Yeah, that's my sole reason for voting that way tbh.

Actually I will switch my vote to this. I also like the Lara/Tendulkar opening combo.

Lara didn't open heaps in ODIs but his record there in the 50 odd games he did it is actually great. Probably would have done it more if WI had better middle order options throughout his career.

Whatever it takes!!!
He also had an excellent world cup as an opener.

Lara as opener averaged 46 in the nineties, very impressive.

Arjun Tendulkar has already been selected. Why not select Sachin to open with his son ?

I thought people were selecting Sachin Baby to open with Sachin Tendulkar.

Based on current voting trends I’ll have Gilchrist at number 2 and number 6.

Dhoni can do it in one.

Bairstow and Symonds
Before people throw their pitchforks at me.. Bairstow averages 48 and has a sr of 108. No one is that consistent and also that destructive even in this current generation. Gilchrist matches that in terms of sr if adjusted for era I'm sure but that average difference is significant enough that Bairstow edges him there. Gilly probably has it covered in big match performances and being a better keeper but Bairstow gonna Bairstow
Rohit is super unlucky to miss out because the side needs a keeper and Dhoni's last 3-4 odi years were too bad to deserve selection in an ATG side

In that case let's have multiple rounds until one player has majority. Then move to next one

Big fan of both Greenidge and Haynes back in the day but just wondering how Gordon could make an ATG team with a strike rate of 64?
Totally understand it was different back then, but 64 is mediocre by any standard and just can't see it justified here.
Going for Gilchrist because a high percentage of time he'll take the game away from a side within half an hours play.

Greenidge was decent overall, but his main claim to ODI fame is averaging about 7 in three World Cup Finals.
