Indian keeper Syed Kirmani was useful, but not as good a pick as Knotty.

Kallis is definite (don't recall him at three much though). I think Younis should be in. Probably Kohli. Then one from Kalli, Kambli, Kanhai, Majid. My vote is for Kallicharran, a key player for one of the two or three greatest sides ever to play. Probably the best side. Kanhai gives a proper number three though.

Kanhai averaged 52.8 at three, 47.5 overall.

Kambli averaged about the same overall (54.2), batted at three (64.3 in 11 Tests) but only played 17 Tests in total. Kallicharran batted mostly at four and averaged 44.4.

Kambli played one Test outside Asia. For me, the other two are legends whereas he is a what-if.

Think Kasper has to be the final bowler? Imran and Zaheer will take the new ball.

Statswise, Khawaja stands up, but doesn't have the status of the two West Indians.

Looks like Kaspa for the bowling spot as Ian says.
