CricketWeb selects the ATG ODI XI

[Burgey]

The XI that's been picked would sweep through every WC with ease.

lol you've got a five and seven who choke for a living at WCs; a bloke whose career sample size at opener is relatively small and who struck in the 70s batting in that position; the other opener failed for a living in finals and your number four averages 22 in finals across eight games since 2009.

Decent bowling line up though.

To even think that Lillee was a better ODI bowler than Garner and Starc is a better bowler than Akram should be a crime.

What you are saying is that Jayawardene was a better ODI cricketer than Bevan because he has a century in WC SF as well as Final .

You . That is why you said picking only 1 Australian in ODI ATXI is a crime .
Gilchrist is the only Aus cricketer after McGrath who has a chance in ODI ATXI . I rate Bevan extremely highly , but we need to admit the version of ODI cricket that is being played now is much different from what Bevan played in 90s.

So what if it is different? We have to assume that the atg players would have adapted to the change in rules equally well. Else, Jason Roy will be getting into this team ahead of Sachin.

Who cares if it's a different version of the format? That's part of picking an ATG team. You don't just pick guys from modern eras with bigger bats and shorter ropes.

Why is there no Aravinda? He singlehandedly won the 1996 final.

Long tail. 3 number 10/11s. Akram is a tail ender in ODIs. Pollock is a bit crap by number 7 standards, even in regular teams, let alone ATG ones.

Garner, Pollock and Mcgrath are awesome. But they are very similar. So much RA FM channel bowling.

Not saying the team is wrong. Every ODI tem is going to have holes., just saying what the holes in this one are.

Exactly my points.

Also, Australians know how to win WCs better than everyone. They'd pants this selected XI.

Jason Roy is as good now as Bevan was in 90s. Never knew that .
Even in 90s Klusener was a better hitter than Bevan . I would prefer Klusener over Bevan in my ODI team if I have to pick one at 6 .

There is no GST on daydreaming.

But they're also just better. I can't split Donald, Ambrose, Waqar, Bond, Hadlee and Starc but the pacers in the first XI just stand out more for one reason or another. Does variety matter that much?

I get the logic behind Watson + Klusener though but it just feels a little underwhelming.

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

For me, Ponting > Gilchrist > Jayasuriya > Lara for the opening spot.

Lara batted too slowly, relatively.

Lara way more quick than Ponting

5 wins out of 12 starts when no one else has won more than 2 seems pretty undaydreamy to me

This is what you are saying. Not me. Bevan was a finisher in a different way, one adopted later on by Hussey, Dhoni, Morgan etc successfully. Klusenar was a finisher in a different way. I will have both in my team.

Ian Bishop also did this injustice to Australia.

Bishop picks 4 Indians and only 1 Australian in his all-time ODI XI

Bishop picked two Indians to open the batting in his all-time ODI XI. One of them was obviously none other than Sachin Tendulkar but he made a bold choice in picking Rohit Sharma as Tendulkar’s partner, ignoring the likes of Sourav Ganguly and Adam Gilchrist.

And Australia won those WC against above selected ODI ATXI ? What sort of logic is this ?

In last 50 years , IND has W/L ratio of 1 against AUS in Tests . So can I also claim that ATXI of Indian test side of last 50 years will be as good as Australia one of last 50 years ?

My second XI would have 5 Aussies. Gilchrist, Ponting, Symonds, Bevan and Starc. You could swap out Lara and Dhoni for Gilchrist and Bevan and it would be a fairly similar team but the others are distinctly worse than the GOAT contenders in the first XI.
