The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

Cricket Web: All-Time Legend

My overriding memory of watching this was that it was very, very, very funny, and it was a crying shame that Bangladesh hadn't put on ~300+ so we could watch Watson getting like 270.

I think Watson'd make the Aus ATXI, and given the historical success of the Aus ODI team, that's no small feat.
I'd still take Mark Waugh over Watson, at least as opener. Watson could bat 7 for Australia.

Gilchrist
Waugh
Ponting
Bevan
Jones
Symonds
Watson
Starc
Warne
Lee
McGrath

Hussey, Lillee, Bracken, Hogg, Hayden and Martyn in the sheds.

Haha turns out Maldives are equally bad, possiblty worse

Nah, this lot seem to be more disciplined with the ball at least, Mali Women were giving away like 60-70 runs in extras every match. Maldives are managing to keep their opposition to under 300, at least. Could do with some improvement in the batting department though.

What a glorious scorecard this is haha. I wish all the runs had come off extras.

The normal awards that everyone else has
So the 20% of the games he didn;t bowl in are because Australia only used 4 bowlers then?

Pull the other one.
Of the 158 innings he fielded in, he bowled 5 + overs in 109 of them. He averaged over 6 overs per innings. That number as an average is skewed because we regularly bowled teams out and occasionally played someone like Hopes or Harvey as 5th bowler or we selected 3 quicks plus 2 spinners. Or it suited Clarke's/Lehmann's bowling.

FWIW, here's a list of the matches he didn't bowl in:

ODI 1485: Aust bowled SL out in 37 overs (not required)
ODI 1563: Aust did not bowl (wash out)
ODI 1565: McG, Warne, Lee, Lee bowled out NZ in 30 overs (not required to bowl)
ODI 1677: Lee, Fleming, Harvey, Warne bowl out WI in 35 overs (not required to bowl)
ODI 1938: Clarke bowls 7 overs
ODI 1940 and 41: Aust play 2 spinners (and three quicks)
ODI 1970: Aust bowl out Namibia in 14 overs
ODI 1990: Lehmann bowls 6 overs and Harvey in the team
ODI 1991 : Aust bowl SL out in 38 overs
ODI 2016: Hauritz and Hogg play along with 3 quicks
ODI 2019: Harvey is selected as 5th bowler
ODI 2053: Aust bowl NZ out in 33 overs
ODI 2159: Washed out
ODI 2172: Aust bowl USA out in 24 overs
ODI 2209 : Lehmann bowls 7
ODI 2232: Hopes is selected as 5th bowler
ODI 2256: Eng only face 6 overs before wash out
ODI 2284: ICC World XI bowled out in 27 overs
ODI 2366: Cullen and Hogg selected along with 3 quicks
ODI 2367: Ditto
ODI 2473: Clarke and White share 10 overs
ODI 2577: NZ bowled out in 25 overs
ODI 2580: Watson selected as 5th bowler
ODI 2621: Washed out
ODI 2623: Clarke bowls 9 overs
ODI 2625 - end of Symonds career (approx 12 matched where Symonds doesn't bowl): Hopes selected as 5th bowler and Symonds used as a batsman only.

You're the one that's pulling something.

How good is it to see Aus bowling a hapless SL out in 37 and 38 overs in that list?
