This pair were actually miles out in front of the other openers, with Rohit's India team-mate Mayank Agarwal next on with 26% of the vote. Agarwal might have got my vote, though.

Still, a Warner-Rohit opening pair would be box office in any format of the game.

I'll give you this to ponder, though. If Alastair Cook was still playing Test cricket, would he get the nod?

This is an interesting one, because Rohit Sharma has actually only ever opened the batting in five Tests, but in those matches he averages a whopping 92.66.

Moving to the top of the order might finally be the thing that cracks the Test nut for Rohit, who has only played 32 matches since making his debut in 2013.

Pound-for-pound, he might be the most naturally talented batsman in the world.

I suppose, though, Warner's selection will have to come with a couple of caveats.

1. No matches are played in England, where he only averages 26 and has never made a ton.

2. Stuart Broad does not get citizenship of Jupiter.

As for Warner's partner...

Gabriel Mills: Reckon some guaranteed players in the #bbccricket world Test XI are Steve Smith, Ben Stokes, Pat Cummins and Jimmy Anderson.

He might be less popular in England than geometry homework, but David Warner is a natural pick to open the batting in our World XI.

In fact, since he made his debut at the end of 2011, no one has made more more runs opening the batting in Test cricket than the Aussie left-hander.

We'll start with the openers (obviously). For my money, this might be where the world game is weakest at the moment.

Around 15 years ago, we had the likes of Hayden, Langer, Smith, Strauss, Trescothick, Sehwag and Jayasuriya all playing at the same time.

Our pairing is still high-class, though, And they'll bring some fireworks.

As an FYI, the numbers in brackets are the percentage of you that voted for them.

I can imagine a tour of Venus would be tough for a World XI.

Long, hot days in the field. I suspect there are plenty of dry pitches on Venus. Spinners coming to the fore. Little oxygen, so tough to play a long innings or for pace bowlers in lengthy spells.

Anyway, let's get on with naming this team...

And, naturally, we want you to pass judgement (on the team, not me. I'm just the messenger).

Naming your team is a good start, but I also want to know who a World XI would play?

The Mars XI? Other confectionery based teams are available...

Yep, some 80,000 of you submitted your teams, and now it's time for the big reveal.

There will be some obvious names, but also a hint of controversy.

Stick with me over the next couple of hours to find out who made the cut.

It's classic pub chat, or the way to get through a tedious rain delay.

Who would be in the world Test XI?

We asked. You voted.
