Who are the best Test cricketers in the world right now?
That's the question we posed to Shane Warne, Michael Atherton and Ramiz Raja join Ian Ward in our latest discussion before they selected a world-best Test XI.
Don't worry if you missed the show, however, as you can download it as a podcast right here!
Listen to the guys and then have a go at picking your own.
The premise is that the XI (or a squad of 12 if you prefer) have to be able to win in all conditions.
So do you pick the captain first, or pick a team and then pick a captain?
And whose is the first name on the team-sheet? The skipper? The openers? Or the all-rounders?
Does big-hitting Australian opener, David Warner, get in? Who bats at three out of Joe Root, Virat Kohli, and Kane Williamson?
Who skippers the side? Is there a spot for England's all-time leading wicket-taker, Jimmy Anderson? Is Pakistan's Yasir Shah, the premier spinner in world cricket right now?
Making up the selection panel to answer these questions are Warne, Atherton and Ramiz, the owners of 317 Test caps between them.
