Brian Lara vs Ricky Ponting (against pace bowling)

Barry are you kidding

I didn’t include Barry in South Africa ODI XI

Barry wouldn't get into SA Test XI, because it's a "test" XI, just like how Sobers doesn't get into an ODI XI. If it's only "SA XI", Barry sure makes it.

What you want to say

 

[sayon basak]

What you want to say

Sobers shouldn't make into an ODI XI, and Barry shouldn't make into a Test XI.

Bloody War in Asia between 3 Powerful Teams

No way,Indian team is too strong.

Yep. I don't think though most people have Barry for scoring 500ish runs over Mitchell, Smith, Barlow and Kirsten??

Sri Lanka XI : 1) Sanath Jayasuriya 2) Tillakaratne Dilshan 3) Kumar Sangakkara+ 4) Aravinda de Silva 5) Arjuna Ranatunga* 6) Mahela Jayawardene 7) Angelo Mathews 8) Thisara Perera 9) Chaminda Vaas 10) Muttiah Muralitharan 11) Lasith Malinga.

Jayawardene at 6 is too low..... Have him at 4 and shift everyone one place. Also, an all-rounder for Mathews like Maharoof or Arnold (if Arnold, then I would do with Perera too for Mendis/Hasaranga).

They are very close, but giving India slight edge

Mathews is an ideal choice as other teams are very strong

10 overs from Jayasuriya, Mathews and De Silva seems pretty reasonable

 

[Van_Sri]

Yes

3 Powerful Teams - Who is Stronger and Why ? Can anyone Explain ?

Both of them should not be competing for any of the ODI XIs. Due to the small sample size, I do not include Barry in any test XI (with the exception of the SA all-time test xi.)

Afridi as an opener avg-24 in odis.

Afridi as an opener avg-24 in odis.

That’s all even Pakistan expects from him. They have 9 Batsman so Afridi can play his natural game of hitting or missing, Afridi is more useful as a bowler to support Saqlain

Rizwan should open and Afridi, Imran and Razzaq have a flexible order for 6-8

Rizwan never opened in ODI’s but you can discuss with Imran about that option
