200 cuts out Viv and a few other handy players, but ok...


Tendulkar
Lara
Ponting
Kohli
DeVilliers
Dhoni +
Kapil
Pollock
Wasim
Murali

[Red]

Could either include Gilchrist or Dhoni and be equally happy.

200 a pretty arbitrary and high number of min matches

It does neatly make Murali the only spin option.

 

[Logan]

In hindsight i would replace Sanga in the team with ABD

Why? ABD is surely a better batsman than Sanga.

 

[harsh.ag]

Why? ABD is surely a better batsman than Sanga.

That's what he is saying, albeit in hindsight.

Malinga

Sanga above Lara and ABdV ?
Malinga above McGrath ?

 

[Attitude]

With due respect to Lara, Sanga's ODI record is phenomenal and better. As for ABD I have already said that in hindsight I would have replaced Sanga with ABD in the XI.

Malinga I think the pre-eminent white ball seam bowling specialist of his era. So I would give him the spot.

 

[Malcolm]

With due respect to Lara, Sanga's ODI record is phenomenal and better.

How?
Lara is an ATG batsman, Sanga is not.

 

[Attitude]

Have you seen Sanga's record? Test avg of 57? Not an ATG?

 

[Malcolm]

Have you seen Sanga's record? Test avg of 57? Not an ATG?

Isn't this thread about ODIs?

In tests, Sangakkara is an All-time great batsman. In ODIs, he is very good.
