think the pace attack on two is a lot stronger, also trust their middle order more, giving it to them

Would give to ROW for their middle order, if Asia gets another great at 4/5, then its Asia all the way

Asia XI:

Tendulkar⁷
Jayasuriya⁶
Kohli
Rohit
Abbas
Dhoni+*
Dev³
Akram¹
Saqlain⁵
Bumrah²
Murali⁴


RoW XI:

Gilchrist+
Lara
Ponting*
Richards⁶
De Villiers
Bevan⁷
Klusener⁵
Pollock³
Warne⁴
McGrath¹
Garner²



Batting -


Gilchrist = Jayasuriya (leaning Jayasuriya)

Richards>Tendulkar (clearly Viv, but not by a huge margin as I rated previously)

De Villiers=Kohli (leaning Kohli)

Bevan=Dhoni (leaning Dhoni)

Ponting>Rohit (Ponting is slightly better than Rohit, but the difference is larger here as Sharma is out of his natural position)

Lara<Abbas (same as Viv and SRT, probably just a little bigger margin)

Klusener>>Dev (that one is pretty massive. Though Kapil actually had a pretty good batting peak as long as Zulu's career and 24 average doesn't do his batting justice much, Zulu was a different beast down the order)

Pollock>Akram (again pretty decisive, though by now the value you get out of there batting is significantly lower than the top order difference)

Warne>Saqlain (at this point, does it even matters)


Not accounting for Garner, I would say the Asia XI has a clear advantage with the openers, while RoW XI has a clear advantage in the middle order as well as the lower order. So, they are ahead.



Bowling -

Garner=Akram (leaning Garner)

McGrath=Murali (leaning McGrath)

Pollock=Bumrah (leaning Bumrah)

Warne<Saqlain (this one's I don't think is massive, but do think is substantially big)

Klusener<<Dev (this one's actually massive)

Richards<Jayasuriya (Sanath just remember began as a bowler who can bat and didn't regressed like Smith)

Bevan<Tendulkar (again, doesn't matters by now)


RoW XI has a very very slight advantage with the leading 3, while the Asia XI has the much better 4th bowler and massively better 5th; with better 6th and 7th options. So, they are ahead.


Fielding-


Tier 1:

RoW: Ponting, de Villiers, Richards
Asia: Jayasuriya

Tier 2:
RoW: Bevan, Klusener
Asia: Kohli, Dev

Tier 3:
RoW: Lara, Garner, Warne, Pollock
Asia: Tendulkar, Abbas, Akram

Tier 4:
RoW: McGrath
Asia: Saqlain, Murali, Bumrah

So yeah, a pretty huge upperhand on fielding for the RoW XI


Wicketkeeping:


Gilchrist overall is a better keeper, but Dhoni is easily ahead in ODIs as a keeper


Captaincy:

A huge advantage to Asia XI, with Dhoni being one of, if not the best Captain of All time in ODIs. Ponting was a decent captain.



Final verdict: Asia XI at lead with 52:48

Mcgrath clearly the ODI Goat cause of his sustained WC record. So he’s better than Murali. Also love Bumrah but not sure as a bowler if he can already be rated ahead of Pollock(a top 7/8 bowler in ODIs).
 

Johan

International Debutant
why is Warnie considered so inferior in ODI's when in test him vs Murali is generally a tossup?
 

Johan

International Debutant
Warne vs Saqlain is a better debate in ODIs and I feel Saqlain wins that one as well
Saqlain has an argument against both Murali and Warnie in one day cricket, against the top sides.


Saqlain — 23.55 with 4.34 economy
Murali — 25.76 with 4.05 economy
Warne — 26.25 with 4.28 economy

He probably loses out to them on the basis of world cups obviously.

Ignore Saeed Chuckmal obviously
