ICC name best test team of all time. Right or wrong?

The ICC has unveiled the best test team of all time as voted for by fans on the governing body’s website. The ICC offered a shortlist to choose from.
Here it is:
Virender Sehwag
Sunil Gavaskar
Donald Bradman
Sachin Tendulkar
Brian Lara
Kapil Dev
Adam Gilchrist (wk)
Shane Warne
Wasim Akram
Curtly Ambrose
Glenn McGrath
Is it a bit 1980s focused? No Englishmen either but maybe that is not a big shock. Sehwag probably the biggest surprise.
These sort of polls are done almost weekly and discussed in bars around the world. The debate certainly won’t end with this list but ahead of the 2,000th test later this week between England and India, it’s a nice reminder of what a wonderful sport cricket is.

its absolutely non sense
u cant leave dravid and laxman out of any test team
sachin should not be there in the list
ricky ponting should also be there
and inzamam ul haq is also better than sachin
this team is absolutely rubbish manipulated by bcci
As per my knowledge some legends are missing named as:
1) Gary sobbers
2) Richard Headly
3) Mutthiah Murlidharan
4) Kumar Sangakara(Best test wicket keeper batsman instead of Adam Gilchrist)
Sir Don Bradman should be the captain.
