Wisden on Wednesday named Sachin Tendulkar in its all-time World Test XI, which is captained by the legendary Australian batsman Don Bradman and includes other greats of the game like WG Grace. Marking 150 years of the Cricketers' Almanack, Wisden announced the eleven that has as many as four former English cricketers. The list includes openers Jack Hobbs and Grace, along with wicketkeeper batsman Alan Knott and pace bowler Sydney Barnes.
Three players from West Indies - Garry Sobers, Vivian Richards and Malcolm Marshall - are also part of the eleven. Australia's master legspinner Shane Warne and Pakistan's legendary left-arm paceman Wasim Akram have also been named endulkar, who has decided to call it a day after his 200th Test during the West Indies series at home next month, is the only Indian to find his name in the list.
