CricketWeb selects the ATG ODI XI

Gilchrist *
Sachin
Viv (c)
Kohli
ABD
Flintoff
Kluesner
Pollock
Akram
Garner
Murali/Warne

Better than any other ATG XI combos anyone can think of.

Could bat till 9. Still undecided on whether Warne batting could mke up for Murali's slightly better bowling.
Just change Flintoff to Symonds. Greatly improves the batting and fielding.

Quick Statsguruing suggests the number 7 will face around 6 overs on average. According to the team we have so far, he'll need to bowl his full quota most of the time too.

He's not in contention for this spot obviously but one guy who fits this role perfectly in the real world is Razzaq. Wonder how many XIs get picked before he appears. Shame Klusener exists (not really).

Gilchrist opening + Flintoff at 6 is a terrible idea. Simultaneously making the top order shakier and shortening the middle order. 10 extra runs from the tail is supposed to make up for a) a reliable opening partnership, b) McGrath and c) a proper #6/chase specialist.

Lol at Mcgrath. I won't be picking Mcgrath regardless. Garner, Pollock, Akram or Hadlee are picks before him no matter the the opening + no 6

You're free to be catastrophically wrong about the first picked bowler in this exercise but your team composition is a fundamentally terrible idea.

Anyway, it is a good side that has been picked but strange that McGrath is the only Australian in it. If we picked a 2nd XI there would be at least 5 or 6 of them.

"no u"

I'm convinced yet again
i don't even want to convince u. Almost all of your cricket related opinions are terribly wrong.

Mcgrath doesn't deserve to be here. Garner and Pollock are a pick before him and why u need him when have both of them in your team.

Would have gone for Kapil or Klusener if there was an extra bowling option that was good but in the absence of them Pollock is an easy pick

also lol at whoever suggested Cronje and Viv were better captains than Dhoni
