I think it should be

2 opening batsman obviously

middle order

1 wicket keeper

1 allrounder

1 spinner

3 seamers

But i guess if you think 2 spinners deserve a spot then put them in, for me it was hard looking at the spinners to see who was the best ? No spinner has done well in Tests for Zimbabwe since they have returned to test cricket.

I hope people would know when they are voting that the XIs picked are exclusively for tests, and that everyone in an XI is assumed to be at the peak of their prowess, and that the idea is to "win" the test irrespective of conditions :)

It seems people are taking this very seriously, and they should: It could be the greatest prize yet here at ZCF in terms of who's got the biggest and best "My XI". Bragging rights are on the line, gentlemen :D
Such a pity I'm not in this competition, my team would have won. :)

There are 26 votes so far on the Series Prediction poll. That makes it an average of 3 votes per team on this poll with 8 teams potentially there. Hardly anything to go by unless we see a lot of interested folks chip in to vote as the test match also begins (increased interest in the forums in general due to that).

May the best XI win!
