[@sarthaksharma5772]

How about the top 5 most memorable test matches so that Behram can go full Pakistan nostalgia mode haha.

Usman is outspoken🤣🤣 well about what, for bringing politics into sports

[@osmsiddiqi_photo]

​@@nayan_dixityes. Nowhere do we see politics being brought into sport. Absolutely never with the bcci.

[@osmsiddiqi_photo]

​@@nayan_dixitI'm calling you a dumb human being just in case you have any doubts.

[@AryanVerma-hj9wv]

Estelle definitely won this easily but Beram chose Steve Smith is kinda weird considering the recent records.. but good show ❤❤

[@sunnydays366]

There are total 12 test playing nations out of which 3 are irregulars/minnows. So 9 teams means 18 openers, out of which you guys had to pick 15, so i guess it was easier to pick the guys who don't make this list tbh. Edit - Making a list of best test openers throughout a given decade say 00's or 10's would be a better idea.

[@keshavawasty4816]

Estelle wins this

[@JoshF848]

i knew openers had been struggling but didn't realise just how dire things were for those final few picks. Wasn't far away from John Campbell getting a mention.

[@yashsingh1631]

Can we get all time odi squad too. And I don't think we have proper test one too.

[@rihitjamb3757]

Top 5 best cricket grounds please. Based on pitch, crowd, atmosphere and history. It’ll be a fun one

[@ritikd225]

this series is so fun i wanna consume it in excel.

[@hemank0731]

Estelle's the clear winner!

[@neerax_]

Estelle Won This Draft 💯

[@SohamBhattacharya3105]

Surpirsed that KL Rahul didn't get picked. I know his avg is very low but he does have more overseas test centuries in victories than 11 out of the 15 openers that were picked. That has to count for something...

[@yashsingh1631]

He doesn't open anymore

[@SohamBhattacharya3105]

@@yashsingh1631 I guess..

[@mannish1311]

Crawley should be above or at par with Duckett

[@chessroo]

thx.... very entertaining ... have you guys done best cricket grounds?

[@sayantanbhadra1291]

Surprised Jarrod didn’t pick his man Shanto

[@sagarhirani4559]

100% Estelle wins. Behram would've been close had he not gone with Smith. That's not even a projection pick. More like a hopeful one lol.

[@manisshthakur621]

Estelle wins!

[@palashsasidharan5710]

Wouldn’t KLR qualify? I know he isn’t opening now and his average is not great but KLR has scored 2 hundreds in Eng, 1 in Aus and 1 in SA as opener

[@kauphyaddict9355]

Rohit 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@matthewkimber4513]

Uzzie! Uzzie! Uzzie!

[@Raghuram_2894]

Jarrod wins this one for me

[@ajaypartha95]

Being a Jaiswal fanboy, I give this to Jarrod :D

[@neerax_]

Shubman Gill Was also Good choice .

[@Rambocris]

Picking Steve smith is interesting

[@santugk]

How did no one pick any women cricketers?

[@m.rauhanrasheed1468]

Behram

[@areicgnon]

You guys missed KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal
