Pick an all-time eleven from your country and let's have a little battle royal/debate to see whose team comes out on top. I'll go first:

WI

D.Haynes
G. Greenidge
V. Richards
B. Lara
C. Gayle
C Lloyd*
R. Jacobs+
C. Ambrose
M Holding
A Roberts
J Garner.

Super sub/12th man: Roger Harper.

Symonds
Bevan
Warne

[chaminda_00]

Hussey for Martyn anyday of the week

 

[oz_fan]

Yep.

 

[Slifer]

I'll wait until others have inputed their best elevens from there respective countries then we can compare!!

 

[oz_fan]

Does the team need a super sub or 12th man?

 

[andyc]

Francis, it's an all time ODI eleven.

 

[Smudge]

1. Martin Crowe
2. Some bunny
3. Some bunny
4. Some bunny
5. Some bunny
6. Chris Cairnes
7. Sir Richard Hadlee
8. Expensive bowler
9. Expensive bowler
10. Expensive bowler
11. Expensive bowler

Did a Kiwi bloke steal one of your girlfriends? That might explain this unhealthy disregard you have for NZ.


Anyway, I'll give it a quick stab.

1. Nathan Astle
2. Glenn Turner
3. Stephen Fleming
4. Martin Crowe
5. Chris Cairns
6. Chris Harris
7. Adam Parore
8. Sir Richard Hadee
9. Daniel Vettori
10. Shane Bond
11. Geoff Allott/Ewen Chatfield

 

[chaminda_00]

Funny you should say that because this chick I like is half maori...

but she doesn't like you i gather...

 

[Blaze]

Voltman - I would have the same, but I would find room for Larsen.

And Francis (what kind of name is that anyway?) - Get over it.

Larsen in at 9 and Allott/Chatfield out for me

 

[Raymond]

Is there a prize at the end for picking one?

Crowe should be 3. No way Fleming is a better batter than him.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I'll have a go at an England XI, although there's quite a high percentage of neo-colonials in there....

Nick Knight
Marcus Trescothick
Graeme Hick
Allan Lamb
Kevin Pietersen
Ian Botham
Andrew Flintoff*
Alec Stewart+
Darren Gough
Derek Underwood
Alan Mullally

Thorpey & Fairbrother are the two who're probably the most unlucky to miss out, but with Stewie coming in at 8 I think the batting probably has enough depth. "Deadly" gets the spinning berth almost by default, didn't play all the much but he's comfortably the best English spinner to have played in ODIs.

 

[Prince EWS]

1. Alistair Campbell
2. Neil Johnson
3. Grant Flower
4. Dave Houghton
5. Andy Flower
6. Duncan Fletcher
7. Sean Ervine
8. Heath Streak
9. Paul Strang
10. Bryan Strang
11. Henry Olonga

I think Murray Goodwin should have been there. He took Warney to the cleaners in India.

 

[Smudge]

Voltman - I would have the same, but I would find room for Larsen.

Yeah, just remembered him as I was driving back in to work to pick up my phone...

Crowe should be 3. No way Fleming is a better batter than him.

Crowe had more success at 4 - in the 1992 WC, for example...

 

[chaminda_00]

Yeah Goodwin infront of Campbell for me...

 

[Prince EWS]

I think Murray Goodwin should have been there. He took Warney to the cleaners in India.

I considered Goodwin, but his record really isn't that great. He's not an opener and I really dont see him displacing any of the middle order players I listed.

Yeah Goodwin infront of Campbell for me...

Campbell averages more at a similar strike rate and really contributed a hell of a lot more to Zimbabwean cricket than Goodwin did. He also opened a fair bit where as Goodwin never really did so.
