All time world ODI XI game

[Victor Ian]

I wonder how Gilly would have fared as a middle order batsman in ODIs?

I wonder how Gilly would have fared as a middle order batsman in ODIs?

Better strike rate than Dhoni imo, but less not-outs, so his average wouldn't have been as good.

 

[randycricfreak]

Brills idea.

Adam Gilchrist

Wasim Akram
Glenn McGrath

I went with continuity.

Garner will be my 1st change

Dhoni
Wasim
McGrath

 

[oblongballs]

Surprised by how many votes for Dhoni, considering Gilly was a better keeper, fitter and a far more decisive batsman.

Mine is

Gilly wk

Akram
Younis

Why split up the best ODI pair I've seen. I can understand votes for McGrath though.

Bollocks was Gilchrist anywhere near Dhoni in batting.

Dhoni
McGrath
Garner

Ok, so Gilchrist leads Dhoni by one, 11 to 10 (plus he would have my vote FWIW)

Wasim ends with 13 votes, McGrath with 13, and Garner with 11. So McGrath and Wasim are the two to go thru. Lee, Pollock, Lillee, Hadlee and Younis all earned one vote each.

Weldone, I edited my post above yours to make it clearer but I dont think it should effect your votes.

 

[Teuton]

Viv
Warne
Hadlee

Edit: change Hadlee to Garner - I forgot to check that he wasn't already picked

 

[Starfighter]

Viv
Murali
Garner

Ponting
Warne
Garner

Ponting @3, Richards @4
Garner should be first picked for an ODI XI so it'd be criminal if he didn't make the team. That basically means Warne has to be the spinner (unless we went left-field and picked Afridi or Hoggy).

 

[morgieb]

Richards
Murali
Garner

All pretty straightforward imo

 

[Gob]

Richards
Murali
Garner

 

[NUFAN]

Kohli

Murali

Lee

Ive gone for Lee due to his superior strike rate and I wanted an outright speedstar as I feel that compliments the attack more nicely. Waqar was the other bowler I considered, and Bond to a degree.

 

[CricAddict]

Viv Afridi Waqar

If Wasim Akram bats at 8, then Ill back the No 2 team over No 1 team just due to the long tail.

 

[Himannv]

Viv Richards

Muttiah Muralitharan

Joel Garner

 

[ankitj]

Virat Kohli
Muttiah Muralitharan
Joel Garner

Richards will be voted in for #4 spot.

 

[morgieb]

Richards
Murali
Garner

All pretty straightforward imo

Actually change Richards to Kohli after looking up their records, had it in my mind Viv batted 3 a lot more than he actually did.
