Jayawardene must have come close.

Looks pretty good. Who's Davidson? I don't think I've heard of him before.
Bevan at four? I'd have it something like
Gilchrist
Waugh
Ponting
Waugh
Symonds
Bevan
Hussey
That's just my opinion though

Alan Davidson, the second best left arm fast bowler of all time IMO.
Bevan has very good numbers at 4 if I remember correctly.

Its a toss up between Mahela and Ranatunga....and I know who I'd go for ...Ranatunga was a brilliant batsman in his prime and definitely the best Captain SL has ever had...His legacy in SL Cricket is huge.... Unfortunately no one will come close to matching that as a Captain...

That has got to be one of the most lethal ODI seam attacks ever IMO

I would've slotted Jayawardene in there for Roy Dias who only played 20 Test matches.

One of the most potent ODI bowling attacks that could ever be fielded.

Mankad > Kapil with the bat. Replace a seamer (probably Nissar) with Bedi or Kumble for home tests - we certainly need three spinners at home.
Absolutely ..Only the West Indian attacks would come close to matching that in lethality.
I would love to see how many batsman would have the stomach to face such an attack.

I'm gonna have a crack at the NZ test team, bearing in mind I know very little about pre-1980 test players.
Glenn Turner
Mark Richardson/John Wright
Andrew Jones
Martin Crowe?
Bert Suttcliffe
Chris Cairns?
Richard Hadlee
Ian Smith/Brendan McCullum
(spinner)
Dick Motz?
Shane Bond?
There are definitely other players who should be in there, I just don't know them yet.

Yeah, Davo just edges out McGrath as the 3rd seamer, based on his performances as a bowler and his left-handedness adds another bit of variety to the attack. Add to that the fact that he was genuinely a bowling allrounder (as opposed to a bowler who can bat a bit like a Warne or Lindwall) and a great fielder (he was nicknamed 'The Claw' because of his habit of snatching sharp catches out of the air).
Steve Waugh batting spot in the ODI team is a bit of a poser, I want him in for his solid batting and very handy medium pace and death bowling. But he's not really in Hussey's league as a late in the innings pinch-hitter, and I'd be loathe to deprive Ponting, Bevan or Symonds the chance to have as long as possible to bat. Probably have him at 5 ahead of Symonds and Hussey on reflection...

I'd do it, if I was paid as much as an Aussie test player. Not saying I'd score any runs though...Absolutely ..Only the West Indian attacks would come close to matching that in lethality.

Side looks a bit thin in both batting & bowling if we were to imagine it coming againts opposition all time attacks & batting line-ups. For me Wettimuny hasn't done near enough to upstage Atappatu for the opener spot, Jayawardene is a must & even if Sangakkara has to bat @ 7 Silva or even Kaluwitharana can't make it. I'd also be tempted to have Malinga in at this early stage since he is easily the second best seamer sri lanka has produced and one can easily see him having an excellent career.
I'd go:
Attapatu
Jayasuriya
De Silva
Dias
Jayawardene
Ranatunga
Sangakkara
R Ratnayake/S De Silva - depending on conditions
Vaas
Malinga
Murali

Ian Smith would be a definite choice over Brendan McCullum IMO. Vettori would probably be the spinner, I'd have John Wright over Mark Richardson as well. Ewen Chatfield and Danny Morrison could be potential fast bowlers in that attack. Fleming and Astle a little unlucky to miss out.I'm gonna have a crack at the NZ test team, bearing in mind I know very little about pre-1980 test players.

Morris for Ponsford. Ponting for Harvey. McGrath for Lindwall. Shocking omissions ...
