The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

[honestbharani]

Is Symonds' bowling good enough to bowl 1 full over in an ATG 6s team?

Nope, but the ATG allrounder Bevan will bowl all 5 and win the game anyways.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I don't watch the Hong Kong 6's, but looking at the format I would say that Symonds would be too much of a liability in the field.

 

[Gob]

Dunno this is necessarily ATG stuff but I don't know where else to put this (that's what she said)

Under 30 xi

Latham
Brathwaite
Labuschange
Root
Azam
Stokes
De kock
Cummins
Rashid Khan
Rabada
Bumrah

Vs Over 30

Warner
Pujara
Williamson
Kohli
Smith
Shakib
Watling
Broad
Starc
Lyon
Anderson

Must say very evenly matched

 

[Red]

If I was picking an Aust ODI XI to actually take the field and play specific roles:

Gilchrist
Watson
Ponting
Jones
Symonds
Hussey
Maxwell
Starc
Warne
Bracken
McGrath

 

[TheJediBrah]

Another day, another RedHill Bevan-less ATG team

 

[Red]

Replace Hussey with Bevan if you prefer.

I’d take Hussey to do that role though.

no Hayden??

Maxwell?

Maxwell?

Bevan has to be in an Australian odi team!!

 

[mr_mister]

Hate on Maxwell all you like he can clearly play the slogging rule like few others. He's a more consistent Afridi. He'l never waste balls at least which is a vital part of an ODI team

 

[stephen]

Australia have so many opening choices that are difficult to separate. Mark Waugh - great slipper, great bat, random overs option. Matthew Hayden - great gully, probably the best bat. Shane Watson - best bowler, pretty good bat. Boony - biggest legend, gun bat.

 

[Red]

I’m the biggest MWaugh fan there is but I’m taking Watto for his bowling contribution

 

[Red]

Correct, no Hayden.

And yeh, Maxwell.

And, yeh. No Bevan.

 

[honestbharani]

I simultaneously love and hate Red for his under rating of Bevan and over rating of Symonds.

Making stupid selections don't not make your AT teams unique ffs

Good sides, but Wagner for Starc or Broad.

 

[Flem274*]

Good sides, but Wagner for Starc or Broad.

i think you mean he who cannot bowl with a kookaburra. the other two are well worth their place.

 

[jimmy101]

Dav Whatmore's XI (featuring players he either coached or played with/against.

Sanath Jayasuriya
Azhar Ali
Kumar Sangakkara (wk)
Aravinda de Silva
Mahela Jayawardene
Allan Border (captain)
Shakib Al Hasan
Chaminda Vaas
Rodney Hogg
Muttiah Muralitharan
Umar Gul

Some slightly left field selections here, but good to see Rodney Hogg in the team, bloke seemed like an absolute menace to face.
