Wasim Akram Vs Viv Richards (odis)

[subshakerz]

My all time great team changes a lot especially in one day cricket but for now will give it a try

1. Sachin
2. Jayasuriya
3. Kohli
4. Viv
5. ABD
6. Dhoni
7. Klusener
8. Pollock
9. McGrath
10. Garner
11. Murali

Mine too except I have Wasim for Pollock.

Sure but Bevan was doing it in the 90s against higher quality attacks and in situations when he didn't need to blast it but preserve wickets when it seems hopeless. He was a different type of finisher.

Exactly. I have both as equals but Dhoni had the higher fire power.

 

[subshakerz]

I mean, that does mean I will rate you significantly lower than a consistent batsman, like Dhoni. And like, if not Dhoni then who at 6 anyways?? Bevan? Hardly any different and you loose on captaincy. Also don't like lose cannon bowlers at all who may give more than 5-6 runs bye.

Gilchrist's batting was specific to a strong team. And like, Dhoni's keeping would had worked for most teams.

Dhoni wins it due to captaincy.

Dhoni is literally the perfect no 6. Was more explosive than Bevan

Gilchrist at number 1 & Bevan at number 6
Jayasuriya at number 1 & Dhoni at number 6
It is just a matter of preference

Lara for Jayasuriya, Dev for Klusener and Wasim for Garner.
Or
Wasim for Pollock.

I feel Akram is a better wicket taker. But since this is one day cricket, I would choose Pollock because the guy was almost impossible to score against.

Tbh I do think Jayasuriya was a better bat (slightly) than Gilchrist and he may make my team mostly for his bowling; or else will take Lara/Rohit. Not saying that combo isn't useful, but only if you think Bevan/Dhoni have a significant gap.

Yeah but he has the SA WC loser curse on him.

We already have ABD, can't pollute our side too much.

 

[DrWolverine]

Rohit’s numbers are very good.
I watched Jayasuriya when he became an opener and he was so damn fun to watch.

You need those quick filler overs when a new bat is at the crease and before you know it 10 overs are gone.

Warne had winner vibes that helped a side.
