Which Asian all time xi is the strongest?

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Are we seriously taking modern ODI records at face value here? As if they matter at all?

I agree you shouldn’t take them at face value, but it isn’t as if they don’t matter. Plus in Rohit’s case, it’s so absurdly good, that despite him being a modern ODI batter, he deserves to be ranked in the top 10.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

These are the two most important ODI innings he has ever played. He's an amazing ball striker but not one of the top 10 ODI bats. I might even pick Ganguly ahead of Rohit in an Indian ATG XI.

2015 semifinal:
R Sharma 34 off 48 chasing 329

2019 semifinal:
R Sharma 1 off 4 chasing 240

I respect your opinion but i don’t agree with this.

Analysis by checklist is bad, regardless of how much you try to lie about it being something else.

Better openers than Rohit:

Saeed Anwar, Sachin, Mark Waugh, Gilchrist, Jayasuriya, Hayden, Trescothick, Chris Gayle, Dilshan, Amla and maybe Ganguly, Kirsten

 

[honestbharani]

I would have Lara and Rohit in the same tier of ODI batsmen. Below the very top one with Viv, Virat, Sachin, MSD, Bevan, maybe ABD etc.

Better face than you - Kuldeep, Stokes, Chahal, Zampa

 

[honestbharani]

Better face than you - Kuldeep, Stokes, Chahal, Zampa

and better posts.

wut Zampa's face is the only thing not wrong with him

 

[subshakerz]

Baffled by all this slagging of Rohit. Any critique of him chocking goes for Kohli as well yet he gets rated in the top tier comfortably.

 

[subshakerz]

Yep, I’m just saying the SR difference be neutralised, plus Rohit’s done much better as an opener than Lara by now, and for longer.

Lara as opener is the 90s was well ahead of his times though and played much better bowlers.

That’s clearly why its better than yours…

 

[TheJediBrah]

That’s clearly why its better than yours…

I would say it is

 

[Migara]

And? More often than not the opposite of what Subs says is right.

And Dhoni is not even top 10.

Viv
Kohli
Sachin
AB
Zaheer
Lara
Ponting
Bevan
Chappell
Butler

Nah, Dhoni > Bevan. easily.

In ODI SL All time Xi definitely has a place.

A team of Jayasuriya, Dilshan, Sangakkara, Aravinda, Mahela, Ranatunga, Mathews, Vaas, Mendis, Murali, Malinga has pretty good bowling depth as well as batting depth.

India has always played Sri Lankan bowlers better. Pakistan bowled best to Sri Lankan batsmen. Sri Lankan batsmen were pretty good against Indian bowling of any kind, and Pakistani batsmen struggled more against SL bowlers than Indian ones.

AT Test XI is heavily biased for India because they played tests longer. Ideally teams could only include post 1947 players only, because soem of those early "Indian" players later called Pakistan their home.

Is also a better fielding unit than India and Pakistan's.

Kulasekera instead of Mendis imo. That way Malinga can save his overs for the middle and death.

At least they don't carry sandpapers

 

[Coronis]

At least they don't carry sandpapers

Would it really have helped them though?

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Wtf you talking? about Vaas and Malinga were better exponent of reverse swing than Waqar or Wasim. If anything they are the ones who are benefit the most from ball tampering.
