Really think Maxwell is more suited to bat at 7 and bowl very useful offies as one of the primary 5th options.

 

[Migara]

For SL

Jayasuriya
Dilshan
Sangakkara (wk)
Aravinda
MJ
Arjuna
Mathews
Vaas
Murali
Mendis
Malinga

Pathum Nissanka and Asalanka would make claims for the middle order. Problem with us is that all these players played in a very compact time. Other than for that era, cupboard is truely empty for us.

Kamindu Mendis is going to get in here as well as the atg sl Xi for the other formats.

Cremer over Paul Strang? Also, I would bat Taibu above Streak.

Kulasekara was ranked number 1 for a while and that should count for something. Mendis was pretty meh once the mystery was decoded

There is a lot of case for Kulasekara as well as Rumesh Ratnayeke. But Mendis is the wild card, when he fires, other side go in flames.

Where's Andrew Symonds?

 

[weeman27bob]

Where's Andrew Symonds?

Can he be a fifth bowler in an ATG ODI team?

 

[shortpitched713]

Can he be a fifth bowler in an ATG ODI team?

Makes it as a batsman alone, for mine. Also, you need 6 (at least competent) bowlers in ODIs, for mine.

 

[Red]

Can he be a fifth bowler in an ATG ODI team?

Yes

Wanindu Hasaranga easily gets in over Ajantha Mendis in this side, especially when you consider his batting as well.

 

[Anthony Clayden]

Greg Chappell as middle order and 5/6th bowling option

Yes i would include Hasaranga for Ajantha Mendis , Hasaranga 3 dimensional cricketer with batting, bowling and fielding quality..

Also in a SL ATG side there will be so many bowling options , Jayasuriya, Dilshan , Aravinda ,Mathews , Ranatunga that's over 600 ODI wickets from batsmen alone. Can afford to look at balance and have a longer batting line up

Hasaranga is very good, but so was Kulasekera

 

[CricAddict]

Hasaranga is very good, but so was Kulasekera

But a SL odi atg side can have only 2 pacers and 2 spinners with Jaya, Dilshan and Aravinda covering up 5th bowler. Will you take Kulasekara over Malinga or Vaas?
