CW votes- The greatest ODI teams of all time (Australia)

[weldone]

How can anyone have that kind of information in their head to begin with to be able to recall it???

These days I am spending a lot of time building a ranking methodology for ODI players (separately for batsmen and bowlers). So, looked at various different results, comparisons etc. over the last few weeks.

 

[Howe_zat]

Bailey, Hussey, Watson

 

[veganbob]

Damien Martyn so underrated, so few votes.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Bevan
Jones
Ponting

 

[Burgey]

Bailey, Hussey, Watson

Good to see a vote for my man George.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Ponting
Jones
Hussey

 

[jimmy101]

Whilst it is nice to see a vote for George, he, rightfully, won't make it into the team when this is all said and done.

 

[stephen]

Ponting
Bevan
Hussey


Never played an ODI XI

Trumper
Hill
Bradman
Harvey
McCabe

---
---
Miller
Davidson
Lindwall

Davidson would be as good as Garner in ODIs. Guy barely gave a run away.

 

[morgieb]

Ponting
Jones
Hussey

Tossed up a few names; am not sure how strong a combo of Symonds/Bevan/M Waugh is for a 5th bowler so considered moving Bevan or Symonds up the order to fit Watson (or an O'Donnell type) or picking Chappell. In the end I stuck with my original gut on this though.

Bevan to bat 6.

 

[Zinzan]

Davidson would be as good as Garner in ODIs.

Big call innit?

 

[adub]

Sok for the spinner spot

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'm genuinely going to vote SOK over Warne. White ball specialist, didn't you know

 

[bagapath]

Big call innit?

Probably not. Davo was celebrated for his accuracy. Maintained a ridiculously low ER and bowling avg throughout his career.

He could also bat a bit. And he was a superb fielder (so was Garner). Would've be been an automatic IPL pick.

 

[Victor Ian]

Jones
Ponting
Hussey

 

[stephen]

Big call innit?

Possibly but I see no reason why he wouldn't have been an ATG in the format. He's still very underrated as a test match bowler as well.

 

[Red]

So at present we have :

Ponting - 23
Bevan - 13
Hussey -13
Jones - 13

Considering we have Gilchrist batting in the top six we can carry on from here if everyone is happy, and our top six will be locked. A number of people indicated they wanted Bevan at 6 anyhow. Will mean the #7 will be able to carry a bowling load, or share it with M.Waugh at least.

 

[Red]

A. Gilchrist +
M. Waugh
R. Ponting
D. Jones
M. Bevan
M. Hussey

M. Starc
D. Lillee
G. McGrath

Spinner


Select ONE of the following bowlers to be the spinner.

Shane Warne

Brad Hogg

Peter Taylor

 

[Zinzan]

Pfft, what if I want two spinners?

Anyway Warne marginally over Hogg I suppose, even though Warne is a very overrated ODI bowler, but he was great in the '99 semi, I'll give him that.

 

[Burgey]

Warne.
