CW Decides The XI of the Decade

[CricAddict]

Those stats are quite surprising considering that Warner is bagged as a home bully by many. Didn't realize he has been decent outside of home as well.

"Decent" averaging 33 with 5 hundreds.

Cook and Warner

Honestly, Cook was pretty bad+retired for the majority of the decade, but the fact remains that nobody was better. And he had a big peak.
Warner is a lock imo.

 

[Burgey]

I just don’t want to pick Warner because none of you ****s have any idea how ****ing furious I am that the **** made more today than he did all Ashes. **** him.

Carbs to open with Cook. Actually, Herath can open ahead of Warner. **** he is.

 

[jimmy101]

Not sure exactly what his point is, but I'm with Burgey on this one.

 

[srbhkshk]

I really think Pujara should be opening here, he deserves a place in the team - but he ain't going to get it in the middle order as Smith - Kohli - Kane is locked.

 

[jimmy101]

Fair few blokes who are worthy of a spot are gonna miss out. Ross the Boss being one of them

Taylor has done a fair bit of minnow-bullying in Tests. In ODIs, he's been legitimately awesome.

Yeah, and ABD is next in line.

Yes, but openers are going to be the weak link here so a guy who bats #3 might be the best bet if you have to play someone out of position.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I'd rather have one (or two) of the no 3s opening. Any from KDub, Pujara, Sanga, Younis K, or Amla would be fine

 

[Coronis]

Well its been decided Cook, almost unanimous and Warner despite some stiff competition from Azhar take the spots.

Cook
Warner

Keeping in the opening spirit, we’ll vote on the two opening bowlers next.

James Anderson | Trent Boult | Stuart Broad | Josh Hazelwood | Morne Morkel | Vernon Philander | Kemar Roach | Ishant Sharma | Tim Southee | Mitchell Starc

(i’m sure to have missed someone, feel free to vote for another player if you think they’re worthy.)

 

[Days of Grace]

Are Rabada and Cummins considered as first change bowlers?

This guy Steyn was pretty good

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Steyn and Philander (sorry Jimmy)

 

[honestbharani]

Steyn and Anderson

 

[Coronis]

I planned to put them there as a third option but I’ve also heard it said neither of them (especially Cummins) has played enough yet. If you’d like to vote for one or both of them you’re welcome to.

 

[harsh.ag]

Steyn and Anderson easy

 

[Spark]

Steyn, Anderson, daylight 3rd.
