Flintoff, a high-class batsman?Barney Rubble said:I'd take Flintoff and Warne. Then you get yourself a world-class pace bowler, a world-class spinner, and a high-class batsman all together.
I'd take Sangakkara over Gilchrist any day, and especially now.Barney Rubble said:I thought it was in a general way, not in a team-specific way.
In that case, I'd take Gilchrist and Warne. Although how happy they'd be at playing for England I'm not sure.
Err, what? Pollock is currently bowling far better than he's bowled for 3 or 4 years.Armadillo said:IMO, Pollock is becoming rather ineffective these days.
What would fascinate me is... how many of the "no-ball" chants would disappear if Murali were to line-up for Aus...FaaipDeOiad said:For Australia... Flintoff and Murali. Murali is the best bowler in the world outside of Australia, and Flintoff is probably next, and a capable batsman as well. As was said earlier in the thread, they could bowl with Warne, McGrath and Lee.
tut tut tut for someone who just topped the bowling and batting averages for his country in the just concluded ODI series with Australia in South Africa, i'd say thats definitely harshArmadillo said:IMO, Pollock is becoming rather ineffective these days.
Suddenly Ealham doesn't look quite so bad - at least he's played ODIs...RolledOver said:Munaf and Dhoni for Onedayers.
Munaf and Dravid for test matches.
Brett Lee? NZ should choose a McGrath or other world class bowler of a different mould, shouldn't they?Tim said:For NZ, we need a good top order batsman so i'd take Ponting. And we also need another good quick bowler to go with Bond so i'd take Brett Lee.
Mick Lewis has done a lot for the one day game. Remember how people were saying that ODI's were boring? Mick has given them the flick. Now managed to contribute to the two highest run chases in history. What a legend.LongHopCassidy said:Shaun Udal and Mick Lewis.
But seriously, Simon Jones and Shoaib Akhtar.
