CricketWeb selects the ATG ODI XI

Murali over Warne in ODIs. Warne probably pips it in Tests.

 

[subshakerz]

Why can't opening bowlers be spinners?

Sure they can but having at least two genuine pacers I am assuming most posters will agree on.

 

[subshakerz]

Warne just edges Murali for me.

Need my Spinner to have that little more X factor which is where Warney gets ahead of Saqi and Murali.

I agree with the xfactor part. I think 80 percent of the time the pacers will do the job in ODIs but I like Warne for coming in those special occasions.

Also, Warne was a decent slogger.

 

[subshakerz]

So far
Murali - 5
Warne - 4
Saqlain - 2

Murali

 

[Slifer]

Murali. That people rank Warne ahead of him or Saqlain in Odis is a joke.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Murali

 

[Socerer 01]

Muralitharan

weird that the leading wicket taker in ODIs doesn’t get into an ATG side for many

 

[ankitj]

Anyhoo, my selections for 3, 4 and 5 are Viv, Kohli and ABD.

This for me too

 

[ankitj]

Murali

 

[Fuller Pilch]

As a bowler Murali is a bit better but for an ATG XI perspective Warne brings his batting into the equation.

Warne's runs per innings in odis is just around 9-10 which is hardly a big bonus

Yeah Warne might have been reasonably useful as lower order batsman but not in ODIs. There would be a much stronger case for picking Pollock over McGrath for batting ability than picking Warne over Murali.

What? Pollock gets picked over Mcgrath on bowling alone. Better economy, similar average, more longevity + only thing he's worse is in S/R

Pollock and Garner are locks in ATG ODI XI. The question is who are u gonna pick between Hadlee, Akram, Mcgrath for the 3rd seamer.

You are so far beyond even "kuch bhi?" territory at this point.

Pollock and Garner are locks in ATG ODI XI.

See above.

 

[TheGreatest]

What about Michael Bevan?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

What about Michael Bevan?

Vying with Lance Klusner and Joel Garner for the number 6 spot.

 

[TheGreatest]

You definitely need Jonty Rhodes to stop the boundaries in the powerplays!
We ladies adore him!

 

[TheGreatest]

I don't see Martin Crowe in here. He is a sure in my XI.
