BBC

But, for now, that's us done.

Thanks for joining us, even those of you who voted for Mitchell Starc.

We'll have to hope that World XI v Mars XI is played on a green top...

Pick your women's world T20 XI

BBC Sport

And here's this week's homework: pick the world's best women's Twenty20 side.

You know the drill by now. Have a go here.

Tune in at 12:00 BST next Wednesday when we will reveal the team you all picked...

We hope you enjoyed that little romp through a current Test World XI.

We'll be back every week with a different team for you. Next time...

How can people be questioning Starc's place in the team. He has a much better strike rate than Anderson at a marginally worse average. Late left-arm swing at 90+mph. Most batsmen will be saying no thanks.

Ollie, Stratford-upon-Avon

I would absolutely love to see this team take on the World XI of yesteryear. Imagine this selection taking on the greats of the 1990s and 00s: Hayden, Lara, Warne, Dravid, Tendulkar, McGrath! What a game that would be!

Ed in Oxford

Yep, JL gets the nod as the coach of our World XI.

Who would I have given it to?

Mickey Arthur. He makes lemonade out of lemons.

You've been watching the Australia documentary, haven't you?

Coach: Justin Langer (39%)

BBC S

We did ask you to make one last selection.

Apart from Starc (should swap him out for a frontline spinner), that's a fantastic world XI.

Jon, Manchester

Don't sack the selectors. We wouldn't have an audience.

That's the team, though. What do you make of it?

How on earth does Nathan Lyon not get in this team folks? Sack the selectors!

Darren, Epsom

Remember the farewell that Alastair Cook got when he left the Test arena, or the hole that he left?

Anderson's are likely to be bigger. For a fast bowler to have a Test career spanning 17 years (and counting) and still be among the best in the business will never be repeated.

When he made his Test debut, Alec Stewart was keeping wicket for England. The Gaffer has been retired since 2003...

Time for a big statement.

For my money, James Anderson is England's finest Test cricketer of all time.

It's not just the stellar numbers, or the longevity (which sort of go hand-in-hand), but it's the sheer skill.

At the age of 37, there is still no other bowler in the world (perhaps ever), who you'd throw the ball to if you were expecting it to move a millimetre off the straight.

The Burnley Express can swing a tangerine around corners.

11. James Anderson (63%)

BBC Sport

You're welcome, Neil.

Our XI concludes with the oldest swinger in town...
