Who else can be a Good No 4 ?
You don't need a specific number 4. Kallis was a number 3 anyway. I'd say Watson to open as you need the extra bowling anyway.

Hussey at 4, Yuvraj at 5, Flintoff and Symonds at 6 and 7. I think Flintoff is a must in that team.

Watson was Man of the Match in 2 Champions trophy finals in 2006 and 2009 a really good choice

Watson is a genuine ODI ATG anyway, should be a no-brainer. Flintoff pretty close too
The amount of bowling in the 2000s team cracks me up.

Yeah, couldn't fit Watson in the team....
You don't really need Ponting or a keeper. Get it done.

With Flintoff being too good to be a 5th bowler, and Afridi, Yuvraj, Symonds and Jayasuriya very viable bowling options; I am considering dropping Bond for a better batting option to bat deeper.

A bit too harsh on him imo. He is a perfect slogger at no 7, don't see Watson as really an improvement there; and is definitely a better bowler, not to mention brings leggies to the table.

Don’t need Bond in 2000 team . Flintoff is perfect 3rd pace bowler.

No he is not, a 7 needs to be an aggressive but still capable batsman, not a blind slogger. he averages 23 in ODIs ffs. I also disagree with the "definitely better bowler", he can bowl more than Watson, sure - but that's pointless in a team with as much bowling as you have already put in. Yuvraj can turn the ball the other way if required.

Who you suggest for Bond then?? Chris Cairns?
I wouldn't say anyone is too good to be a 5th, but you definitely need to have some other AR strength in the other bowlers, and pick the best bats outside of those 5. The real problem with him is that he doesn't really suit any batting position, despite being good.
Afridi might bowl 2 overs a match in that team. Playing him as what is basically a specialist bat is... Questionable.

Watson .
