An experiment (part 2)

[marc71178]

Following on from the Super Series Announcement, Cricinfo have attempted to pick their ROW XI here.

I thought a Cricketweb version might be an interesting idea, but to make it easy to collate, I ask people only post their ROW XI's in this thread and leave discussion to other places.

This part is for the ODI XI's and I'll go first:

Tendulkar
Gayle
Lara (c)
Kallis
Flintoff
Yuvraj
Taibu (wk)
Pollock
Vaas
Bond
Muralitharan

After a week or so I'll collate and see who we pick.

err quite besides the point really.....mccullum is only an average keeper while taibu is quite brilliant.
i would have gone for either read or boucher largely because both of them are better batsmen towards the end of an innings and are good keepers too.

 

[Craig]

Murali (R Clarke if not available)

sangakkara is a real waste at no 8....its no good having strokemakers batting that low down the order especially with the quality of batting from 1-7
