The ICC expects Kumar Sangakkara to preserve wicket (as he did in England in 2006, here with Kevin Pietersen) but the Sri Lanka captain does not do so any a lot more. Photograph: Shaun Botterill/Getty Photographs

The Worldwide Cricket Council's Examination staff of the 12 months: Cook, Amla, Trott, Tendulkar, Sangakkara (capt, wk), AB de Villiers, Kallis, Wide, Swann, Steyn and Anderson. 12th guy: Zaheer Khan.
Nicely, this will go down well in Melbourne and Sydney. Not a single Australian in the ICC's finest Check crew, decided on by Clive Lloyd, Paul Adams, Zaheer Abbas, Danny Morrison and Mike Gatting. And there are five Poms.
Furthermore three of the 4 nominees for Test cricketer of the 12 months are English (Jonathan Trott, Alastair Cook and Jimmy Anderson).
It may possibly be a little too early in the cycle to come to feel as well considerably sympathy for the Australians about this, but spare a believed for … nicely, there must have been one particular relatively close … Shane Watson.
This ICC team never in fact take the area. If they did there would have been a couple of lifted eyebrows from these chosen. Kumar Sangakkara could be honoured to lead the facet, but even much more stunned to be asked to keep wicket. He does not do that for Sri Lanka any far more. And Jacques Kallis is getting asked to bat at No7. Practically twelve,000 runs from 145 Checks and they want him in the team – at 7 – simply because he may possibly be in a position to provide a couple of helpful overs as a fifth bowler as well as some runs.
Stuart Wide is there, which suggests that the team must have been picked very just lately (and that they need to have disregarded Sachin Tendulkar's tiny slump versus England). Wide was extremely close to staying dropped by England just before the collection against India. A month is a lengthy time.
The ICC selectors might be grateful that they do not actually have to enjoy this staff at the crease. All the batsmen picked have churned out fantastic wads of runs more than the previous twelve months. They are very methodical, which is one particular purpose why they are so profitable. But they may possibly not be the most enchanting mixture obtainable. Cook. Then Trott. Sangakkara … and, eventually, Kallis. All admirable but give us a nudge when Swann arrives in.
Oh and Zaheer Khan will make a wonderful 12th man – offered he does not have to field.
Nonetheless, no 1 can quibble with Nos nine,ten and eleven. So for the sake of an argument allow me supply you a hastily selected alternative first eight to be part of Swann, Steyn and Anderson, which will contain a appropriate wicketkeeper and an unlikely Yorkshireman from Pontefract, who may possibly also be a tad shocked to be there.
Strauss (captain – because he has carried out that rather well in that position over the final 12 months even if he has not been so prolific as a batsman)
Watson (token Aussie)
Dravid (nicely, he's outshone all the other Indians in opposition to the best Check crew in the earth)
Then to guarantee some thing effortless on the eye this trio: Jayawardene, Pietersen, Bell
Prior (a proper wicketkeeper – now)
Bresnan (of course)
Swann, Steyn, Anderson.
You may consider a diverse perspective …
