Pretty much time to move on to the next round I think.

People who run things like this also do other things, like work and have families...

Ok, so the opening spot goes to Sachin, and the #4 spot to Kohli.

MWaugh, Dhoni, DeVilliers and Jones all received 1 or 2 votes but apart from that this was pretty unanimous.

Ok, for the next round please pick one player who is capable of bowling ten overs, or at least a major part of ten overs, so that we can see what we need for the rest of the team's balance.

Given the length of this tail I can't pick Klusener and have to go with a batting all rounder. The two obvious candidates are Kallis and Symonds. Kallis really needs to bat 3 or 4 I think, whereas Symonds is well suited to come in down the order.

So I'll pick Symonds.

 

[Teuton]

Imran

Klusener

 

[CricAddict]

Afridi

Mark Waugh brought so much more to the game than just his runs, even though he was awesome there too. Won games with the ball when needed and phenomenal in the field. With all the catches McGrath garner and mural will make he is no troll selection. Teams with mark Waugh in them were much better than teams without him.

 

[Victor Ian]

Symonds. He does the job asked for here. A similar strike rate to Imran and only 1 more run per over which you could argue is about era. And he is a gun in the field which the all time best needs. Fielding should really be considered for this team. Viv cuts it. Some of the others don't.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Thre's no way Symonds was good enough to bowl 10 overs in an AT XI.

 

[Himannv]

Lance Klusener (I'd have Symonds at 5 as well though)

Yeah and with Jaya not playing it's not like there's another 6th bowler too. Klusener and Kapil OTOH can do 10 overs.

Thre's no way Symonds was good enough to bowl 10 overs in an AT XI.

and yet he often did that in the world's best ever team and took crucial wickets. In this team with the opposition desperate for runs against him he'd be more dangerous. Stephen has been making a very valid point about balance. This team, is going to be rather average in the field at the moment and rather average in the batting beyond 5.
