I've spent some time putting thought to it. The criteria being that it has to be players you have seen play.
Also consider the balance of the team. My luxury here is that I can bat Sangakkara at three. Not only that, three of my four main bowlers were handy with the bat. This is some team:
Would consider Graeme Smith as a possible opener over Greenidge, mainly due to a right/left hand combination. But I like the contrast in styles.
Gordon Greenidge
Sunil Gavaskar
Kumar Sangakkara
Jacques Kallis
Steve Smith
Allan Border
Imran Khan
Richard Hadlee
Wasim Akram
Malcolm Marshall
Muttiah Muralitharan
