I read many reviews on him and found that why he is considered as the bowling legend. His record is also awesome, almost 7 wpm with an average of 16 and strike rate of just 41. He was Bradman in among all the bowlers. On a perfect wicket, he could swing the new ball in and out "very late", could spin from the ground, pitch on the leg stump and miss the off. He was creative, one of the first bowlers really to use the seam of a new ball and combine swing so subtly with spin that few batsmen could distinguish one from the other

Imran Khan was one of the greatest all-rounders in the game’s history. His averages (37 with the bat, 22 with the ball) put him at the top of the quartet of allrounders (Ian Botham, Richard Hadlee and Kapil Dev being the others) who dominated Test cricket in the 1980s. He also made himself into an all rounder worth a place for his batting alone.
             Due to lack of  place in my top 11 players, I considered him as 12th man, because there are Sir Garry too in my team as all-rounder. But I didn’t want to ignore Imran.
