Ok thanks guys. I have moved Klusener to pre-2000. That allows me to bring Greenidge in. In post 2000, Watson as all rounder and Symonds as additional middle order batsman. Considered Hussey but chose Symonds for more explosive hitting down the order. Butler's stocks have fallen a bit so didn't pick him.
No lara?
No. Richards, Abbas, Bevan, Jones all better than him.
I meant as opener, ahead of Greenidge
You have 12 players now in the pre 2000 team
With a heavy heart I have to drop Jones because some people object to playing xii players in an xi. *smh*
Amla sucks
Not easily at all.
the two best bats, the two best bowlers, batting depth down to nine with Garner and Warne able to hold a bat.
Other side has the best finisher, best pacer, best spinner and a more aggressive top 7 overall frankly. Will be close.
Garner for his batting still winning polls
That's true but his 90s achievements are more impressive
You've picked Warne in both teams
Even when absent Warne helped Aus win the 2003 WC.
Yeah he played at a level that was a step ahead of every other great batter of the time (except may be Bevan in a completely different role). Post 2000 he was still in the top tier but the tier was crowded.
meant Murali. Since I can’t separate the two I also interchange them
