excellent.exactly what i feel.sachin may be sounder technically compared to viru but mentally viru miles ahead if sachin.count the number of times he has failed on tracks helpful to bowlers.may be once or twice he might have scored but mostly he fails.but viru is feared by bowlers world over.he has scored runs every where and agiant quickest bowlersand at a fast rate.above all as opener and he was not an opener to begin with.so definitely worth his place in world xi and we stop this nonsense of talking too much about tendulkar who is very uncomfortable against spin except against warne ia one season. let us give credit where it is due and enjoy the feeling of an indain in world xi selected by english.
