Why are Lara, Kallis and Tendulkar - the best test batsmen, in the same column?
My ideal 6 
G Smith, Sehwag, Ponting, Kallis (difficult choice in this group), Chanderpaul, Waugh

I am going to pick my ideal 6 based on below statistical data for test players (Most Runs, Avg., 100s, 50s, good amount of weightage given to #‘0’ (ability to stick around on any kind of pitch) and finally gut instinct 
)
Hayden
Cook
Dravid - (“The Wall” over Ponting)
Tendulkar - (2nd close choice was Kallis - This was a tough choice - too many good players in this group)
Chanderpaul
Waugh

Hayden, Sehwag, Dravid, Kohli (Lara misses closely), Chanderpaul, S Waugh
Most impactful opening pair, Dravid has no competition really (Ponting is good but not good enough for Dravid), Kohli just pips Lara due to consistency and fielding, Chandu & Waugh too have no real competition.

I would prefer Kohli, Lara over them. Kallis may be is better suited for No 3.
