CW's greatest ODI team of all time

Sorry Daemon, I guess I was more voting around giving certain players votes as opposed to batting positions. If my team needs to be deleted, fine, I don't mind. ODI's T20's have always been just fun sideshows IMO anyhow.

Nah.. he has 2 years of good performances.. He has been pretty mediocre even since the WC.

Very murky at this stage because there are a few players still neck-a-neck, plus some juggling will probably be required in order to accomodate 2 specialist openers, and the required bowlers to bowl 50 decent overs. However, I'm tipping that we'll probably end up with the following;
01. Sachin Tendulkar
02. Sanath Jayasuriyah
03. Viv Richards
04. AB De Villiers
05. Andrew Symonds
06. Michael Bevan
07. MS Dhoni
08. Wasim Akram
09. Muttiah Muralitharan
10. Joel Garner
11. Glenn McGrath
01. Sachin Tendulkar
02. Sanath Jayasuriyah
03. Viv Richards
04. AB De Villiers
05. Andrew Symonds
06. Michael Bevan
07. MS Dhoni
08. Wasim Akram
09. Muttiah Muralitharan
10. Joel Garner
11. Glenn McGrath

That team has 3 number 11s. On a good day, the second and third best teams will give that one a run for their money.

Wasim, Murali, Garner, and McGrath are scoring very high and therefore will probably make up the tail.
However, by putting a batsman like Dhoni or Bevan at No.7 this tends to shield the '3 number 11s' because the middle-order batting is as strong as it could be. No room though for a bowling allrounder like Kapil Dev or Klusener at No.7 as the bottom half of the order would be too exposed - IMO.

Based on the numbers so far, Sachin, AB DeViliers, Viv Richards, Wasim, Garner, Murali and McGrath are all locked in.
Gilchrist and MS Dhoni on similar numbers vying for the keeping spot (Dhoni slightly ahead). I'll let this run for 3 or 4 more days before looking at the last 4 spots available.

Yeah, I understand why the team looks like what it does but just pointing out that if an actual match or matches were to take place, given that there is no real ODI Bradman, the #2 or #3 sides can easily topple this side,with its long tail and lack of a good 5th bowler.
