Explosive XI

pskov

International 12th Man
Supposed to be the opposite of Gritty XI. Players who are always taking risks, going for the big shots, trying for the magic ball. Sometimes they pull it off spectaculary and sometimes they fall flat on their faces, but they are always exciting to watch! In short when they are on they are ON, but when they are off they can be very, very bad.

My side from current players:

C Gayle
S Jayasuriya *
K Pietersen
M Clarke
S Afridi
A Symonds
M Dhoni +
B Lee
S Harmison
S Akhtar
M Ntini

Pretty superb ODI team, but not sure I'd completely trust the batting in a Test, which I suppose is almost the point.

swap Harmison for Bond & Clarke for Gilchrist can leave him out of an explosive XI imo

Regretfully, I cannot meaningfully contribute to this thread.

I have searched for almost an hour and have been unable to come up with a single first-class cricketer with the initials 'TNT'.
