Ive only put players that Ive actually seen play a One-dayer (no sobers then)

1. Gilchrist - no explanation
2. Tendulkar - same here
3. Ponting - great batsmen
4. Richards - one-day game made for Viv
5. Bevan - best finisher of all time
6. Rhodes - his fielding worth at least 20 runs.
7. Klusener - can pile quick runs. Good medium-fast
8. Akram - excellent left armer - great tonker of the ball
9. Warne - economical for a spinner
10.Ambrose - great bounce, economical
11.McGrath - very accurate, tight with the runs as well

12th man - Jayasuriya - can destroy bowling lineups, handy bowler

SS: Klusener

De Silva, Tendulkar and Bevo to provide any spin
 

Tom Halsey

International Coach
Tendulkar
Gilchrist
Richards
Dean Jones
Lara
Flintoff (note: atm I wouldn't select him, but come the end of his career he will be an absolute all-time great)
Klusener
Wasim
Warne
Murali
Waqar

I picked Warne and Murali because spin is a very underrated asset in ODIs and Warne and Murali together would be a mouth-watering prospect, especially on a turner. There were several bowlers unlucky to miss out, but I couldn't go past Wasim and Waqar because if it is ever close at the death with the oppo chasing, I don't think Wasim and Waqar would be easy to get the runs off.

Can't believe no-one except Halsey so far has put Flintoff in their team.
Klusener is a better batsman i spose, and that is better value when you already have 4 top class bowlers?
