Which is the greatest country ATG ODI XI?

Patience and Accuracy+Gut

State Vice-Captain
Roberts over Marshall in the WI xi and Lloyd or Sarwan or Chanders over Sobers. Still Australia is number one. Obviously not to the same extent as in tests but it's obviously Australia.
Not sure if Australia actually start as a favorites against Indies with Sobers. But, you can’t have Sobers in the team anyway.

By that logic I'd pick Conway instead of McCullum in a hypothetical NZ team and make him wicketkeeper, but I won't because he has never kept in an ODI.
Conway is poor man's Shaun Marsh. Don't know why he should be considered at all

But if you insist, I think keeping won't be an issue across formats in ODIs and t20s. Tests are different obvs

Why? Shastri was a quality ODI player in the 80s. He was player of the tournament when India won the World Championship of Cricket in 1985.
While opening. And that was just one tournament, his batting was accumulative for the most part and bowling part timer level. At 7, Jadeja is a better batsman, much much better bowler and definitely better fielder.

he is the best of a bad bunch of all rounders we have

i would rather play Dev at 7 and Ashwin or Kuldeep at 8 in place of Jadeja tbf. probably Kuldeep
You can't pick all time XIs just looking at just balance too much though. He hasn't even been regularly selected in the odi team through his career, how can we justify picking him for an all time xi.
