World Test XI

Letter July 19, 2011
How can one include Kapil Dev and leave out Imran Khan given that the latter did better.

LAHORE: This is with reference to your report of July 19 titled “Wasim Akram makes it to fans’ dream team of all time”. Given that fans have voted for the team, it should be clear that Indian fans far outnumber those of other countries. How else does one explain that Virendar Sehwag made it to this dream team and Vivian Richards didn’t? Also, how can one include Kapil Dev and leave out Imran Khan given that the latter did better than the former in both bowling and batting? Even in the case of West Indian Curtly Ambrose, surely there were other better bowlers than him, particularly Michael Holding and Joel Garner.
