ODI all-time XI's for each nation

[weldone]

Wasn't Haynes considered a better ODI batsman than Greenidge. IMO its always been Greenidge>Haynes in Tests and Haynes>Greenidge in ODIs.

Yeah, definitely.

 

[vcs]

Haynes held the ODI centuries record with 17 when no one else was even close.. then the '90s had that explosion in ODI cricket and Sachin, Anwar, Ganguly and Sanath starting piling them up.

He held the ODI runs record for a long time as well...He was a perfect ODI opener for the 60-overs-a-side matches those days...

Adam Gilchrist
Mark Waugh
Ricky Ponting
Dean Jones
Michael Bevan
Michael Hussey
Andrew Symonds
Brett Lee

This team's bowling is unbelievably good.

Yeah, Both Greenidge's and Haynes' strike rates have to be kept in the context of Viv Richards coming in after them too. It eliminated any need for them to take risks, they had to provide a solid start and that's what they did more often than not.

 

[Spark]

In terms of teams that actually existed as in they actually played a match together... tough to go past our 2007 WC team/squad.

AT Aus Squa of 15

Matthew Hayden
Adam Gilchrist
Ricky Ponting
Mark Waugh
Darren Lehmann
Michael Hussey
Michael Bevan
Shane Warne
Brett Lee
Dennis Lillee
Glenn McGrath

Not a fan of dropping one of the best openers in the world for another great player when the later has experience batting at various positions(no.4 in tests for the majority of his career) in international cricket. Both should play.

Rest of the squad:

Nathan Bracken
Dean Jones
Andrew Symonds
Ian Healy (back up keeper)

 

[Fuller Pilch]

NZ ODI XI:

Glenn Turner
Nathan Astle
Andrew Jones
Martin Crowe (capt)
Bevan Congdon - odi av 56, list a 41
Chris Cairns
Chris Harris
Brendon McCullum (at 8!!!)
Sir Richard H
Daniel Vettori
Shane Bond

Unlucky players:

Fleming, Styris, Twose, Taylor (give him 2 years), Smith, Chatfield, Larsen, Pringle, Allot, Mills

 

[NUFAN]

This team's bowling is unbelievably good.

It's good but not as good as my teams bowling unless you somehow think Bevan is a better bowler than Simon O'Donnell.

Never suggested such. I just mean that Australia really had a plethora of outstanding ODI bowlers in their past.

Lehmann ahead of Jones and Symonds is an interesting/controversial call. Jones was pretty much considered the best Australian ODI batsman prior to Ricky Ponting/Michael Bevan emerging. As discussed elsewhere in this thread, Symonds was an amazing ODI batsman as well.

 

[Ikki]

What was wrong with O'Donnell? My top 5 batsman are very good and should be able to bat through the majority of overs so I wanted numbers 6 and 7 to be the most aggressive batting combination possible and also good enough to get through 10 overs with ease and I feel more confident with SOD's ability with the ball compared with Symonds.

That's fair enough. Just surprised with all the talent we have on offer that his name would come up.

Not enough G Chappell love in this thread for me. WAG (from a batting perspective).

Gilchrist
Watson
Ponting
Jones
Chappell
Bevan
Hussey
Warne
Lee/Bracken (since Lee won't get the new ball)
Lillee
McGrath

12th man M Waugh (handy fielder off the bench too)

For the record I think Junior is a better batsman than Watto but need his overs (not that Mark couldn't bowl of course).

I might have picked Symonds if I didn't think he was a massive douche but don't know who of the selected to leave out anyway.

Lee didn't get the new ball for quite a few years in his career when McGrath and Gillespie both took it.

Well if that is the case (I don't remember) Lee over Bracken.

SL XI

Sanath Jayasuriya (LH, SLA)
Tillekaratne Dilshan (RH, OB)
Kumar Sangakkara (LH, wk)
Aravinda de Silva (RH, OB)
Arjuna Ranatunga (c, LH, RMF)
Russell Arnold (LH, OB)
Angelo Mathews (RH, RFM)
Rumesh Ratnayake (RH, RFM)
Chaminda Vaas (LH, LFM)
Lasith Malinga (RH, RF)
Muralidaran (RH, OB)

This team has unprecedented bowling depth, with all top six batmen are decent bowlers. Unlike the current crop, there are some hitting power and improvisation down the order with Ranatunga to Ratnayake.


SL second XI

Upul Tharanga (LH)
Romesh Kaluwitharana (RH, wk)
Asanka Gurusinghe (LH, RM)
Mahela Jayawardane (c, RH)
Roy Dias (RH)
Roshan Mahanama (RH)
Upul Chandana (RH, LBG)
Ravi Ratnayake (LH, RFM)
Kumar Dharmasena (RH, OB)
Nuwan Kulasekara (RH, RFM)
