Guardian's Test XI of 2008

Former England spinner Vic Marks prepared the list of his best test team of 2008.

"This is brilliant; we do not really know which is the best team in the world. For a decade, it has been Australia and there has been nothing to argue about. Now there are three contenders as India and South Africa challenge Australia's supremacy," said Marks.

"Pick the best XI from these four sides (apologies to Sri Lanka, Pakistan, West Indies and New Zealand for being so exclusive) and it is possible, without too much mischief, not to select a single Australian. This may be an indication of the way things are going," he added.

Here is the team:
  1. Grame Smith (c)
  2. Virender Sehwag
  3. Kevin Pietersen
  4. Sachin Tendulkar
  5. A B De Villiers
  6. Andrew Flintoff
  7. Mahendra Singh Dhoni
  8. Harbhajan Singh
  9. Zaheer Khan
  10. Ishant Sharma
  11. Dale Steyn
