Stuart MacGill..... oh you said CURRENT.....

Surely this couldnt be possible, apart from cloning laws and stuff.... you couldnt have 11 batsmen, cause you wouldnt be able to bowl anyone out, same with bowlers and keepers... Flintoff would come the closest....

International Captain
If not current then Sir Garfield Sobers would be that cricketer. One of the greatest ever cricketers in the history of the game. Brilliant batsman, brilliant bowler, Im sure he could wicket keep as well if he tried :p

So currently nobody really fits the bill, although Jacques Kallis (in prime form and fitness) comes close.

But of all time, Sir Garfield Sobers fits the bill perfectly.

International 12th Man
oh sorry, i didnt realise it was an odi, i thought it was tests

Flintoff or Cairns. You can guarantee at least 8 Afridi's would throw their wicket away

Flintoff.

Fifty overs of Kallis would produce a total in the region of 350 most of the time, and I couldn't see him chasing that half the time. Freddy, however, would in all likelihood keep them much lower down - and one or two of him are bound to fire! Same goes for Afridi, Cairns or Oram.

Actually, fifty overs of Pietersens racking up 400 or so may be interesting :)

11 Flintoff's would be great for economy. They'd keep the run rate down and take the pressure off the batting Flintoff. The idea is strange but interesting. Kallis isn't a good enough bowler and afridi isn't good enough batsman so it has to be Freddie

No single player is good enough do beat Australia.... You cant beat them with 11 Allrounders

But when the all-rounder is good enough to play International cricket as a batsman alone, or a bowler alone?

Yeah i would agree Flintoff would come the closest, but wouldnt you agree that Australia posess specialist batters that are better than Flintoff and specialist bowlers that are better than Flintoff?
