2000s team vs 2020s team

Fanboy375

U19 12th Man
2000s team:
Hayden
Sehwag
Ponting (c)
Sachin
Kallis
Gilchris
Warne
Steyn
Akhtar
McGrath
Murali

2020s team:
Warner
Jaiswal
Smith
Root
Williamson
Pant
Jadeja
Ashwin
Cummins (c)
Bumrah
Rabada

Only that specific decade performance be allowed like Warne gets his bowling performance for 2000s but not 90s and Williamson gets from 2020s and not before

I don't see the point of Stokes especially with 5 frontline bowlers. Also hate Smith opening. Bring in Khawaja for Stokes.

Surely put Jaiswal as opener and take out stokes

You also need another batsman for the 2000s team. That is a very long tail with Warne at 7!

Is that a joke?

Just saw, 2000s have Warne at 7...... 2020s for me.
That's because, for whatever reason modern teams have gone with 4 front line bowlers plus a bowling rounder. Guess the 2000 was trying to match that trend. Me I'd go with:

Hayden
Sehwag
Ponting*
Dravid
Sanga
Kallis
Gilchrist +
Warne
Steyn
Murali
McGrath

If an all-rounder is needed (besides Kallis) put Pollock in for Warne. Pollock averaged 33 with the bat and just below 25 with the balls in the 2000s

Perhaps G Smith as one opener, but agree

Agree about Smith but who do you leave out between Sehwag and Hayden who were also immense. Sehwag on any batting favorable wicket is capable of destroying any type of bowler pace or spin. Smith is probably better vs pace especially pace on wickets with with any life in them. Hayden similar to Sehwag if a little less brutal. Any two of the three, imo would be fine.
