Imagine if we judged Sachin by his 3 worst innings: Top edging a wild pull shot vs Glen McGrath in the first over chasing 350Stat nitpicking or not, those are some atrocious innings..
Who in the world ever said Bevan timed 'all' his 195 ODI innings to perfection.An early duck doesn't count as a 'worst innings'. It's just a bad one. Sucking up 80 balls to score 33 and then losing by 8 runs is an atrocious innings, and dispels the myth that Bevan timed all his innings to perfection.
This is terrible. Just revisionist stuff. Williamson is a fine player but how you could rate him ahead of Ponting as a player in any format is beyond me. Fmd Ponting won three WCs, two as captain and was imperious as you could imagine at three. Williamson (at this stage at least) isn't a patch on him as an ODI player. Let's get fair dinkum here mate.You reckon Ponting, averaging 42, is definitely better than Williamson, averaging 48?
Hard to split Dean Jones and Ross Taylor for me, both very similar batsmen in that they could both do it all.
Bevan's SR of 72 disqualifies him from any serious ATG ODI side.
To be fair, I asked for a list of players who would definitely make it into an Oceania XI. Someone said Ponting - and I said I was surprised that he's a "definite" pick over a guy averaging 6 runs more than him. I didn't say I rated KW ahead of Ponting.This is terrible.

And Nathan Astle has 6K more runs than Glenn Turner, yet heaps of people have said already that Turner belongs over Astle in a NZ ATG ODI XIPonting has 10k more runs for ffs
Have heaps of people said that Williamson belongs over Ponting?And Nathan Astle has 6K more runs than Glenn Turner, yet heaps of people have said already that Turner belongs over Astle in a NZ ATG ODI XI

9. Hadlee (3)
10. Bond (2)
11. McGrath (1)
haha yesYou've got to be the most blindly parochial poster on the forum
I don't even mean that as bad thing but it's funny to see
Tbf I'd probably pick Hayden in Aussie conditions.I love Guptill but unless he goes more Hayden than Hayden to end his international career, no way does he deserve to be in there.
Turner averaged bugger all against the top sides in ODI's. I remember watching him giving the emerging Sri Lankan's hell in the 80's. He made it look easy, but he was a seasoned pro against players just starting out in international cricket. Sri Lanka were the new kids on the block back then, held in the same regard as the Banga's went they started out. And of course there was that big 170 against mighty East Africa.And Nathan Astle has 6K more runs than Glenn Turner, yet heaps of people have said already that Turner belongs over Astle in a NZ ATG ODI XI
Would you rather have Bevan? Let's do a comparisonhaha yes
i mean Ross Taylor
Rubbish post.Man given how many apparently ATG standard ODI players NZ have produced over Aus it's no wonder they've won so many major international trophies and were renowned as a great side for so long—
Oh wait.
