The leading wicket-taker for Australia named the playing XI on Instagram live and opted to go for players with whom he had played the most with. Interestingly, his team was led by legendary Australian captain and batsman Sir Allan Border.

Warne’s greatest Australian Test XI: Matthew Hayden, Michael Slater, Ricky Ponting, Mark Waugh, Allan Border (c), Steve Waugh, Adam Gilchrist, Tim May, Jason Gillespie, Glenn Mcgrath, and Bruce Reid.

The 50-year-old Warne named Merv Hughes as the 12th member of the side. Warne picked Matthew Hayden and Michael Slater as the openers of the side. He also went on to reveal why he did not name David Warner as a member of his side. “I am only picking players that I played with that is why David Warner is not going to be a part of the side, he is one of the greatest Australian openers,” Warne said while naming the side on Instagram Live.
