AB De Villiers
With an average of 36.52 and a strike rate of 84.6 as a batsman, 15 catches as a wicketkeper (in spite of Boucher being there in the same National team) and with brilliant athleticism as a fielder AB De Villiers comes with a lot of options in my team. He can bat anywhere from positions 1 to 6, but in my team he will probably open the innings (which is his favorite batting position in ODIs of late) with Haynes. A devastating strokemaker, he will be a perfect partner of Haynes at the top of the order. If not (i.e., if I want someone else to open later), he can fit in at no. 3 or no. 5 too. His wicket-keeping skills are more than decent too (In fact many South African fans want him to keep once Boucher retires). So, later if I don't find a suitable keeper, he will be the wicket-keeper in my team, and that will provide me with the option of picking an extra batsman in the team.
Team so far:
AB De Villiers
Desmond Haynes
Javed Miandad
Chris Cairns
Curtly Ambrose
Courtney Walsh
Muttiah Muralitharan
The batting line-up is slowly but surely becoming a great and varied one with batsmen from different backgrounds, different skill sets and different approaches to the game joining in, to complement a devastating bowling line-up...

Every good ODI team needs a spinner who can keep it tight in the middle overs but it's a true bonus if they are also a wicket taking threat. Qadir bowled at a stingy 4.06 economy rate whilst also taking 132 wickets at an average of 26.16. His lower order biffing (ave 15.26, sr 75.50) is also handy.

Long enough - and after saying that ^, I throw my research out and take Brad Hodge. In any other country, or in any other era, would have played a stack more games, and starred.
Team so far:
Gilchrist

Hodge
-
S. Waugh
-
Kapil Dev
Hogg
-
Bond
Tait
Goughy up

He's a better pick than Hodge anyway. I looked at Brad's record and was surprised at how mediocre he has been in ODIs, he only averages 30.
