Was torn between Ganguly and Haynes. Haynes got me a lot of wins in trump card games with the highest number of runs at that point of time and so he gets it.

You have sold him to me. Changing my vote from Cronje to Jonty.

Me too. I actually picked Jonty in one of the earlier teams but completely forgot about him after that.

Not even close - some even considered Marshall as an allrounder during his early days

It's cause he always tonked the Indian bowlers for runs in the end overs.

Was a much better batsman in tests than ODIs

It's funny because I don't rate Vaas at all. Probably because memory is biased towards what we've seen. I'd much rather take Johnson over Vaas but alas, I got busy and didn't vote.

Afridi was selected as an all-rounder, and Cairns as a bowler - that's why I kept Afridi ahead. Also, don't judge Afridi's batting by the last few years of his career. Both were equally inconsistent with the bat. I think for some reason people remember Cairns' 4 ODI centuries more than Afridi's 6 centuries and better strike rate. Sometimes Afridi is underrated by true cricket lovers only because how overrated he's with average Pakistanis.
But I'd like to know if some other CWers also want Afridi at 8 - happy to change if that's the majority opinion.
